The **Templates** tab of an eBay store's settings is where you choose the design of your listings' description, for one region and supplier.

It opens from **eBay Stores** > **Edit** > region > supplier > **Templates** ([eBay Stores](https://docs.droopify.co/en/ebay-account)). Each region and supplier has its own templates.

## Choosing the template

1. In the **Templates** tab click the template you want to use, or **No template** to use none.
2. Click **Save Changes**.

The chosen template is applied to the drafts and monitored listings of that region and supplier; it may take some time before all listings on eBay are updated. For new drafts the template is used as the description if **Use template for description** is on in **General** ([General store settings](https://docs.droopify.co/en/ebay-store-general-settings)).

To apply the current template again to all listings, for example after editing it, tick **Apply the template to all listings** and click **Save Changes**.

## Creating a template

Click **New template** in the list to create a template from a library design or from your own HTML code. The procedure is in [Create a template](https://docs.droopify.co/en/create-template). The new template appears in the list but is not in use yet: choose it and save as described above.

## Editing a template

Click the edit icon on the template: the template editor opens in a new browser tab. After you save it, Droopify automatically updates the drafts and listings that use it: it may take some time before all listings on eBay are updated. The update shows in the [Operations History](https://docs.droopify.co/en/operations-history) as "Template and policies update".

## Deleting a template

Click the delete icon on the template: **Confirm template deletion** opens. The template in use can't be deleted: choose another one and save first. The procedure is in [Delete a template](https://docs.droopify.co/en/delete-template).
