Hi bibliophile,
The only way to alter the background of the actual template is to revise the auction and alter the html used to create the template (I do not advise this unless you are VERY html-savvy.)
I believe there is a way to add a background to the auction page itself within the item description, but unfortunately I do not know how to do this myself.
You might want to post the question in the eBay Outlook.
