Hey all.

Complete halfwit alert but for some reason an eBay listing I have just created will not let me sit the description in the way I want it.
When writing the description in the text box it is as follows (example)

This auction is for a Locost.

It is fast.

Isn't it a lovely colour?

Wouldn't you like to buy it?


When I preview the listing and / or make it active the description now looks like this...

This auction is for a Locost. It is fast. Isn't it a lovely colour. Wouldn't you like to buy it?

Of course on a few hundred word description this looks utter shite and like I didn't study English in school. Does anyone know what I have cocked up? Thanks.

I think you may well have typed your item description in the HTML editor, instead of the normal straight forward bit maybe?

if you want to put a single line break in your text
like this, just insert <br>

or if you want to put a paragraph break (double linespace)

like this, type <P>

see if that helps?

Someone give that man a mince pie and a glass of sherry! Thanks mate, I appreciate it!!

Ah thank you

just wondering, are you going to post the link to the auction when it's up? I'd like to see the car in question

It's not a car mate, was just using that as an example.
