Understanding the Basics of eBay Listings 
Ebay Categories 
You can create up to 300 Store categories. Sum of your categories is counted by the sum of all your level 1, level 2, and level 3 entries. For example, you can either go for 300 level 1 categories or divide them into 30 level 1 categories with 10 subcategories thereof. You will want to note that eBay creates a default level 1 category named as "Other Items" that cannot be edited and does count towards the 300 category limit. So now, how do you optimize the entries for keyword searches?
 
For one, you need not be under the impression that eBay items are only searchable within there. So decide on your primary keyword first. For example, if the list includes a SONY DIGITAL SLR Camera, the keyword for the category would be CAMERAS, and the Level-1 sub-category would be DIGITAL SLR and the Level-2 sub-category listed as SONY. In such a listing, the sub-categories may include other types and makes of cameras also. On the same lines, supposing that you are listing fashion garments and dresses for children, the keyword would be dresses with appropriate sub-categories. Know your categories well and your item will definitely receive way more searches than your competitors!
 
Ebay Keyword Research Summary 
So, going by the rule of thumb, effective optimization would call for primary keyword, if available, the 2nd too, to be included in the title. You keyword must appear 3-5 times in the description but concentrated towards first and last paragraphs. It might take time but not impossible to master the art. So now that you know more about how you can get more traffic than your competitor using basic keyword and category listing, go on! Implement what you have learnt and you will succeed!
