I Changed My Mind!

This is a "Heads Up" notice for all my former eBay students....


Previously I always told you how I like to make my titles in Capital letters--I told you it was just my personal preference, and you could do it any way you like. 


But now I have found that if you use all caps your items will not show up in the Google products search for fixed price. Google disallows all listings that do not use standard capitalization.

So now, I'm going through my listings, changing titles that need to be upgraded.  And now that we're allowed the 88 spaces, I can add to some of them, too. 

Use All 55 Spaces

The first thing potential buyers see is your listing’s title. That title is soooo important to get them to click into the listing itself.  If your title is bad, you’ll get fewer viewers, which translates into fewer bidders. But a great title will pull more shoppers into your listing and increase the number of bids. Most buyers find items by searching, so you want to include all the important words in your title. 

The key is to think like the buyers—use the words they are likely to use.  Include the name of the item and any common terms your buyer might be using to look.  Use the model number, use the year it was made, list the color & size, and include whatever terms you might use to describe your item. The more search words you can include the better.

eBay gives you 55 spaces to use to make a title for your listing—use as much of this space as you can!
