Well my daily driver, a Civic with 283K miles just died and I need something other than a 65 Mustang at the moment.

So the Mustang is on eBay.

Get rid of the cute background, reformat the picture links as they get cut off on the corners, no more than two pictures wide for Ebay.

Add a larger font, and put them in bold, as the current text is lost in the background clutter.

I went to "change" the description, but ebay actually just let me add a "revision", so now it has 2 wide pictures below the 3 wide pictures. What a mess. Oh well.

Yank it and restart, believe me, you'll get more bids that way.

The idea in your head is to keep it simple, put all of the description in one area. Make it bold enough to read easily. Pictures formatted to be two side by side all the way down. Don't break out descriptions of each picture below each one as nobody will read them. break out description items line by line (bullet style).

Believe me, the redone ad will get the car sold at or higher than what you and I spoke about. As it sits now, it's very difficult to navigate and as such, people will pass over it due to the strain on their eyes.

I'll PM you some additional verbiage to add to the bottom of the new auction

I was too busy to mess with the listing yesterday. With bidders and watchers on it, I don't think it is a good idea to pull it now.

I just appended a more clear description at the bottom and then added some of your verbiage as well.

Just a reminder this auction ends today.

My Mom told me she wants the car sold as soon as possible, so yesterday I lowered the reserve to ensure it sells.
