Listing of the day 5/14/09
Welcome to the listing of the day, by seller ivfmom1.
Your title is impeccable! No comments at all, I would have listed it exactly the same way. 
Your photography is excellent, as well. You took lots of great pictures in natural light (the secret of easy and awesome photos!) and there were a lot of them!!
I was looking this morning for an item with a flaw. Sometimes if there is a flaw, we are tempted to quietly mention it in the description…but in the long run, that only hurts us with chargebacks, returns, item NAD filings, and negative feedback. This seller clearly mentioned the flaws in her listing. None of this “play condition” and no details…that drives me nutty!! AND she clearly shows what we are dealing with in close-up photos. A seller with obvious integrity in a listing makes me want to check out/buy more from her. So, maybe this won’t sell-but I’m sure a lot of people are adding her to their favorites because they can “trust” her.
And YEAH!!! A description with measurements!! Thanks, dear!! The only suggestion I could make here is IF you know that the garment was washed in cold/line dried-it should be mentioned. If you are not the original owner and do not know, then you handled it perfectly.
I love your shipping/payment/return policies. They are clearly stated and easy to understand. I love how you bring up DSRs right in the listing, too. It’s never too early to educate our customers on leaving appropriate feedback. Great job! Oh, and LOVE LOVE LOVE how you mention HCTS right there in the listing…I’d bet you do well with affiliate clicks!! Your Me Page is a great example of what everyone should be doing with that valuable piece of real estate ebay gives us!
Have a great Thursday, everyone-I’m off to yard sale in the rain!
xoxo,
Rebecca

Pictures are great, listing is great. However, I would have changed the title a bit. i did some research on this just the other day. If someone searches for a “Playdress” your auction would not show up. However, if in your title you had switched the words “Play” and “Day” around, to read “Day Play Dress” it would show up in a search for “Playdress” “Play Dress” “Day Dress” “Play Day Dress” or any other combination. I know before I was familiar w/ Hanna’s I would search for “Playdress” as one word. Just an FYI for better search results!! Although, I’m sure the way you have it, it will do fine.
What a great listing!
I love the close up of the pictures and I like how the flaws are circled. No doubts about what the buyer is getting.
Rebecca–Have fun yard saling. Saturday it is due to rain here and a nearby town is having a town wide yard sale. I usually don’t go in the rain but would be very tempted to for a BIG sale. Do people actually open on rainy days? Anyway, Good Luck and hope you find lots of hot items!!
And I love how you are showcasing these listings. It is a great learning tool.
