Why does my text not carry over exactly what I make in Word to my ebay listing ?

Question

I work very hard in a word document with size, color and all those text issues but when I copy and paste into my description for my ebay listing it changes the colors and such, is it because I started out and then copied and repasted, did I set something in motion but not starting with a clean screen to paste it to on my ebay listing ? help the 56 year old dino once again thanks

Answer 1

Psylence is right. If you want more choices on font size and color, download Turbo Lister. It is free from eBay and you don't have to be on-line to set-up your listing. It takes a few minutes to download and then Turbo Lister will get your account information from eBay. Once Turbo is set-up, you can create your listings on your computer without being on line. When your listings are ready, you connect to the Internet and up-load them to eBay. Another advantage is that your auctions will end within seconds of each other. You can also put photos in you text at no extra charge. You need to sign up for VillagePhotos, up-load your pictures and copy the URL. Then just paste the URL in your text using the photo tool. I know I'm getting pretty complicated, but Turbo Lister is very easy to use. If you want to download it go to seller tools on eBay and its on the list. Good luck and happy selling!

They are different formats, thats why it changed. When you COPY, it only copies the text, not the size, or color. Similar as if you were copying text from notepad to ebay.
