No 'Sales Numbers' post without a full write up. This includes any external website that leads to personal information AND screenshots with other usernames (eBay, Mercari, Poshmark, FB, etc.) He has been using this template for years and years (I'm sure it was devised long before mobile applications were a factor), and he's still selling stuff, but I think he could be doing much better if his listings weren't such a graphic mess to wade through.NO POSTING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION. (Technically, the problem is that the formats for his template do not try to re-format the page for the screen size, but instead paint everything in fixed dimensions, and leave it to the viewer to manually scroll side-to-side as needed.) I suspect a lot of his interested viewers don't even know there is a description somewhere off in the ozone to the right of the photos.

The images bleed off the right side of the screen, and you can't see anything of the description unless you know to scroll to the right.

Why Adding Description to eBay Store Is Important Adding description to ecommerce stores such as eBay store is important since your customer will know the details of your products by reading your description. The whole template is a fixed-width layout that looks okay on a wide-screen desktop or laptop (16:9 screen ratio), but on an older monitor (4:3 ratio, old-style TV screen proportions) or, God forbid, a mobile device, it's a disaster. You can make an eBay description template free with some tools or search the template you want. Down the right side of the page, in a narrow column maybe one-third the width of the images or less, is his description.

In fact, let me offer a specific example of why templates are a bad idea: one seller whose products I look at frequently is using a big, sprawling template that stacks all the images for his listing in huge renderings down the left side of the page. They gum up the works, and make it harder for a buyer to purchase an item.
