"Asking for a friend" as the kids say.

if you have clear accurate title, good pictures
and a low starting price, this is all you need.
it could be listed in ladies cosmetics and you wont get hurt , the right bidders will find it because they are looking for specific relevant words in the title.
obviously you need to be listing some thing where there are not tons of the same thing , as very few bidders want to look through a 1000 best match records
