Do you want more room for key words???

I thought I would share this information for those who have not noticed or heard about it yet. Ebay has made some changes (for the better) for key word searches.

The searches for decades of all types - 50's 50s 1950's 1950s are all cross-searchable. In other words if a buyer puts in a search for "1950's dress" - your listing with "50s dress" will come up. It works for all the decades.

I also just found out that you can put "vtg" in your title instead of vintage and the listing will come up when a buyer puts "vintage" in their search. This in itself saves you 4 letters to use for another key word.

I just changed one of my listings from vintage to vtg. I tested the search by using vintage as the key word and my listing came up.

sounds really good! Do you think this will apply to the UK?

If you want TRUE proof that this works, go into your own eBay store or if you do not have a store, go to your "items for sale" page.

Search "vtg" and wah-la!! It works!

I stopped using the apostrophe for year listings a few months ago. There was never a need to put "1950's" but I put "50's" and now I just put 50s.

Unless it's 40s, of course.

It works!

Thanks for those tips, Carrie...I wish ebay would just be kind and give us 10 more characters in the title!

FINALLY! After all the dumb changes and 'improvements' they have made over the years, finaly they get around to this one which should have been SO simple to implement. I have been hoping they would do this since 1999!
