How To Write eBay Titles

The purpose of writing good titles for your eBay auctions is to help potential buyers find your auctions. The majority of buyers only search by title, which means that you have 55 characters to cover all the possible search terms. It's not that easy. This article will provide some tips.

Don't use titles like "Super rare camera look low price" or "L@@k, rare video game". No one searches for these terms and it is a waste of space. Instead, try to think like a buyer. If you were looking for your items, what terms would you use?

You can also copy other sellers who are selling the same or similar items. Look at their auction titles and see what you can use. if it works for them, it will probably work for you. Also, go to eBay Pulse and look at the top ten search terms for your category. Use these search terms in your title if you can.

Be as specific as you can in your title. Incluse the items' brand name as well as model number since some people only search using those terms. Be sure you include exactly what your item is.
