About Me Pages

What is an About Me page?

Creating an About Me page at eBay is your chance to tell the world about yourself and your interests. More than that, however, it is also where you can tell your prospective buyers about the items that you sell, what your policies are on returns, how much postage you charge and any other information your customers might want to know about you or your business.

What can I use my About Me page for?

• Let the eBay community know who you are.
• Tell them more about your items such as why they are unique, why you price them as you do, what other types of items you sell.
• Display your items together in one convenient location.
• If you have standard postage terms you can outline them here.
• If you offer a returns policy or warranty you can also outline them in your About Me page.
• Use the URL of your About Me page to drive more people to your listings.

How does an About Me page work?

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3—no technical skills required! Just:

• Choose a layout.
• Add your information.
• Preview and save your page.

It's that easy. When you're finished, eBay will show you the Web site address (URL) to share with your friends. It's typically http://members.ebay.com.au/aboutme/YOUR USER ID.

How do other people find my About Me page?

Other members will see the icon next to your User ID. They can click on the icon to view your page and learn more about who you are.

Tip: You can edit your About Me page after you create it, but you'll need to use HTML. If you know HTML you can design your About Me page exactly as you like. However, if you don't want to use HTML, you can always create a new About Me page quickly and easily by using one of eBay's handy templates..
