Absolute Beginners Guide to eBay (4th Edition)

As I said, you don't have to be a web programmer to create your own About Me page. All you have to do is click a few options and fill in some blanks, and you're ready to go.

Follow these steps:

1.

On any eBay page, click the Site Map link (above the Navigation Bar).

2.

When the Site Map page appears, go to the Connect section and click About Me.

3.

When the main About Me page appears, click the Click Here button.

4.

When the next page appears, as shown in Figure 6.2, click the Create Your Page button.

Figure 6.2. Your About Me page starts here!

5.

When the Choose Your Editing Options page appears, check the Use Our Easy Step-by-Step Process option, then click the Continue button.

6.

When the Enter Page Content page appears, as shown in Figure 6.3, start by entering a title into the Page Title box.

Figure 6.3. Enter all the information you want to include on your About Me page.

7.

On the same page, you can now enter two paragraphs of information, using the supplied formatting controls or (by clicking the Enter Your Own HTML link) with HTML codes.

8.

Still on the same page, enter a URL to link to any picture you want to include on your page, as well as an optional title for the picture.

9.

In the Show Your eBay Activity section, choose how many feedback comments and current auction listings you want to display.

10.

If you want to include any links to external web pages, enter them in the Add Links section.

11.

When you're done entering all this information on the Enter Page Content page, click the Continue button.

12.

When the Preview and Submit page appears, as shown in Figure 6.4, choose a layout for your page, then click the Submit button.

Note

If you're an HTML wizard and want to code your own About Me page, select the Enter Your Own HTML Code option instead.

You'll now see a confirmation page, which includes a link to your new About Me page. Click this link to view your new page.

Tip

You can edit your About Me page at any time by repeating the preceding steps.
