L@@k at how you compose your eBay auction title

OK, I just wanted a reason to say "don't get cute". It reminds me of a tough guy movie and me, being a guy, like those kinds of movies. Now let's get some of the basic eBay stuff out of the way. Back in the day when eBay first came around it was kind of cute to put stuff like L@@K in your eBay title to try to attract some @@s... uh, I mean eyes to your auction. It still kind of cute, but it's not something that will help your item get found on eBay. Just for fun (uh... my life must be really boring) I did a search for L@@K on eBay and here is what I found.

I don't know about you, but when I am searching for something on eBay or online for that matter, I never use L@@K in my search. Something else that you not do is use other modifiers like CUTE, WOW or NICE, in your title just to name a few. The point, if you haven't gotten it yet, is that buyers never go on eBay to search for something by typing in, "L@@k vintage Mickey Mouse watch WOW," but they would do an eBay search for, "red vintage Mickey Mouse watch new with tags." Get the point? eBay suggest that you NEVER use modifiers, but I have to disagree... a little. When I am creating a title for a listing, and have used every search word that I can possibly think of (I try to use all 55 characters), if I still have three or four spaces left, I will throw in a modifier, so that I use all my available title letters. Think of your 55 characters as eBay real estate; you want to use them all, because eBay is charging you for them anyway. When in doubt, think about this quote, "Just the facts ma'am", or sir. What are the facts? For people searching on eBay the facts are things like, make, model, color, size, desirable features and so on
