I quite often see listings with the description of "Eames Era" in them. Can someone explain when this era was or is it more of a certain style? Thanks!

"Eames Era" is an attempt at keyword spamming usually done with pieces of junk. All it does is make it less likely that serious bidders will look at your auction.

I would disagree with that statement as I think many buyers are looking for items from that era and a seller doesn't know what they have so they enter that. I was searching for a special item so I used what is supposed to be the title but couldn't find it but when I entered Eamas Era there it was. Way out of my price range and sold for a few dollars in the 60's.

I know a lot of high-end buyers of that era and if they see Eames Era in the title, they don't even look. Neither do I.
A couple of months ago I needed to buy some real Eames pieces and there was way too much muck to wade through to even find a real Eames piece on ebay. Every seller of junk thinks it helps them to put it in the title. Finally bought one on ebay and four at a flea market.

Gee, guess I'm too lazy to look on Google huh? Actually, just thought you folks would like to give your opinions on Eames Era and its use on eBay auctions. Guess I won't bother to ask questions here anymore. Thought that's why we were all on here - to ask opinions of other eBayers. Guess I was wrong, in the future I'll just use Google instead.
Your original post asked if someone could define Eames Era for you. We have done that.
There was no mention of wanting our opinions on Eames Era and its use on eBay auctions.
Here's my opinion on Eames Era. It's become something of a hodge-podge definition, rather like "Shabby Chic" that is used to market just about anything from the '50s-'60s.
As far as using it on eBay auctions, I wouldn't unless my item were truly in the Eames style. To find exactly what that style includes, I would research on Google and any other sites I could locate.
