I would like to use the "MY eBay" feature, but I am stumped about loading into it.
I have created a small but colorful html page using Netscape Composer. I would like to load this into "My eBay" page but so far I have had no success. I tried copy and paste, but all I got was just the typing I put into Netscape Composer--no html appeared.
Any suggestion as to how I should do this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Don't use <head><title><body> or <html> tags.

Use tags that are just for the words or table themselves.

For a customized about me page, do your html and copy it into the box leaving ebay's opening and closing tags, and eliminating all the other template stuff that they use.

I would open the page in IE, and look at the source in notepad. Then drag your mouse over everything in the body that you want to keep.
copy it then paste it once you are in the ebay window.

If you are using a mac use the mac notepad (I forgot it's name not at my home 'puter) and do the same.

Netscape source is not as easy to work as is IE.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Capriole,
Using your instructions I got it loaded and working OK now. Quite a job though--took me three hours, but it was worth it.
Thanks again,
Dick
