Is Your eBay Store Really Optimised? The Hidden Gaps Costing You Sales
Running an eBay store is simple but running a profitable one is another story. Thousands of sellers list similar products every day, yet only a few manage to generate consistent profits.
Most sellers focus on uploading products and waiting for orders, but without proper optimisation, your listings will get buried under competitors. If your sales have slowed despite strong products, it’s time to ask: Is your store really optimised?
Understand eBay’s Search Algorithm
eBay’s Cassini search engine rewards relevance, quality, and engagement. Your titles, images, item specifics, and feedback directly affect ranking. Copy-pasting manufacturer titles or using generic descriptions won’t work.

Each listing should reflect how real buyers search, not how suppliers describe products.
Audit and Improve Weak Listings
Review your listings weekly. Check which products have low impressions, weak click-through rates, or poor conversions. Update titles, add descriptive bullet points, and include high-quality images.
Even small improvements such as updating your top 10 listings can deliver quick wins.
Build Buyer Trust
eBay prioritises reliable sellers. Offer fast dispatch, clear refund policies, and responsive customer service.
Top Rated Seller status doesn’t just boost credibility; it improves ranking and may even reduce selling fees.
