I can't see anywhere in Vendio how to input them. Does anyone know?

I know you probably didn't pay much for that; but you never know, it could be worth nothing.

I looked for it too and couldn't find anything. Then I decided to revise my auction title, and there it was! It costs .50, and I think it might be a great feature! I don't know why it doesn't show up any place else!

The Subtitles show up when you axcess your Seller Page but doesn't appear in the search. I came across one earlier and entered what they had written and it didn't come up in the search. I feel that 50 cents is way to much as it doesn't do anything to enhance your auctions.

I'm selling more and more of them now. Some of the sellers are literally throwing the 50 cents away because their items are way overpriced when compared to similar items.
I think the feature may be worth either 5 or 10 cents at most.

I revised two of my newly listed items in Ebay today and added a subtitle.
I did it to distinguish my items from other lower value items that have many of the same key words as my items.
Although my items do not come up in a search because of words in the subtitle, I am hoping it allows bidders to see that my item is brand new, sealed, and one of the higher value items.
I felt more comfortable starting with a low starting price, knowing that my item was distinguishable from the lower value items.
I noticed many of the sellers of my item start around $55 to $75.

I can't see how this feature is worth a thing! It isn't picked up in the title search is it? Might as well put the wording in your description and save the $$!

Oops, I meant seeing and not selling. If a few foolish sellers make some money for ebay by using the subtitles option than maybe ebay won't raise rates so much in the future.

Ace, LOL! (I should have got that, but didn't! ha!) Thought maybe you were selling the subtitles on some auction software somewhere or something?
Bet alot of sellers are unaware the subtitles do not show up in the searches. (What a waste!)

The subtitles do show up in the description searches but not the title searches. To me, the smaller font of the subtitle begs to be overlooked by the browsing buyers. Of the few subtitled auctions that I've encountered, I've read the subtitle only once or twice. What cheapos ebay was to make it a smaller font size. I guess they figure if sellers are dumb enough to pay $1 for bold then 50 cents for a subtitle would be easy to push.

In one of the sections I regularly search there is a seller using the subtitles, I have to admit that the deviation ffrom the formula draws my eye to their auction listings everytime.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?
