Keywords and completed sale

[whitehealey]

I have entered 50 plus keywords, but am unable to use any of them to get my "store" up for looking, and I wonder how prospects will find my site?
Also, once I have made a sale, how do I inform the purchaser how to pay for the item? Where may I enter information to the customer for a completed sale?

Mornin white,
Not sure what your asking about the keywords and not being able to use them to get your store up?
You can put up a banner in your signature, and that will help people find your store easily, we can help with that if you would like.
On your listing itself, you can put in the different payment gateways you want to use, if you need help with that, we can assist you.
Also, once you make a sale, it will show up on your "sold" tab in the members area, simply go to the sold tab and to the far right you will see options, message board is a useful thing, you can send an invoice from that same sold tab for that item, leave feedback from that sold tab also.
If you need more help, please come back here and we will help all we can.

white,

The keywords are more for search engines. Search engines don't really use keywords like they used to, so this is something we are looking to change. I would not really worry too much about entering keywords. The biggest thing you will want to do is to provide as much exposure for your store as possible. Creating a signature here, with a link to your store is very good. If you have a website or post in other blogs or forums, throw in a link to your store here and there. The more links you have to your store, the search engines will place you higher for your store name, as well as other content and auctions in your store pages.

Since kat has responded here, I will use her for an example. I did a search on Google (liked below) for her store name, and her store here came up as number one, above her website which uses the same name.

I searched for the title of one of her auctions in her store, and it came up as number five.
