eBay uses HTML for their listings, so if you want anything other than the
run on plain text you sometimes see in an ad, you need to use HTML tags.
Here are some basic ones to spruce up your listing:
<P> - new paragraph
<BR> - line break (I use <BR> & <P> together to create new paragraphs with a
line or two? in between)
<B> </B> - any text in between these two will be Bold
<U> </U> - underline
<I> </I> - italics
The '<' and '>' are very important, that is how the browser identifies
whatever is inside as an HTML tag. As an aside, I always prefer listings
ending around 7PM PST, everyone is home from their activities on the West
Coast and everyone is finished dinner on the East Cost (yes, I know there
are people in between, but I'm playing the population game). Enjoy
