this is how I would've titled it - the best way to title your auctions is to look for the listings that ended highest

plus ending early evening on a Wednesday didn't do you any favors

The picture isn't the best ever. But it's not that bad. Maybe (just throwing out ideas), it's because you put autograph instead of auto. I usually put both in mine if I can just to pick up the people that might search the full word.

It could just be random. :|

you don't have to do that. people who search for "autograph" will get the listings with "auto"

Interesting. I guess I was still doing it the old school way before ebay got all fancy on us. :lol:

I guess there's little reason for me to search auto* anymore then either.

nope, you still have to do that for the sake of brevity in longer searches... :lol:

Poor picture for starters. Your item description is extremely weak. No mention of condition, no card number, no mention of how the item is shipped (bubble mailer, top loader, etc.) or when shipped, no mention of return policy, no mention on if the card pictured is the actual card (versus stock photo), no image in the description. Good feedback but your listing looks amateurish.

Here is how I list my stuff.

Very clean image and ample discussion in the description. My description is stored in a Turbolister template so only minor tweaks are needed when I list new stuff.

:lol: oh well. It's a good way to find misspelled deals with guys that have unusual names. Type the first three letters, and thow in the * and you can almost always find something misspelled.
