I have written many times about how important it is for eBay listings to give out the “feeling” of trust to a potential purchaser. An eBay template either gives a potential eBay buyer the warm and fuzzies or quickly makes them want to hit the back button!
The place for your branding on eBay is your eBay template i.e. your logo, colours, fonts, icons, terms and conditions etc.
Over the years I have seen many ways of creating templates as well as purchasing templates off the shelf. We create our own templates using Dreamweaver and HTML. However recently one of my coaching clients showed me a listing creator program she has been using for the last few months which appears to be very fast, easy to use and does not require any HTML knowledge at all!
I was quite amazed at not only how fast she could list items, but also the quality of her listings.
Here is a list of features I copied off the website.

Hi Neil,
Thank you for the great tips on the article.
As picky as the new eBay search engine is, do you still recommend using templates on eBay listings?
Will all the HTML in the template hurt how well you rank with the cassini eBay search engine?
Regards,
Danny
Hi Danny,
Yes I would defiantly recommend using a template as the template is to give eBay buyers the “feeling” of trust. It is also your “branding”
Best regards,

Hi Neil,
In the latest 2018 Seller Update, it appears that custom store templates are being phased out. Do you still recommend custom listing templates? Where would you recommend getting one?
