AD - A few of my creations up for sale.

Gemfyre, I know you didn't ask for it, but I'm hoping you'll take this is intended...a helpful hint from someone who's been there :) I had a look at your auctions, and I noticed that you are doing what I did when I first started listing on eBay...your auction titles are written as creative names, rather than factual descriptions. I did this too, and couldn't figure out why I got almost no views for my auctions!

When a person searches on ebay, they have to use key words, and most "creative" description don't have the right keywords for the item listed. For example(made up):

"Stunning Starlight Bracelet" won't get nearly the amount of hits that "Diamond and Sapphire 14k 7inch Bracelet" will, simply because of the keyword factor. I actually went back thru 15 of my listings once, and changed the titles to fact, and kept the creative descriptions to the item page. There are all kinds of helpful hints for eBay sites, and I'm sure I've seen at least one on Sooz's Links page.

I hope this helps with your auctions :)

yeah eBay is being crap. Try refreshing a few times.

Gemfyre

Thanks for the advice. :) I've seen lots of people do titles like that and followed suit but yeah, I can see why they aren't as good.

It's just figuring out how to be descriptive enough in the few words allowed in the title.

It can be frustrating, I know! But worth it, in the end ;)
