  • A good Full description that mentions key and sought after details, working in conjunction with an appealing primary photo and other photos of value, can help to improve your search clicks
  • If you are copying the description text into the Full description field, make sure you copy it in to a text editor first, such as Notepad to prevent formatting issues 
  • Make sure you click Save regularly to avoid browser timeouts issues that could cause you to lose your work
