Oddly, eBay best practices advise against templates and splashy.
Yes, up until now, that is. It looks as if eBay is going to get into the templates business.
I think they realize that companies like Auctiva and Ink Frog have been getting money from countless sellers for things eBay could have (should have?) been providing all these years. I've used Auctiva since the beginning because it's easy, simple, inexpensive, and it works. No doubt eBay's foray into this area will be complicated, difficult, expensive and full of glitches...
However, I'm not buying into the whole eBay credo of change for change's sake. I think sellers are getting tired of it and I suspect that constant radical change is beginning to get wearisome for buyers, too (especially those who have come to recognize the look and layout of a seller's store).
One thing I did find encouraging -- it was time eBay took another look at some of its promotional features. Let's hope this will help (and will work properly):
"...eBay has revamped what was formerly called Sales Maximizer into what is now called Promotions Manager that will eventually replace Markdown Manager. Promotions Manager allows sellers to offer order size discounts; free shipping offers; sale events; related item discounts; and targeted coupons. The tool gives sellers much more flexibility in designing promotions to encourage increased order size, for example. "
