Hi I have created a html template for my ebay listings. I have some text in the template inside a div tag with delivery and returns information. This information changes frequently so I need a way of changing the text once for all my ebay listings, rather than going into each listing individually and changing the text. Does anyone know the best way to do this ? I thought I could create a template in dreamweaver and use this but i don't think this is possible in ebay. Alternatively is there any way I can use an external styles sheet to change the text in a div tag. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Tobie

Hi,

 

Can I use an external style sheet to change actual text or is it used just to change styles ?

 

I am creating an ebay listing with html and i have a section of text in the listing which i want to change regularly. I dont want to go into each of my 200 listings individually every time I want to change it.

 

Many thanks

 

Tobie

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) so no you can't use CSS to change text, you will require an interface such as turbolister or something of that nature to update listings on ebay en mass.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I thought css was just for style. Is there any way I can host some text on a server, then add a link to the hosted text on my ebay listing - similar to using photobucket for images ? But use text (I don't mean have text as an image , i mean actual text.) ? Thanks, Tobie

Have a look at this http://pages.ebay.com/sellers_assistant/pro.html

I am struggling to see why you need to change text on a listing after you posted it for sale? are you advertising with your listings?

if you realy needed to use just CSS you could use this

 

 

<style>
        #{yourdivID}:after {
              content: "text";
        }
</style>

will ebay let you actually link an External style sheet? i don't think they do... worth a try though

Sorry I don't know the exact solution to your problem, but you can use content CSS property to insert text. Like this

body:after {

display: block;

content: "Text";

}

Hi yes ebay will let you use external style sheet. I've tried using that code D4Y0 but cant seem to get it to work. So I guess i just replace yourdivID with my div id and replace "text" with the text i want inside the div ? i tried this and put it in the external style sheet but doesn't seem to work. Thanks

what does your code look like? show us the CSS you are doing? if you are using the brackets you need to remove them!
