| What surprises me is that there are millions of ebayers | | | | Write a list of common words, but don't include the, |
| out there who don't even know this free tool exists let | | | | and, of, at etc. |
| alone use it! | | | | As a quick example say I was selling an ebook and |
| Ok, so lets get down to the juicy part, my favourite | | | | my initial title was "Growing Bonsai Ebook" |
| ebay tool has to be the advanced search function. | | | | I do an advanced search on ebay, using bonsai, |
| I NEVER list an item on ebay without first using the | | | | completed listings only. |
| advanced search function. | | | | I can see the following relevant words in sold items title |
