How long should an eBay title be?

Up to 80 characters. Use them for the words buyers type: brand, model, item type, size, colour and material. Leave out words like 'wow' or 'look'.

What order should the words go in?

Brand first, then what the item is and its key detail (model, style or material), then size and colour. Buyers scan the start of a title, so the most important words go first.

Does a high score mean it will sell?

No. It's a quick check against simple rules of thumb. Photos, price and condition matter at least as much as the title.

eBay titles can be up to 80 characters. We don't know of a fixed title limit on Vinted or Depop, but their feeds show only the start, so we suggest keeping the key words in the first 60 characters.
