Create a brand and logo.

The first thing you need to do once you qualify for an ebay store is to create your own brand and your own logo. These two features must reflect the description of your business. It is the identity of your business so it is important that you give emphasis to it. Make a simple and unique brand that can easily be identified by buyers.

Design and customize your store.

Ebay store allows you to easily design your store. There are a number of templates that you can choose from depending on the look and feel you want for your store. Create a layout, content and imagery and a buyer- friendly environment.

Manage your store categories.

Ebay allows you to put your products in different categories. The number of categories that you can make for your store depends on the subscription you get from ebay. The higher monthly fee you have for your store, the more categories you are allowed to create for your products. Make use of all categories that you are allowed to have. This will drive traffic to your store.

Always provide something at your markdown manager section.

Your markdown manager is where you put discounted prices. Always offer sale from time to time to get buyer’s attention and give interest to your store.

Try Use.com They got hundreds of templates. Is all free and you can post up to a 100 full size images with no size or bandwidth restriction.

Works pretty good if you want to do things on the fly without knowing any HTML. Best thing is that you can save and reuse templates later on and their templates are both eBay and craigslist compatible.

Worked for me and my images are not limited to what eBay offers plus I don't have to pay extra. Let me know what you think.
