    [QUOTE=kreativebargains;1645419]Welcome to eBid.

    Use capitals where appropriate as it looks more professional.

    I didn't think google liked capitals ????

    Google doesn't like a title that is all capitals. Correctly capitalised titles are fine. Capitalising the first letter of each word in a title is correct usage.

    eBid did use to mangle titles to what they believed was compliance with Google's policy. Thankfully, after ages of pleading, they now handle capitalisation sensibly.

    With capitals Google does not like over use, and neither do buyers. I see many items where they are all capitals and not only is it shouting but it is off-putting. Google also accepts things like DVD so use capitals for things like that.

    Until very recently eBid would change anything like that to lower case before feeding the listing to Google Shopping.

    The stripping of valid punctuation from item descriptions by eBid from the feed remains an issue, but I have given up hope of living long enough to see that fixed (http://www.ebid.net/forums/showthrea...-Shopping-Feed).
