I did a search on ebay for it using keywords: 2017 chevy volt battery and it came up http://www.ebay.com/itm/2017-GM-Volt-Li-ion-Gen-2-NEW-Battery-First-on-Ebay-24-hours-Only-/182226573070 This ad reads that it is a 24hr sale (afterward it is taken down?), so I am posting this to try to help get the word out with a direct link. Searches on ebay are a different beast than some search engines. ebay searches aren't always tied into the title nor the text of the ad. Encase someone tried to search using their own keywords, I tried 2017 chevy volt battery and got: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.X2017+chevy+volt+battery.TRS0&_nkw=2017+chevy+volt+battery&_sacat=0 An ebay search using keywords 2017 Chevrolet Volt battery did not find the (above) ad, even though Chevrolet is in the body text of the ad. The following is pointed out to help the seller (and anyone else using ebay) When using ebay, a seller might want to take a lesson from other ebay sellers, and crowd the title/subject of their ad with keywords that a search would find if the wording was different (not GM but Chevy, or Chevrolet, etc.). Also, this ad's wording has typos (not good for sales) like the seller was so excited they did not proof their ad. This is especially bad, if it is an ad like this that only has a short time window to be sold in: - Up for sale for 24 hours is a brand new 2017 GM Chev Volt Li-ion battery with new improved chemistry providing more energy than before.. can be broken down to small modules as small as 48vdc. This listing will expire in 24 hours. buyer can provide his own shipping or seller will assist. read to to be picked up on a pallet. Picture available on the pallet from seller by calling 925.292.8565 or cruisin at live.com - IMO I would not have stressed that it was the first on ebay (buyers do not care), and used that text-space for other keywords. Additionally, I would have added other pack voltages it could have been used for (people do not like to think, to get more sales, you need to spoon feed them the words that will perk them to buy). Perhaps something like: - *New 2017 Chevy Volt Li-ion Gen 2 Battery pack, 24 hour sale Only (GM, Chevrolet) * This listing will expire in 24 hours. Up for sale is a brand new 2017 GM Chevy Volt Li-ion battery pack with the new improved chemistry providing more energy than before. This battery pack can be broken down (take-apart) into smaller voltage modules for other EVs (i.e.: 144VDC, 120VDC, 96VDC, even as small as 48VDC. The buyer can provide his own shipping, or the seller can offer shipping assistance. This battery pack is ready to be picked up on a pallet. Picture available on the pallet from seller by calling 925.292.8565 or contact via cruisin at live.com - (I am not the seller, see above) For EVLN EV-newswire posts use: http://evdl.org/evln/ {brucedp.150m.com} -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/EBAY-gets-their-first-listing-for-a-NEW-2017-VOLT-battery-tp4683143p4683144.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
