2. Making an attractive auction page with a clear description
You want your auction to catch people's eyes. Your first picture, the one that is going to be displayed in the search list, has to be the promotional image of your item, a quick Google search will get you the image you want.Your second image have to include a picture with proof of your item. Take a picture of the code and erase or black out most of the code. Leave a few digits/letters at the end because it'll help you. If it can't be done, don't worry about it too much, but always try to get a screenshot or photo.
Your title should be something that will catch your buyer's attention right away and explain 50% of what your auction is about. It should also be searchable, include common keywords into your title, such as "free, proof, trusted" etc. I believe that it makes your search ranked higher when sorted by "Best Match" but it's unconfirmed.
Your description should include a clear, properly formatted explanation of what it is that you're selling.
Things to cover are:
What you shouldn't include (this applies to physical and virtual goods) is to put one or two lines of what the item is and then put 10 lines of rules that either repeat rules on Listia (verified address, how many days they have until they keep your credits, etc.), try to offend commentors and be overall negative. People try to make their own rules on Listia and cover all bases that there could be problems before they arise. This turns away buyers (especially me) and lose bids, be positive, name all the good things about your auction, stay away from negativity.

Things to cover are:
- what it is that you can do with it
- where to redeem it
- if you have proof, say something like "this auction is real, check the proof screenshot"
- at what time of the day you are going to deliver
- at the end, put a closure like "Good Luck and Happy Bidding!"
