Did anyone know that if you title your item "Cam Newton autograph" and someone searches Cam Newton auto, your item will not appear. I figured that out with 25 minutes left on my auction and 1000 other items sold on there. Oh well, someone is going to get a killer deal on my Newton.

I prefer "auto" just cause it doesn't take up that much space.

I usually do also, I just had no idea that by putting autograph, that it wouldn't show up in any ebay searches when you searched auto.

Yeah I always put auto as well and never put year first instead I put the players name. Cause when I search I type "Maclin auto" etc...

Boosted it up too if there are real cam newton fans they will find it I search about 2-3 times a day on dez Bryant and I just go hit newly listed and only type in the name so that I get everything listed for Bryant

Wow, you're lucky we came in on that. No bidders at the end. I smell a 10% discount for saving your neck!

I don't see it as shill bidding this hobby is bad enough on getting your money back on the boxes you bust so when you do get a top hit and make a bad mistake it really sucks so y not help the other members out if it wasn't for that it could have sold for around $60

Agreed. Help a guy out and maybe get a decent price on a card. I knew my limit, he knew his. He won.

you should always use auto...if someone wants to bring back everything (including auto, autographs, etc), they can just type in cam newton auto*
smart buyers will search aut* and will hit auto and autograph

click on autograph radio box in the description and put auto in the title, then your auctions hit both!

Why is that exactly?
I don't understand the aut* trick.

"*" is a wildcard...seraches everything... aut* - it will search for anything starting with aut in the word...
