If you have to have background images or color, you will want to enclose your listing in a table set at 100%. Because your listing is placed in an iframe, the background image or color will only fill the iframe, not your entire screen. Your listing may also seem a little offset to the left. Again, this is because of the invisible scroll bar on the right.

<table align="center" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="background-color: #cccccc;">
  <tr>
    <td style="padding: 30px;">

<table align="center" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="background-color: #ffffff;">
  <tr>
    <td>This table is your auction code.</td>
  </tr>
</table>

    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

A padding of 30 is added to the cell that contains the actual auction. This allows for the image/color specified in the first table to show up around the listing.

This table is your auction code.
