Use Item Title/Description Effectively

In selling item on eBay, describe it as best as you can in Item TITLE. Don’t waste space with unnecessary words or adjectives like "Nice", "Wow", "Great", "Gorgeous" because most buyers don't search for these words.

You may include item's BRAND, DESIGNER, ARTIST and make sure you spelled it correctly. To make it more descriptive you can put the COLOR, STYLE, SIZE, or FEATURE of the item. Most buyers when they are shopping online search for an item according to the brand, or feature. Example of an item is a DVD karaoke player, "Karavision Multi - DVD Karaoke, 10k songs" , here there's a brand, the appliance and its feature.

And don't ever try to put a title like this "Karavision Multi-DVD Better Than Magic Mic" , if you don't want you item to get unlisted.

Writing a great description

Writing a thorough description can really pay off in the price you receive for your item.

Here are some questions you may want to consider when writing your item description:

• What is the item?

• What material is it made of?

• When was it made?

• What company/artist/designer/author made it?

• What condition is it in?

• Is the item new, used, or still under warranty? Be sure to mention any flaws or repairs.

• What are its dimensions?

• What country/location is it from?

• Does it have any notable features or markings?

• Does it have a special background or history?

Additionally, many sellers have found that adding a creative, human approach to their descriptions boosts bids and sales.

Consider including:

• What you especially like about the item

• Who you think it would appeal to and why

• An interesting story about the item (for example, how you acquired it)

• How the item might be used

• Postage and Payment: Be clear about payment methods you accept. Also, be as specific as you can about your postage costs.

• When you are finished, spell check your description for accuracy.

Do not include:

• Anything that is not true.

• Keywords that are unrelated to your item to try to lure buyers searching for these words. (For example, do not say, "If you like Ralph Lauren, you'll like these towels.") This is known as "keyword spamming" and it is against eBay's listing policies.
