***Coming Soon: Extended Title***
Date: 12/31/03 Time: 06:16:23 PM PST
Many members of the Community have let us know that they would like to be able to add more text to their Item Title. We are very pleased to announce that, beginning in mid-February, we will be offering an additional ten (10) characters to the Item Title as part of the basic insertion fee. Currently the Title allows for 45 characters of text, and this will be increased to a total of 55 characters.
The extra ten characters will allow sellers to further describe their items and help buyers better decide which items to look at. The longer Title will be searchable through Title Search, the same way that it is today. Extended Title will be introduced on the U.S. site in mid-February, and on international sites a few weeks later.
We hope this enhancement improves your selling and buying experience on eBay.
Regards,
eBay

This is great news! Sometimes I just need 2 or 3 more characters. Good going, Ebay.

Great news! This is something I have suggested to eBay several times. I always find that the hardest part of the listing, is trying to get everything you need into the title.

Always the possibility that the listing fee may be raised. They do not have to announce that at this early date.

On a few of the ebay related message boards that I visit there are several posters that believe ebay is getting ready to raise the insertion/listing fee. How much of an increase do you think ebay could get away with? An extra nickel or dime?

It is about time ebay did something right. When they cut it back, it hurt sellers that were offering multiple items (or sets) in an auction as there simply wasn't enough room to state what the multiple items were.
I do wonder about the listing fees though. Are they going up? Or is the second title line going to make up the difference in ebays eyes when the fee goes to regular price? I guess we wait and see.
