When
we visit eBay shops, sometimes we get surprised to see attractive eBay
homepage, product description and we, as a buyer may get tempted to buy the
product from that respective store itself. Alternatively, we get a second
thought of how people manage to make their e- shops highly attractive that are
lovable by visitors and they tend to visit the shop every now and then.
Then,
to find the secret; we also do lots of research however we may or may not get
the satisfactory results. We also find web design companies who charge lots of
pounds to design our eBay shop and to make it simple and. certainly, we can
design eBay store on our own however it may be somewhat difficult to do so
without proper coding knowledge. Here,
in this article you will learn how to make custom eBay design templates on your
own that too with little coding knowledge, read ahead to know more.
Steps to develop your own
eBay store design:
·
You should be an active eBay seller with an eBay shop.
·
Get some server with free web space where you can host a .CSS
file and images that are to be used in eBay store template.
·
Select “Quick Store setup” option to manage the shop.
·
Add the relevant shop categories i.e. Main categories &
sub categories.
·
Add the shop features. These include what exactly your shop
deals into, why buyers should prefer to purchase from you, why your shop should
be the unique place to purchase from.
·
Once this is done, move to the next step “Display
settings”.

At this point, if you feel some categories are
left to be added or removed, you can do so later by going back to the “Manage
my store “option.
·
Select “Display settings” where you can add shop
title, shop URL, edit your logo as well as store description.
·
Then, select “ Theme & Display” settings
where you can edit shop theme, add custom templates to your shop, edit left
navigation bar settings and also you can select the way you want your products
to be displayed on the store front.
·
Then comes, “Custom Pages” which is the stepping
stone for the shop’s custom design.
·
In this section, you can create simple
professional store front with soothing colors, flash banners and more.
·
However, every section needs HTML coding ready
consisting of images, design as well as .
CSS file
(mandatory for decent look of any store front).
·
Once you have everything handy, Header image is
uploaded on the server; then go to Manage my shop> Display settings>
Theme & Display> Store Header display.
Select “Change”.
·
Then, click on “Yes, include additional
information” in header”.
·
Add the HTML code and save your changes.

Disable the normal eBay header so that custom
header can be displayed properly.

area of the shop, select “Custom Pages “from left navigation bar.
