Hi, I have been selling a few months on eBay. This summer I spent the slow time making a template for my auctions. I put up some this week, and I am getting emails saying the people can't see them - can't see the photo and text I have there - ack! I can see it - I use IE5.
Anyways, I wonder if it is the background color I used (a light blue) - so I just took it off of all the auctions with no bids. It is still on a few that have bids. Could some of you look at my auctions and see if you can see the text and photos or not?
This one still has the color:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=429159121
Here is one I just took the color off of:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=429159156
Thanks much all! I'll be checking back for your replies. I hope it is just the color - if so I will cancel bids on the auctions with bids and redo the html. If it isn't the color - I'm stumped! sigh

Doesn't have anything to do with the color... The people who can't see the items in your auctions are probably using the Netscape browser. Netscape will not display a table if it doesn't have both the start and end commands for the table - though I don't have time to look real closely at your HTML source, I'm 90% sure you'll find that the table that shows the picture and description of the item is missing a /table command.

Thank you both for looking at these for me 
Glenda, you are right about the html in the auctions - I don't have a /table for the top part where the photo and description is. I didn't put one there because I thought I was sort of putting a table-in-a-table .. and that the end /table command would cover them both. Going to change that now.

I have Netscape and I can't see the descriptions on either of them.

I'm using Netscape on an iMac and all I can see is your shipping info and terms of sale - no description, no pic.

Netscape user, too. No pictures show up. Only
shipping info and terms of sale. (But that part looks very good  )

quite. every TD needs a /TD, every TR needs a /TR, and every TABLE needs a /TABLE - or netscape users will wonder what happened.
I believe simple is best. take a look at one of my auctions for an example.

Thanks again all!
I have just finished revising all the unbid on auctions to add the missing /table code. I will deal with the several auctions that have bids on later this evening (cancel bids, cancel auction, fix, and relist).
Yes, I agree simple is best ... and I thought I was doing simple just by using a table and a bit of color - lol, oh well .. I guess it helps to write it all correctly in the first place.
You all are the best!

I can see the table and read the text but I did think the image was a little small.
Pretty kitty.

IE 5.5: everything shows up fine! Nicely designed auctions!
