"New to About Me? Be creative and create an About Me page. It's a page to express your creative side and your interests. You don't have to know any HTML or anything fancy."
If you see the word "Me" next to someone's handle and feedback points, just click on it and you'll be brought to their "Me" Page.
Steps in Creating a "Me" Page:
a) First, figure out what you are going to say. (Be sure and read Elise's story above.) And if you want to include a photo, load it to the Web and have the URL handy to enter into the "Me" Page form.>
b) Go to http://members.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?AboutMeLogin.
c) Type in your user name and password. Click on "Create and Edit Your Page."
d) Choose a layout (2 column, newspaper or centered).
e) Now comes the part where you have to be creative - fill in the items as prompted.
f) Preview your page - proofread carefully.
g) When it is perfect, save it!
Once you've created your own "Me" Page you can go back and edit it later in HTML.
