What do you search for on eBay?

Ebay question-need help with what keywords are popular to search for?

• I posted this in Fashion but I thought sum1 could help me here. TIA Your Question Ebay questions-Need opinions of keywords to get ppl to search for clothing that is not all name brands like? I sold on Ebay a lot in 2007. Nothing major but shoes, clothes and jewelry. I haven;t used it in a couple years so I'm not really sure what words to use in my title. Some of the items are Juicy Couture and coach, some just forever21 or bebe but then I have a ton from boutiques whose name brands aren't ever searched for. I describe myself as a "trend whore". I'll admit it. I'm 26, work in the fashion industry and got my bachelors in fashion. Point being (lol) I have cute clothes , many are ones that have been seen on celebs, bright colors and funk patterns. With that said could you guys help me with good keywords? For instance, I have a never worn pair of yellow patent leather , peep toe pumps? Umm what do I say for that? Also should I post in juniors. I think I'm going to bc some r kike clubwear and stuff that appeals to 16-32 yr olds. Please help! Adding-Has anybody had luck with selling middle price range clothes, shoes and accesories on Craigslist? I like that its free and migth give it a shot. Maybe more so with my house decor that I'm changing. Or amazon?

• Answer:

  Hi Kt the problem with keywords is that unless people know the brands that you have they will never type them in - as you have already recognised. I sell a lot on Ebay and would suggest that you use hook words such as boho, chic, hippy, trendy, designer etc within the title of your listings. Alternatively open a shop on Google if you have a constant supply of stuff to sell, this way you will get more acreditation and a higher presence within Ebay and will ultimately get out to more buyers. Hope that helps. Katie
