When entering your text into the description box for your new item listing, you will need to use some basic HTML tags to allow the text to be formatted with paragraph breaks and line breaks. The tags you need are listed below:
<P> - Insert this before any text where you would like to start a new paragraph.
<BR> - Insert this where you would like a simple line break (as if you hit the enter key.)
We hope that this will assist you in formatting your text. You may also use various other HTML tags to change your font size/color, etc. There are many online HTML tutorials, as well as a guide provided by eBay, available at this URL:

Hello dalia26,
We provide pre-formatted templates, and can offer support for our templates, but we cannot offer support or directions on formatting your ads using your own HTML. This is something you will need to research a bit. You might want to start with a more intesive web tutorial, like the one available here:

Hi Dalia26,
I would also like to add that changing the background can only be done after you launch the auction on eBay, using the revise auction form. It is not an option provided with the create listing forms so they will always launch with the default white background, so you have to wait and change it then. If you inserted the tags to change background color in the listing it will get overrided by the eBay default.
