I'm wondering what the current algorithm is to have the best chance of being up at the top of the results and selling lots each day.
What does eBay reward your listing for?
Is the amount of photos per listing that make the listing rank higher?
Does a higher resolution matter?
Is it having lots of keywords in the title?
Is it the title being close the the 80 character limit?
Is it the character count in the description?
Does it matter how many of the item specifics are filled out?
The account I sell on has a featured shop subscription, has over 2000 listings, all listings are "free P&P", 5000 feedback, 99.5%+ positive, its top rated too. I'm steadily hitting around 25 orders per day. I want to break through this barrier I am currently hitting (and have hit with previous accounts)
Although this may be my downfall, I only promote my listings at the lowest amount, 2%. eBay already takes up to 13% selling fees, I can't wrap my head around their huge "suggested" ad rates. How am I to competitively price an item at £19.99 and then opt to give away a suggested 7-20% of that by promoting, plus approx. 9% fees, plus 30p final value fee, plus £3 postage... plus packaging.
I'm just looking for any tips or tricks that people have in the community.
