What is your Favorite "Teaser Word" you use in your title?
 

What are your Favorite "Teaser Words" you use in your titles that seem to work best for your listings?

The two that seem to work Best for me are SUPERB and MINT.

I use many others but would like to see the suggestions you use which have had the best success.

Authentic, Stunning & w/receipt

**BRAND NEW**, **FREE GIFT** etc :)

NIB, NEW, L@@K, RARE, NR!@

Those are some I use. Rare can only work for certain items. But its a good one :cool:

Well my sales have definitely slowed since the Best Match Search and the New My eBay Page came out.

Maybe some different teaser words might help?

Anybody have any more good ones? :D

ive noticed the subtitle is your best friend in this Best Match game...
i just write what the people want to see in the subtitle, "best deal on ebay" seems to always attract people to take a look at my auctions

Any one of these characters work for me depending on what i'm selling - they appear in BOLD and there are several other characters that can be used - I dont think ebay likes this but it works for me and i have seen others using just one but i use a variety. I think the only way ebay will investigate is if a member reports your title as being "illegally flashy"

L@@K!
 

L@@K!

THATS SO OLD SCHOOL EBAY . . . BUT I USED IN IN AN AUCTION A COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK AND IT STILL WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!!

I REMEMBER WHEN EVERYBODY USED TO USE THAT ONE . . . .




eBanza.com NO LISTING FEES!!!! NO EVIL!!!!

Like Paris Hilton says "that's HOT" :p

Say WHAT?!?


My secret weapon is *NIB/NR*
It seems to work just peachy.

Anyone know where to find more of these characters?

Imjustme, Here's a few more.


Alt Codes - Keyboard Alt Symbol Codes - Alt Characters

OK, here's where you can get a ton of them already on your computer.

Click to Start button on the very lower left on your computer...its the place where you go to access your programs.

Where the search function is...type charmap

Then just click on charmap and that will bring up Character Map. Just play around with different fonts for all kinds of different characters.

Thanks! :D

L@@K, NWT, RARE, and GIN/BIN a while back.

I usually use FETISH, or **BRAND NEW**

I used to use ***Used Underwear!!!*** but they dont allow that now.

After reading the ebay and other auction site forums, not many people believe the word "Authentic" anymore.

Wonder why....... :D

But speaking of receipts, anyone know how to obtain them without buying the exact product?

I believe it's "New In Box/No Receipt", if I'm not mistaken.

^^^ NR is "No Reserve"

Usually meaning a auction with "No Reserve", but most people use it now to just grab some attention towards their title/listing.

Thank you TheyGotMeToo.

Forgot about that one.

:doh:

I'm no expert, but I put this in the subtitles of an auction I put up yesterday.

BRAND NEW! / FREE SHIPPING! / NO RESERVE!

23 hours later I've got 15 watchers, 11 bids, 4 more days to go and it's already at %60 of what I want the final price to be.

BRAND NEW FACTORY SEALED seems to work pretty well depending on what you're selling of course, might not work as well with ping-pong balls.

Hi. This is my list..
NEW

NIB

FREE gift

Bonus

Wow!

****

Something I have been seeing lately that I have never seen before, is people using...

LKN

I guess that is supposed to be Like New?

"illegally flashy" LOL that cracks me up...

One I've used "VINTAGE" = old stuff

L@@K - never used it but used it in a search....unreal

Shabby Chic - never used it but people search for it using just those words

I can't remember the exact terms I used in a listing but during the listing process I was told I couldn't say "LIKE NEW" but I could say something else that was so stupid that I just copied and pasted the text of what they said I could say and used it in the title. I'll post it when I find it because it was so ridiculous.

POTPOURRI = French for dead stinky leaves

I couldn't say "LIKE NEW" in the title but I could say "SLIGHTLY USED"....

BNWT, RARE, AUTHENTIC for me but will be trying some of the others on here now

**SEX**
**PORN**

They would have worked in the Adult category lol not too sure about other categories like Animals and Dolls...hmmm maybe ;)

**CLICK HERE** - lol would eBay let this one, makes you want to click doesn't it! :)

LMAO at 'L@@K', didn't every listing used to contain this on the old eBay?!

The overuse of the word "RARE" kills me especially when it turns up with the 100 or so other items just like it.

This list works fine!
Brand New
Free Shipping
Free Gift
Authentic

For me it depends on the Product that i am listing..

So for instance in a listing for snap back hats i would write "DOPE"

it depends on niche i am targeting to

Authentic , Genuine or BNIB they are always work no matter what you are selling.

Instead of slightly, you could use "gently used"

I use IMMACULATE pertaining to disks and software if it's true

I always use in Mint condition and Barely Used
