Write a great title

Okay. You've got your ebay photos perfected, now you have to make sure you write a great item description.
Start with your title. This will pull your potential buyer in to click on your item to find out more about it.
Don't just write what the item is, SELL it. Is the item old or rare? Is it in great condition. Is the item in it's original box or packaging? Does your item have a model number?
Example. You want to sell your Nokia E66. Which looks better?

1- Nokia phone OR
2- Nokia E66, BOXED with EXTRAS. GREAT condition.

You could also write a sub heading such as -'FREE DELIVERY!!'

Have a search on ebay for something that you're interested in buying. Have a look at the titles and see which ones catch your eye and which ones don't. Have a look at the difference between them and see what tips you can learn from the good ones.
Some will be written all in lower case, some in all upper case. I've always preferred a mix of the two, upper case for words that matter, your keywords, like 'boxed' and 'extras' above. Having a mix of the two just helps draw the eye to the title a little better.
Happy title writing
Dave
