| Tabberone Disclaimer |
|
We recommend a seller pay particular attention to the wording of their auction and use a disclaimer when appropriate.
As William Peceau told us, "There is a difference between light red and red light." When selling an item crafted from licensed material, auction titles are important. For example, let's say you are selling a baby bib made from licensed Disney fabric. Your action title should read something like this: Baby Bib Made From Winnie The Pooh Fabric Not something like this:Winnie The Pooh Baby Bib Home Made The first auction title is more precise and cannot be considered deceiving.
You want to include a disclaimer in the body of the auction description. It should be close to the top of the listing. It does not hurt to have it again nears your sales information. A disclaimer at the bottom of the listing could be ignored and then it would be ineffective. You want the wording of the disclaimer in the same size font as the description. We recommend something like what we call the Tabberone Disclaimer:
|
You can change the font size by changing the number after the code font size=. The disclaimer font should be at least as large as your listing font. DO NOT make the disclaimer smaller than your listing font.
If you add wording, be careful, but you can make the disclaimer box wider by increasing the table width= value. The br code is a line break. Change table bgcolor= to change the background color.
DO NOT use cutesy coloring that YOU LIKE but that is hard for others to read. You are selling an item, not a painting or work of art.
