This is a rather interesting eBay auction. This seller specializes in working in the Wicca religion and is selling a special bracelet that will bring the wearer good fortune in wealth. A lot of people are skeptical as to whether or not those voodoo rings and bracelets really work (I'm one of them myself), but the seller does show a page full of customer testimonials.

Overall, this is a pretty interesting auction layout. The title isn't bad (I would have chosen a few different key words myself), and certain key words stand out by being in all caps. This helps catch the user's attention while they scan down the auction listings.

Personally, I like the text that the seller is using in the main body of the auction. That ancient style of font fits in perfectly with the item being sold. It helps make the customer believe that the bracelet works and the seller is an honest person.

The shipping fees are a little bit high considering how little the actual jewelry weighs.


Overall, this is a very amusing and effective auction. The style of text is excellent and I like how the seller included back information about their own spiritual history. That's a power way to help sell your items, especially for something like this. The reason I took off some points was that the seller included a little too many customer testimonials. That was overkill and will turn away some customers. The seller is trying too hard to prove that it works, and that'll just make more people skeptical.
