Thread: Character Allowance

  1. #1

    Default Character Allowance

    Please, guys, could we have a greater character allowance for listing titles?

    I am really struggling to include sufficient detail and key words.

    Thank you.

    Agreed...more character allowance would be great! However, this subject was brought up some time ago and we're still at 55 characters limit. I'm curious to know how many title characters other selling sites offer so we could make a comparison of sorts...just curious...

    I asked for this ages ago - as I suspect had others previously - but it wasn't forthcoming.

    Feebay also allow 55 which I guess eBid took as its benchmark.

    I seem to remember reading that Google Products have a cap of 70 characters, that would be ideal

    if it is 70, would that have to include the isbn (for example) that eBid upload with items

    I can't remember where I read the original info, so I don't know where to check.

    I don't think it does as they come under attributes,
    if you put in a barcode & a brand name as well as using up all
    your title character allowance, you'd be well over the 70 character limit.

    The longer the title the less impact it will have on someone browsing. The reverse of that is the more keywords you can include the more likely it is to be picked up by searches. I hate to go against the tide but I find 55 characters quite sufficient.

    It would be useful to have more..............you don't HAVE to use the additional characters if you don't want to, so it would be win-win to have more!! thanks!
    Ta-Ta for now!
