You have 82 keystrokes absolutely FREE. Use them all. Punctuation and grammar are not important in titles. Spelling is VERY important.
(But, sometimes spelling errors can be useful. If I selling Lord of the Rings, the Title might be LORD OF THE RINGS JRR TOLKEIN tolkien LOTR first edition Note the use of upper and lower case letters which is easier to read and the deliberate use of a common misspelling of the name.
Your second best advertising is Item Specifics . Note that these are designed to be picked up by Search Engines like Google, although they are also useful to buyers.
Both of these are free.
In some categories, you can use Promoted Listings (PL).
Be careful not to sign up for the version that charges you for every click, you want the one that only charges you for an actual sale.
EBay will suggest a rate. EBay's suggestions are always good for eBay, not necessarily for the seller.
If you have a niche category (less than 50 similar items listed) you probably can do without PL entirely.
Note that if you use PL the rate will apply to your buyer's ENTIRE payment, not just to the purchase price.
Other ways to get a small boost in Search:
List daily.
Offer Free Shipping -- which means folding your shipping costs into the asking price.
Offer International Shipping-- there are over 8billion people on the planet and less than half a billion of those live in the USA.
