How to keep people's attention when presenting a long list

While browsing the clasifieds here I came accross this post (2nd one in the thread) where the seller is presenting a long list of scripts (I have no affiliation with him or her. This thread is not meant to promote the sales posts). I found my eyes wandering before I got a quarter of the way through. How would some of you improve the presentation of a long product list like this?

    In direct response copy, it wouldn't be wise to include a list that long. Bullets... maybe... but never a list.

    I consider the URL you provided an e-commerce post. And the OP did just fine given the constraints presented by his offer.

      You don't think he would have achieved better results by placing links to separate pages on the site for each category and using a compelling paragraph to target the people for each category and get them to visit the appropriate page?
