Dominate the eBay Algorithm: A Practical Guide to Maximize Your Sales

Ebay needs to be replaced. It's over saturated. It's managed by a bunch of thieves.

After 13 years of selling on eBay there’s a few things I’ve learned are the most important when creating listings…1) accurate non keyword stuffed title that makes logical sense and has the most important and relevant keywords in the first 2-3 words 2) excellent, clear, well lit, and detailed photos…and plenty of them 3) as many relevant item specifics as you can get

Love your videos!

Great information ty. Just a heads up for me I did the middle of the road "promote" and some of those items didn't get a single look.

I think 60 day returns is bit much, if someone needs more than a month for a return thats just wild, imo.

Fingers crossed 🤞

Do I need volume pricing on each individual muti quntity listing?

I have no doubt the algorithm has a mind of its own now. 2 weeks ago I hit my highest gross sales, last week it was dead silent. Now, sales are back up. You are spot on when you talk about "brackets" and how we are put in one based on the size of our store. I think ebay puts you through stress tests to see if you are truly committed to being a seller. If you stop feeding the bear for only a second, it will stop being nice to you. You have to feed this machine constantly to get sales.

Don't buy from or sell to hozzcloset2017......zero recourse for sellers from scammers which there are many

Top rated seller, same day shipping (adjusted cut off as 5AM EST) and list every single day, no exceptions. Those are the three things I do to maximize my sales. Of course, selling stuff people want, and pricing appropriately (based on sales history, not what other sellers are hoping to get). I would rather quickly get $50 for an item I paid $1 for, than wait months to get $80. Agree, the "secret" recipe is just that, a secret. I only sell buy it now, pay now. Top rated seller status requires generous return practices. Out of stock is particularly dangerous. When I have done this, it's really just an inventory issue (can't find it) on my end.

Does anybody know how to change dollars to £ on the spreadsheet?

Justin, I’m a new reseller here and wanted to take a moment to say thank you for sharing all this information! So helpful! I’ve been catching up on all your videos .. good stuff.. so.. thank you 😊

We are trying to learn how to increase our click through rate. It is running about 1%. With current to increase to 2%. Any hints ideas

Ebay & FBMarketplace weights your seller behavior heavily. If you are slow to ship, slow to communicate, list things that get returned often it shows your stuff less.

This is especially true for messenger response time for fb marketplace. Thus “is this still available?” Annoying fb marketplace messages is a gift 😂 as you simply respond to those quickly and it substantially boosts your listing.

Would drip feeding the quantity for eg quantity 10 and increase as we go helps or having large quantities of stock for eg 100 helps..to get more sales

My heart sank when you said 35/day until I noticed your on-screen correction! Lol. Appreciate all of your content and advice!

I had neg experience with Googles analytics neg I turned it off I see how it work without it before I turn it back on

When you speak about resisting "older" listings, what do you consider "older"? How long should they be listed before being considered for relisting?

Amazing informative and helpful video. Thank you so much. I am going to try some of your suggestions!

“Pay to promote” is best bc it’s guaranteed extra money for EBay if your item sells, which it is more likely to being at the top of the list.

I just got back into eBay after many years of not using it. The treasure hunt is the fun part. Already made some great scores! Thanks for the vid and I’ll keep watching!

There were some golden nuggets of info here. Thank you for sharing.

You def won my sub! thanks alot <3

I preffer to sell items that people search by it's name or part number, no need to waste any extra cent for promotion of the items.

Thank you Justin you are always very precise and helpful ❤❤❤

Should I promote my store not just my items?? Is it worth it.

#6 Buyer Behavior and Personalization; I call it Buyer Refund Syndrome, I sell specialty CNC tooling. The Buyer purchased it, uses the tool for 28 days and returns it. If eBay tracks the Buyers purchases, why can't the Sellers have access to the Buyers behavior of how many times they want refunds?

$80,000 sales minus shipping charges, minus fees, Minus Giant storage room and electricity heat. What's the net on all that?

As far as “you only pay the promotion fee if they click on the listing when it’s being promoted” — unfortunately this seems to not be the case. I literally sent a person a link directly to an item I was selling and ebay still charged me the promotion fee.

I’m not sure if you even talked about the subject, but have you ever done eBay live and if you have explained it

You can also watch your own new or sell similar refreshed listings giving them a boost in search as having interest. The algorithm doesn't know or care that it's you watching your own listing, and looks at it as a legit watcher.

Watching this in Aug. 2025 and my eBay seller dashboard shows a set 12% promotion amount. It doesn't allow me to change it. How are ya'll able to lower this?

I sell my items without the ads and they still sell. Theres been plenty of times theres been items that sold and would be dreading how much they charged for ad fee and would find out i didnt put ads on it. Its feels good not paying fees on items that are hot items because they r going to sell regardless. So i recommended ads on some not on all

do you think that lets say I look up an item I have for sale and its say the 8th one down.is it going to show the 8th one down for somebody else considering that they put in the same search words?I would try it myself but I don't associate with very many people and the ones I do don't have an account.
