Put fit details in the title
Include what buyers type: size, fitting type, finish and compatibility, such as an E27 base or 15mm pipe. Titles are short, so prioritise what decides the fit.

Dropshipping home improvement products on eBay
Home improvement buyers on eBay often know exactly what they need – a fitting size, a bulb base, a fixing pattern – and search for it directly. Precise specifics win those searches, and clear limits on what’s included prevent returns. Here’s how to list fittings, lighting and storage on eBay.
eBay tips for home improvement
State what’s not included
If bulbs, fixings or brackets aren’t in the box, say so in the description and specifics. Missing parts are a common reason for returns with postage both ways.
Respect electrical rules
Light fittings and electrical items must meet the buyer’s country’s safety and marking rules, with the right connection. Check eBay’s policy for your site first.
Price long items for real
Greenhouse kits, shelving systems and long rails attract oversize surcharges. Check the actual service for each destination and set prices that hold after fees.
