      Add HTML to your description using Advanced Listing Templates

      Learn how to use Listing Templates to add HTML descriptions to your listings in Listing Mirror

      Listing Templates offer a way to enhance your descriptions. We use Jinja2 for our listing templates. All syntax is allowed in Jinja2, such as loops or filters.

      Listing templates are currently only available for eBay.

      Create an Advanced Listing Template for your descriptions

      1. From the menu bar, click Listings, followed by a supported marketplace.
      2. Click the Actions dropdown, followed by Edit Listing Template.
      3. Click Create New Template.
      4. Click Advanced and input your code.

      Use your own Advanced Listing Template

      Advanced Listing Templates require an understanding of HTML and Jinja2.

      • description: A string representing the text on the product.
      • title: A string representing the text on the product.
      • bullets: An array of strings representing 0 to 7 bullet points found on the product.
      • images: An array of dicts representing the url to the images for the parent listing.
        1. full: URL to the full size image in jpg format. This may be up to 10 MB in size, so it should not be directly used in a template, but could be linked in a zoom view.
        2. big_thumb: URL to a 350x350 pixel image in jpg format.
        3. little_thumb - URL to a 150x150 pixel image in jpg format.
