Bad titles, missing keywords, and too little sales history are the most common reasons.
Top 5 reasons
- Bad title: Too short, too generic, wrong keywords
- Wrong category: eBay only shows your item in the chosen category
- Missing item specifics: Brand, size, color, condition — fill everything out
- Too little sales history: eBay favors listings with sales
- Price too high: Expensive items rank lower when cheaper alternatives exist
Quick fixes
- Title: Use all 80 characters. Brand + Model + Condition + Key feature
- Fill out ALL item specifics — even the optional ones
- At least 5 photos, ideally 12
- Enable free shipping (better ranking)
