    That sounds like a good idea. For search engines?

    Excuse me for asking but what is a 'tag' section, not being very good with technology I just keep it simple and stick to what I know, I did go to a computer class a about 8 years ago but because I did and do not use half the things taught I have forgotten it. I don't use spread sheets and still address my envelopes by hand it is quicker for me.

    A tag is something like this #forum #questions #answers
    But we would use relevant tags pertaining to our item for sale

    If you have tags on your listings, and someone, somewhere on the internet types in a few tags pertaining to an item they are looking for, one of those tags may land on your listing page and if they like what they see, hopefully, they will purchase from you.

    i tried the other day ,

    this line ..with my keywords

    <html><meta name = "keywords" content = "your keywords here " /></html>

    it was rejected, don't know why ..was it me or was it programmed for rejection of such, I'm no html savvy expert ..but that line of code there is what you are looking at putting into the description box in html mode

    Did we not have tell a buyer option at one time ie tagging your regular buyers? Did Ebid delete that option?

    in the html editor add <meta name = "keywords" content = "your keywords here " /> which works (thank you I would never have known how to do it without you!)
