Postcard Letter Document Sellers: Please Add Surnames & Place Names mentioned in your items in Title

[alibaba40she]

To the sellers of postcards, letters, documents or anything else that is pertinent,

Please add in your titles whatever surnames and place names that are mentioned in your items. There are a gazillion (yes, an accurate number) of people interested in genealogy who have saved searches of surnames and place names. Your items are probably being missed by these (read me and the gazillion minus one other) hunter buyers.

Thanks!

Just want to confirm that you're including the titles AND descriptions in your search for keywords. If you search titles only, you could be missing exactly what you're looking for.

An eBay title has very very limited space - 80 characters I think. And there are many competing interests when it comes to those items. 

Stamp collectors, postmark collectors, precancel collectors and postcard collectors all want to know different details.

Some want to know the date, or the stamp, or the postmark, or the precancel, or the town, or the subject matter,  or whether it is a photograph or not. 

You cannot please everyone.
