Using a web standards based layout in eBay does not make a lot of sense when
you take a peak under the hood (view source) and see that eBay is clearly
years away from a standards based layout. However, that does not mean you
should adopt a standards based layout for yourself. I found some great
examples the other day of sellers who appear to be using semantic mark-up.
The only delema I see is that they have been forced to include the <style>
element within the page <body>, which appears to be due to the constraints
in listing an auction on eBay.

Subject: [WSG] should ebay listing alike be tabular layout?
Hi I have a question, should ebay listing alike be tabular layout?
Have a small job comes in that client asks to convert an ebay alike
auction layout (which is done in table) to css. I think it's tabular
justifiable and therefor do not wish client to spend unnecessary money
for me to do the conversion. Thought I get a second opinion from you
experts.
Thanks!
