This seller is auctioning a set of drapes that have hung in their home for many years. These drapes have a Chinese theme going with several dragons.

The auction title has the right idea. A word or two could have proper capitalization, but the right key words are listed. This listing should easily show up in a variety of different searches.

The actual listing could use a little more work. There are numerous grammar errors throughout the listing. The main body of text should also be broken up and made a little easier to read and understand. Bullet points would be excellent when listing dimensions and key features.

This seller gets bonus points for the low shipping costs. By not ripping off sellers with those expensive "handling" fees, this seller is going to earn the right for more customers to do repeat business in the near future. 314 positive pieces of feedback (none of them neutral or negative) is an excellent sign that this is an honest seller.


Overall, this auction is pretty good. It's neither outstanding nor poor, but the right ideas are there. The main body of text needs the most work, as there are grammar and spacing issues throughout the text. A big plus is that the seller listed the dimensions, and the pictures are pretty good too.
