Yeah, I just wasn't sure if had a specific pattern. Listing it as tweed, do you think adding plaid or check adds to it's visibility? Do guys search for tweed jacket or do they search for plaid tweed jacket...this is always my conundrum when listing stuff...will that extra word end up getting me that buyer who wants my item.
definitely won't hurt. I'm pretty specific in my searches when shopping.

I'd do, Tweed Bold Glen Plaid Check...maybe even FU.

Always use all the space allotted for your titles if possible. No extra charge for more words. If you don't see a lot of interest in the first few days, it doesn't hurt to experiment with some different words to. As long as there are no bids, you can change the title.

What about EUC...I see quite a few of you guys put that down as well...do people really put that in a search term? Putting that in search terms seems to get you about 10-20% of the results overall. Not sure I understand the logic at that point, as top sellers you would get close to near the top of the searches anyways? Just curious as to the thought process I guess.

I use it as a filler if I have 3 or 4 characters remaining and can't think of another key word.

Can you put "Check out "xyz" website for more info" ? It's not a redirect, right?

As you can see, most use that (and other words) as leftovers on their titles. No one will actually search for these things, but they draw attention. Furthermore, when people begin to recognize your titles and pictures, they will further reinforce the branding/marketing.

Saw that and nearly offered you a lowball on it. I recognized the photos though and didn't want to embarrass myself. Cool jacket!

Not sure about ebay.com, but my terms say something about that as well. I can't remember if it's only links (which are definitely not allowed) or also text. I'd assume you'd get away with it if it was text, but you never know.

It's the same with information within ebay messages...all information is redacted and if Germans and Austrians want to make a deal outside of ebay, they're normally careful with how they interact by spelling things. The Italians? No, they're clear that they'd like the discount for doing business outside of ebay.

Hey

I shipped an item to someone in CA but since 12/22 its been stuck and now cleared from customs. Is there anything I or the buyer have to do?

Not sure why it's taken so damn long to get there (been 3 weeks)
