Does EBAY SCAN DESCRIPTIONS AND ITEM SPECIFICS FOR SEARCH? I THINK IT ONLY SCANS TITLES SO THE REST IS PRETTY USELESS?

That is not how people search. They don;t search by entire title. That is the problem here with Ebay after october update. Even after you report it to them they do nothing 0 to fix .


It's why I used partial titles - what would I put for search query if I were looking for a certain part?  I do this all the time with bike parts if I have some to sell and notice where they come up in different searches.

 

I rarely see eBay results in Google when I search BTW. *

 

ETA:  *I've noticed this for a while and am not happy about it - tons of other sites, but not that often eBay. I wonder if you get this visibility with the PLA but I haven't explored it because I have no intention of using it - it's not a good fit for me, besides which I had experience with it on Etsy and found it to be an expensive failure, at least for what I had.
