How
professional
a
seller
are
you?
Do
you
check
your
listings
before
submitting
them
or
even
does
someone
else
proof
read
them
for
you?
With
millions
of
listings
on
eBays
networks
of
sites
at
any
one
time,
a
small
proportion
of
these
listings
contain
errors
-
&
a
misspelt
word
is
about
the
biggest
error
you
can
make.
Imagine
your
selling
a
Sony
Television
for
example.
What
if
you
misspell
the
item
as
Sony
Televisoin.
Anyone
who
searches
for
the
term
"Sony
Television"
simply
isn't
going
to
be
presented
with
your
item.
Only
those
eBayers
who
search
manually
though
the
category
will
find
your
items.
Needless
to
say
that
if
people
can't
find
your
item,
they're
unable
to
bid
on
them.
FatFingers
is
a
service
you
can
use
to
find
all
misspelt
variations
of
a
term.
Why
would
you
need
such
a
service?
Well
obviously
if
an
item
has
low
visibility
on
eBay
it's
also
likely
to
have
zero
or
few
bids
enabling
you
to
snap
yourself
up
a
bargain.
I've
known
people
use
this
service
to
make
a
full
time
living,
purely
buying
items
cheaply
and
relisting
them
without
errors.

eBay
Pulse
Back
to
the
search
facility
eBay
pulse
shows
you
the
top
10
searched
keywords
in
every
category.
It's
a
real
gem
of
a
service,
obviously
by
looking
at
the
most
widely
used
search
terms
you
can
see
what
eBayers
are
after.
And
if
your
selling
in
this
category,
by
inserting
some
of
these
keywords
within
your
title
your
items
will
be
seen
by
more
users.
The
only
thing
to
watch
out
with
this
service
is
make
sure
the
keywords
are
relevant
to
your
item,
IF
NOT
DON'T
USE
THEM.
How
many
times
have
you
saw
listings
such
as
"SONY
PANASONIC
LG
WIDESCREEN
DIGITAL
TELEVISION
GUIDE",
-
listings
such
as
these
are
well
thought
out
to
earn
high
visibility
from
the
way
users
search.
Anyone
searching
for
the
items
with
any
of
the
keywords
will
uncover
your
listings.
While
it
may
lead
to
a
high
number
of
views,
firstly
fellow
users
will
get
annoyed
if
they
find
your
item
completely
unrevealed
to
what
they
searched
for,
Secondly
keyword
spamming
as
it
is
known,
is
against
eBay
policy
and
will
lead
to
your
item
being
pulled.
I
use
pulse
daily
with
all
my
listings
but
make
sure
it's
relevant
to
your
item
first.

Keyword-Pro
Keyword-Pro
is
a
commercial
subscription
service
which
is
similar
to
eBay
pulse.
However,
the
main
difference
is
Keyword-Pro
offers
a
much
more
in
depth
list
of
relevant
keywords.
It
lists
the
top
50
keywords
for
every
category
for
both
eBay.co.uk
&
eBay.com.
This
is
a
great
addition,
especially
if
any
of
the
terms
found
in
eBay
pulse
are
not
relevant
to
your
item.
Keyword-Pro
is
available
as
both
a
web
service
or
as
a
small
program
that
downloads
the
list
onto
your
P.C.
It's
data
is
updated
weekly
to
keep
you
informed
of
the
latest
search
terms.

Selling
Manager
When
you
first
open
a
selling
account
on
eBay,
options
listed
under
the
sell
tab
of
eBay
are
enough
to
get
you
by.
However,
you
can
upgrade
to
a
more
in
depth
service
known
as
Selling
Manager.
As
eBay
describes
the
service
"eBay
Selling
Manager
is
our
online
sales
management
tool

medium
to
high
volume
sellers".
It
allows
you
to
track
every
eBay
sale,
customise
your
feedback
comments,
print
shipping
labels
&
much
more.
It
saves
me
about
four
hours
a
week
tracking
orders
and
watching
my
sales.
Selling
Manager
is
FREE
on
eBay.co.uk
&
has
a
small
monthly
charge
of
on
eBay.com
(after
one
a
month
trial
free).
Once
I
moved
over
to
Selling
Manager,
there's
simply
no
way
I
would
go
back.
