I'm having a bit of trouble getting my eBay listings to size properly across platforms. I've got a fairly basic HTML table based listings, for example with text in a left column, opposite a picture in the right for example, but on an iphone, all the text gets squished and the picture is in the middle of the page rather than on the right, squishing the text even further.
Also my tables with borders aren't 100% width as defined in the table properties when viewed on a mobile.
I've had a go with some CSS after looking at w3schools and seeing some of the HTML I needed was 'Deprecated', but then I read somewhere that CSS isn't really ideal for table based stuff, so I'm a bit confused in which direction to go with it now.
Anyone on here able to give me some tips? A good HTML/CSS template for eBay would be a nice start, perhaps with formatting that works well with PC, tablet and mobile. Or perhaps some code that has seperate sections for a mobile device and a PC.

Tables are find to use for tabular data, but css is definitely the way if you want it to cunningly change depending on platform.
