1p day to list a subtitle on Ebay

Just got a message in My ebay messages thingy advertising that it will cost just 1p to list a subtitle under the listing title (12th July to 14th) instead of the usual 35p.

I've never used subtitles before (except when watching french films :p ) so was wondering if any others found them to be effective extras to add on in general?

    I haven't ever bothered with a subtitle so can't help. I always liked the challenge of trying to get all my most useful keywords in the main title!

    It's a shame that they are using this offer as it means we are unlikely to see another offer day for at least a month or two and I would have preferred either another 5p listing day or a free gallery pic day.

    Soo

    Aaaaah that's what I was thinking, so subtitles aren't really that useful if they can't return in keyword searches then.
    But for a 1p I'll try a few and see if I notice any higher clicks.

    i guess it gives people a bit more info and it does show up on the listings so worth a penny i guess :D
