Listing best practices

Frequently asked questions about Best Match

Make sure your listing is complete

The more we know about your listing, the better we can match it to buyer queries. Listings that are missing information (images, item specifics, descriptions), or that have blurry photos, or titles or descriptions filled with irrelevant words, are at a disadvantage compared with other listings.

Having a complete listing can also help reduce claims from buyers that your item was not as described.

As you create your listing, we make listing recommendations based on the research of similar listings. The recommendations are designed to help you have a complete listing and to help you sell your items faster and at better prices.

Optimize your listings for clicks and sales

The popularity of your items with buyers compared to the competition is an important factor in ranking. Follow all best practices, and use the free Listing Analytics tool to fine-tune your fixed price listings.

Tips

Here’s how:

Choose the right selling format

Use the auction-style format when:

• You’re unsure of the value of your item and want it to sell right away
• You have unique and hard-to-find items that could attract demand and start a bidding war
• You’re currently using auction-style listings and your items sell the first time you list them

Tip: Use 7- or 10-day duration to get the maximum exposure for your listing

Use the fixed-price format when:

• You have multiple items that you can group into one multi-quantity or multi-variation listing
• You know the value of your item or know the exact price you need to get for it
• You have a lot of inventory and want to minimize your insertion fees
• You want your items to be available to buyers for more than 7 days

Tip: Use 30-day durations or try automatic renewals to benefit from increased exposure. If you’re selling multiple items in a fixed price listing with a duration of Good ‘Til Cancelled, you can use the out-of-stock option to keep your listing active when you temporarily run out of inventory.

Write a good title

Do:

• Use up to 80 characters to describe your item
• Make your title clear, concise and professional
• State exactly what your item is, even if your title repeats the category name
• Use a sentence or title case
• Use correct spelling

Don’t:

• Use all capital letters
• Use special characters like punctuation marks or asterisks
• Include multiple synonyms (like purse, handbag, and bag)
• Use words that don’t describe your item (wow or l@@k)
• Use words that are false or misleading

Write a good description

Do:

• Make your description clear, concise, and professional
• Use sentence case or title case
• Use correct spelling
• Use a single, simple font in a single colour
• Organize your description in paragraphs or bullets with similar information grouped together:
  • First, describe your item. Include the relevant details about your item, and be clear about what will be in the package the buyer receives
  • In a separate paragraph or bullet, you may want to include a story about the item, or information about why the item is unique or appealing

Don’t:

• Use all capital letters, multiple fonts, or multiple font colours
• Use negative or anti-buyer language
• Make false or misleading claims about your item

List in the correct category

Selecting the right category is crucial to accurately describe your item. Select the category that is most relevant for your item.

Provide as many item specifics as possible

Complete as many of the recommended item specifics as possible to ensure your items are returned in the search and ranked properly.

Use product details from our catalogue where possible

Product details can help you create complete listing descriptions that are more visible and appealing to buyers. Using product details helps make listing easier and your descriptions more complete.

Include high-quality pictures of your item

• Take high-quality photos that will showcase your items
• Photograph your item at different angles
• Include photos of any scratches, flaws, or other parts of your item that a buyer would want to see
• Don’t add borders or text to your photos
• Don’t use the stock photo as your main picture when using the eBay catalogue if your item is not brand new

Price competitively

Price competitively, including shipping. When it comes to pricing fixed price items, it’s a good idea to watch your closest competitors on and off eBay to see what they’re charging for similar items. Remember to consider shipping costs as part of the equation as you price your items.

Focus on customer satisfaction

• Offer the highest levels of service possible to your buyers
• Reduce your low detailed seller ratings and the number of buyer claims against you

More information

• Seller performance standards
• Creating your return policy
• Improve performance by shipping items promptly

Use Listing Analytics to optimize your listing

With Listing Analytics you can see how many times your fixed price listings are shown to buyers, what the click-through rate is, and how well the item is selling.

Include a vehicle history report your eBay Motors vehicle listing

• If you list fewer than 7 vehicles in a year, you’ll get a free AutoCheck report from Experian. You don’t need to do anything.
• If you’ve listed 7 or more vehicles in a year and you currently subscribe to AutoCheck by Experian, you’ll need to supply them with your eBay and AutoCheck ID.
• If you’ve listed 7 or more vehicles in a year and don’t currently subscribe to AutoCheck by Experian, visit AutoCheck to sign up.

What is the most important factor in Best Match?

There are many factors that go into Best Match, and no single one will boost your item to the top of the list. Make your listing complete, price competitively, and offer great service to buyers to give your listing the best chance for visibility.

Why do you rank auction-style and fixed price listings differently?

Different factors come in to play for each format. For example, the end time may be a buyer consideration for auction-style listings, while the end time of a 30-day Good ‘Til Canceled fixed price listing is not as important.

If popularity with buyers matters, what about new items?

We compare new items to similar sold items to get a similar item popularity score. This score is used until we’ve collected enough observations about an item to rank it based on performance history.

Do my listings get a benefit in Best Match if I offer free shipping, returns, or am a Top-rated seller?

The level of services each listing offers to buyers, and the past performance history of sellers, including seller standing and bad buyer experience rates are considered in ranking. However, no single factor will boost a listing to the top of search results. Make your listing complete, price competitively, and offer great service to buyers to give your listing the best chance for visibility. In general, the lower your defect rate, the better your position in Best Match search results.

Why does Best Match change all the time?

We regularly give Best Match a tune-up to make sure we’re doing the best we can to meet our objective of highlighting relevant items that follow best practices and offer great value and service to buyers.
