Carebear alliance recruitment officers scout kindergarten playgrounds in search of a new fleet commander to lead their new pvp corp and protect their mining barges from being raped by gangs of aliens flying Minmatar T1 cruisers.
They choose Ender mostly for his awesome nickname, abduct him and make him camp gates in disorganized fleets 24/7. Ender gets podded a million times but also gets on some killmails.
Everyone constantly raging at him for being a noob makes him want to die less and kill MOAR so he starts logging into the test server and practices so he can get better at practicing. He gets better . His corp becomes HIS corp and also the best pvp corp in the game.
As a reward he receives a 2000000 inch monitor and gets to command his exercise fleet while docked in station. As a final rehearsal for the final battle Ender leads a one week long roam on the test server and manages not to lose too many ships. Just before everyone on TS passes out from sleep deprivation and alcohol poisoning the fleet makes it into the alien home system and DOOMSDAYS their main planet and therefore wins the WAR because the aliens cannot make nanite repair paste anymore.
Just as he logs off and the client restarts Ender realises he’s been on Tranquility this whole time OMGWTF this was the real final battle and he fought it thinking it’s not real. Also due to a diplo fuck-up the aliens had no idea they have been RESET and thought they are still BLUE so instead of a HERO Ender is now considered a blue-killer XENOCIDE.
Ender the Xenocide RAGE QUITS his corp and roams the galaxy in a triple stabbed nullified Loki with the pod of the alien CEO in the cargo in search of a planet that has all 12 raw resources needed for the production of nanite repair paste plus a NPC station with assembly lines so the aliens can make ISKies and buy PLEXes so they can play the GAME.
THE END
P.S. The enemy gate is DOWN;)
TL;DR
In the code below replace ‘http://www.path.to/yourbigimage…’ with the path to your big images and replace ‘http://www.pathtoyoursmallimage.in…’ with the path to your thumbnail images. Paste in the HTML section on the Create Your Listing page, DONE. For more info and an example read expanded bellow…
<div> <script type="text/javascript">
function imageSwap (image) {
document.getElementById('bigimage').innerHTML='<img src="' + image + '.jpg"/>';
}
</script>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
<!--
#bigimage {text-align: center;}
#thumbs {text-align: center;}
</style>
<image src="http://www.path.to/oneofyourbigimagesindoubleinvertedcommas.jpg" width="1" height="1" border="0">
<div id = "thumbs"><a href="#" onmouseover="imageSwap('http://www.path.to/yourbigimageinsingleinvertedcommasWITHOUT.JPEGEXTENSION')"> <img class="thumbs" src="http://www.pathtoyoursmallimage.in/doubleinvertedcommas.jpg"></a></div>

NOTE: I’m only writing this up because i took me such a long time to solve – in the hopes that it can save someone else time
Ebay wouldn’t let you load jQuery in listing decription which renders all the super cool transition galleries / slideshows / thumbnail viewers unusable so it has to be dead simple.
You can take out the ‘style’ section completely and it will still work – i only added it to center the main picture and have the thumbnails lined nicely on top of it. Please note you don’t need a <head>, <html> or anything extra – remember you are basically writing a <div> in an ebay page.
If you want to specify a background to make it look prettier you can do so by enclosing the whole thing in a <div> and specifying background-image: url('http://path.to/whatever.jpg') – i had to also set height:1500px to prevent stuff from coming out of the background (no idea why that was happening) like this:
<div style="background-image: url('http://path.to/whatever.jpg'); background-repeat:repeat; height: 1500px;">
Here’s what it does:
PS: To prevent everything jerking around on the page on mouse over preload the big images (code above updated)
