eBay listing titles and item specifics that help buyers find you

On eBay, title and item specifics do most of the work of helping the right buyer find the right item.

Write for the buyer

Include brand, product type, model or key attribute, size or colour where it matters. Keep the order logical and avoid filler words or claims you cannot support.

Rules, fees and programs change. Treat this as a planning guide and confirm current details in the marketplace's own seller help pages before you act.

Item specifics

Fill in every relevant item specific accurately. They drive filters, and missing details can leave your item out of searches that use them.

Photos and description

  • Photograph the actual item you are selling.
  • Show flaws if it is used.
  • Describe condition honestly.
  • State what is included.

A review routine

  1. Search for your own item as a buyer would.
  2. Check how top results are titled.
  3. Update titles that do not match real search wording.
  4. Recheck after a few weeks.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use all the characters allowed?

Use the space only if the extra words are useful. Clear beats crowded.

Can I copy another seller’s title?

Learn from them, but write your own and make sure it describes your item accurately.
