    eBid is a British company based in the UK and use British grammar such as jewellery and colour and neighbour etc. which is correct.

    Of course, peeps in the USA will always beg to differ, but I'm clever and keep my mouth shut beings I'm originally from the UK and living in the USA and learning my history that Americans came from Europe, mainly UK and Ireland in the first place. And I learned to write the American way to please them. But the UK was there first

    Yes but the American spelling of words is the more correct real English. Many of our current spellings are derived from the French following the Norman conquest of England.

    Many academic publications in the UK still use -ize over -ise.

    I have some jewelry listed

    I can't see a reason to waste title space on the word jewelry

    I would hope buyers are looking for something a bit more specific

    The catagory spelling shouldn't matter

    The misspelling 'jewellery' should be considered humor
    My clutter

    I don't play the reserve game

    Obvious keywords can be useful for google searches. That's why I always put "book" into book listing titles if there's spare space after the essentials go in.
