One thing I noticed (I shop alot of Victoria's Secret) is that you have yours listed as Victorias Secret which brings up 3500 listings. If you put the apostrophe in Victoria's you come up with 18,000 listings. If you have room I would list it as:

Victorias Secret (Victoria's) polka dot robe (or whatever the item may be.

That way you get hits no matter how people spell it.

Also on clothing don't be afraid to use up the extra title space they gave you. If you have room not only put M but put medium too so people will find it no matter which they put in.

On the suit that's Watermelon in color I would put hot pink in parenthesis if you have room. Many people look up pink clothes, not too many put in Watermelon. In the description you could put Watermelon (although it looks hot pink on my monitor).

I think I would lose the ALL CAPS in my titles. Your photos look good and you have all the measurements listed which is great. But have you compared prices on eBay? Maybe your competition is starting their prices out lower and getting the bids going.

1)Your auctions HANG netscape, requiring a ctl-alt-del and reboot

Just in my opinion, I think $24.99 is too much for a nightshirt missing a button.

I shop at Victoria's Secret a lot, and they run some pretty good sales from time to time. Their sale prices for new items aren't much higher than your's are for used.

Just my opinion

The Maniquin is awful sexy, maybe she is distracting everyone!

Is it within eBay's rules to have a link to your Vendio store on the auction page?

I thought that any link (other than one in a small banner for a third-party service) that takes a person off eBay is verboten, especially links that go to a non-eBay page where there are items for sale.

IOW, it's my understanding that you could have a link to Vendio but not to a Vendio store. If anyone has clarification I'd love to hear it.

The Victoria's Secret market on eBay is saturated, has been for a long time. VS seconds, returns and overruns are readily available, yet for some reason are hotly bid on at such sites as liquidation.com.

Fluffy is right about the links to your Vendio store - the only Vendio store link is allowed is a "discreet one" like the one that appears when users click to enlarge images.

Here's a link to Seller's guide about links: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-links.html
