Ebay listing and searching tips
« on: March 10, 2020, 03:01:39 PM »
I recently listed a part on Ebay and was disappointed in the number of views I got. I tried searching for my own part as an experiment and even though I pretty much typed in the exact listing , it still wouldn't find it. Also, when I search for a specific part that I'm looking for on the Ebay.com site, it doesn't show all the listings. I accidentally went to the Ebay Canada site and there were many more items listed under the same search words.
Anyone got any tips and tricks ?

I've found deals using misspelled words and Honda 750, cb750, Honda cb, honda wrench, honda tools, 750 wrench, I've also looked up a Honda part number and googled that, it takes me to ebay motors quite often.
 On the selling side, I'm not as sure but those are some tags that work.
 I got a GS1100e swingarm, axle, pivot bolt, brake strut, chain guard, spacers and all for $85 because the guy advertised it as gs1100 rear. Most went for $140 and up without the spare parts. And it didn't need rebuilt.

I got 3 listings from eBay for a "Honda wench".
