How Do I Add A Background To My eBay Auction?
Hi Terry,
How do people put the nice backgrounds on their eBay descriptions? I know you can go to the html tab and add a colored background. But, I cannot figure out how to do it with a image or background downloaded from the free internet sites.
The listings look so nice when there’s a nice background. I would just like to know how to do one. Hope you can help.

Why Won’t My Limited Edition Sell On eBay?
Hi Terry,
Three times now, I have tried to sell a small statue, exquisitely carved out of marble and resin, of the famous baseball player…Ty Cobb. I’ve written about him, I used an audio story and ofcourse the promotional sales copy. NOTHING!
The statue cost me $175.00 so I can’t sell it for less. It is numbered, museum packed with a framed letter of authenticity…so this is not junk…and will increase in value over time.
Someone told me that classy stuff doesn’t sell on eBay but this is Baseball Memorabilia! I simply don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. Any advice?
Thanks much,
Steve
Should I Incorporate My eBay Business?
Hi Terry,
I have your Auction Revolution book and it’s very well written and very helpful.
What’s your advice so far as creating a corporation or LLC? Is it ok to start out just under my personal name or should I make an LLC right away for my eBay business?
Thanks for your help!

Open An eBay Store or Build A Website?
I have an eBay store. I feel like I pay more in fees than make any money. Is it more important to have an eBay store or have your own website?
Thanks for your help.

Can I transfer feedback from one eBay account to another?
Terry,
I am contemplating opening up a new eBay account for the purpose of selling items for the Desert Division as a fund raiser. Do you know if there is a way to transfer my feedback rating to a new account so we wouldn’t be starting with a rating of zero?

How does eBay associate accounts?
As you know, eBay can suspend any account for any reason - justified or not justified.
In June 2005 you and Jim Cockrum were writing about eBay account suspensions. You suggested to open multiple accounts. Jim stated that eBay will suspend all of
your accounts because they’ll find you by your IP address.
I know about cases that accounts were suspended because eBay linked active accounts to suspended accounts. Do you have an update on this issue? What could be done in case my account gets suspended?
Regards,
Harry
