  HTML codes can be used within your eBay listings to alter the look and feel of each auction. Codes are added in the "Title and Description" section of the listing process, the codes below can just be copied and then pasted directly via the "Enter your own HTML" option.

The procedure is much the same as above, but this time the words ‘bgcolor=blue’ are replaced with background=”http://the address of your image.jpg” The code for the template would now read -
Using an image like this:
By changing the image that you link to, you will be able to create almost any type of border.
