We tried to import our eBay listings, but the styling is all whacked out. All of our product pages are first created for our website. As such, they are styled with CSS, and all of the images are inline with the text. All we have to do in order to convert them to eBay listings is to search/replace the relative paths, so for example, “../../pic” becomes “[URL removed]”. Then, we just add a single image for the gallery.

It is easy enough to load CSS stylesheets via SixBit (which is a third-party management software for eBay), so the product pages look essentially the same on eBay that they do on our website.

The problem is that when I imported our eBay listings to Bonanza, portions of the CSS styling got lost. For example, the import throws away the white page backgrounds, so we wind up with black text on a brown background. It’s not good.

So then I tried to create a new listing, using the same HTML that we use for eBay, but that turned out even worse, because then Bonanza doesn’t seem to load the CSS at all. It looks fine in the editor, but the actual product page degrades to what it would look like with no styling applied. So it is readable, but not at all aesthetically pleasing.

Obviously we cannot possibly afford to manually re-create ~1000 listings for the sole benefit of Bonanza. Practically speaking, in order to maintain a presence in multiple venues, we must be able to reuse the same HTML in all venues.

Is there some trick to getting CSS to load and display?

Thanks for any help!
