I hope that this is the right forum for my problem.
I am using Dreamweaver 8 and Win XP to make a page to place on eBay - the completed page looks just as I want it when previewed thru' Dreamweaver in IE 6 (F12) however, when pasted into eBay, the background color disappears and there are holes everywhere - I am frustrated because I cannot see the error - can anyone advise me, please?

<p class="style3">This pair of very elegant vintage dark brown croc leather shoes is a real classic beauty!<br />
I paid a small fortune for them, but sadly they are too small for me. My loss is your gain!</p>
<p class="style3">These shoes are marked “Concerto” by “FLORSHEIM” 5B, probably made around the 50’s or 60’s when Florsheim produced ladies’shoes. The lady who sold them to me said they are real crocodile leather, and were used for store display purposes and probably never worn. She had them “mink-oiled” before sending to me. </p>
<p class="style3">The uppers have a rectangular piece of tortoise shell effect/ bakelite measuring 5.75cm x 3.75cm fastened on the top of each shoe, and are ¾ lined inside. The edges are finished off by what appears to be grosgrain fabric piping (commonly used for trimming real croc leather shoes). I can see some very faint scuffing on the soles, most likely due to ladies trying on the shoes rather than through light wearing and also light marks where the original stickers were removed.</p>
<p class="style3">Please check these measurements to be sure and see the photos.<br />
They are marked as 5B in size (I assume this would be US sizing)<br />
LENGTH: Inside from toe to heel 24cm (following contour) but please remember the shoes do taper and your toes do not reach all the way to the tip.<br />
WIDTH: Inside at widest part is approximately 6.5cm <br />
HEIGHT: Heel is 5cm <br />
