When filling in the "Description" field, can you use any other formatting options other than <P> and <BR>?

Thanks!

After some cautious experimenting I can say that Yes, you can use other HTML tags in the description field.  I've changed the font size and colour, and made words bold and italics.

New Question .... when you list items one by one on ebay there is a new check box that allows you to automatically relist the item for free 3 times.  Is there a corresponding field in File Exchange?

Thanks!

Hi stouffvillejen,

A big limitation in File Exchange is that it does not support line breaks and carriage returns in the description field. If multiple line descriptions are desired, you must paste HTML text into this field. Use the <BR> and <P> HTML tags to separate lines into multiple paragraphs.

eBay provides a script that removes all carriage returns, escape quotes, and performs all necessary changes to make your Description field text valid for File Exchange. To get the script and instructions for using it, please access the following page:

Currently, the only way to apply or remove the 3x Auto relist option is directly on the eBay site.

Regards,
