As a former seller of womens clothing, I’m curious to read everyone’s input. I used to also do a great deal of shopping (for just about everything) but lately if I’m searching for, say a sweater in a NWT in a size 3X, located in the US, I MAY get as many as 200 sweaters. Now I know there are enough sellers on eBay that there has to be more than what was provided. As a buyer, I’m frustrated, too!

Dunno - I'm doing pretty well with my little starter store and OP is doing quite well with their rather small number of listings, also. There's only so much of *anything* that's going to sell on a site that is as overloaded as eBay.

"Folks will probably start buying more in the coming months."
May I respectfully ask what information (or crystal ball) this prediction is based on? "

It's not so much how Laststop sees it, it's a matter of good SEO. You want to write titles for SEO, not for the buyers. Without good SEO practices, the buyers won't see your listings. eBay tells us the first 4 words of the title are the most important (I believe it's 4, I don't have time to look it up right now). Again without looking it up, I believe it's s'posed to be Brand, Item (dress top pants), color & size. SEO is #1. Then again, you have way more FB than I do 😃, so you know what you're doing, but this is how eBay tells us to write titles for SEO Optimization.

@thefussymussy I think you've confused posts. I said that you were doing well and should continue as you are.
