Improve Listing Quality

Buyers are unable to physically see, touch and feel their online purchases. To ensure a good shopping experience, it is important for sellers to provide all the product information and details in their listing, particularly pictures.

Upload high quality photos
  • Take high quality, clear and sharp photos of your items
  • Upload at least 5 clear photos against a white background since the Best Match algorithm pushes your listings up when you upload more photos.
  • Upload all angles of your item so buyers can have a clear picture of what they are buying. This will help convince them to choose your item.
  • Give a clear indication of sizes by placing it next to a ruler.
What to avoid:
  • DON’T add borders or text to your picture.
  • DON’T use stock photos especially if your item is not new

Detailed Item Description
  • Be as detailed and accurate as you can and describe everything about the item.
  • Describe all product features, benefits and flaws.
  • Write in point form to make your description easy to read.
  • Ensure that your descriptions are mobile-friendly.

Offer competitive pricing
  • Naturally, competitive prices are often the deal breaker for buyers when selecting an item. No one would pay more when they can get a similar item at a better price.
  • Visit eBay Explore and use ‘What It’s Worth’ to find out what other sellers are charging for similar products
