Hello everyone,
so, I haven't seen any post here on BHW about increasing views using alt tags on the images,
I have tried only for 1 item in my eBay shop who had only 13 views for about 3 days and when I added tags to images I hit 300 views in 2 days no sales tho no one liked the description or item I guess.
so who have heard about image alt tagging ?

I added an example of image tags

You added tags to images in the description and noticed a big increase in views?

Yes, eBay watches what is written in those saved image tags, image tags and eBay search engine are connected, could be that ppl see your item more in search results if they have written your keyword - tag, there was a post on google about image alt tagging, but it was 2018 post, now some of that information might be outdated

to find good keywords for alt tags and my title

I've looked and the only alt tag on eBay images is the Title of the listing for all images. Once you actually view the zoomed images there are no alt tags.
