Creating an About Me Page on eBay-(11)
May 31, 2009
The About Me page is one way to alleviate
some concerns, and to make the transaction a
little more personal . Buyers can see the page by clicking
the little colored me icon in the Seller Information box on every product-listing page.
So, here’s how to set up your About Me page.

2. On the page that appears, look for the About Me page line and click the Change link on the right.
3. On the page that appears, click the Create Your Page button.
4. You have a choice of creation methods. You can either use a simple step-by-step process, or you can, if you understand HTML, enter your own HTML code into an edit box. Select the method you want to choose, and click the Continue button.
Let’s first look at the step-by-step process. allows you to add a number of items to it:
■ A page title
■ Two text paragraphs
■ A labeled picture
■ A list of up to 100 buyer-feedback comments
■ A list of up to 200 of your product listings
■ Three links to other sites; if you have a web site, you can link to the site. (However, you may not link to a particular product page.)
5. Enter a Page Title.
6. Type your Paragraph 1 text. You can use the editing tools to select a font typeface, size, and color, and format the text with bold, italics, or underline. The buttons also allow you to change paragraph settings, make the text left-justified, centered, or right-justified, create a numbered or bulleted list, and indent the text.

13. If you wish, you may add up to three links to your page. For each, provide a Name and the URL (Web Address) to point to. The Name is the actual link text that people can click. Remember, don’t use these links to promote products for sale on other sites.
