eBay listing tips
What actually moves items faster on eBay — based on how the platform works.
Hit all 80 title characters
eBay ranks listings partly on title keyword density. Include brand, model, colour, size, and condition in every title. "Apple iPhone 13 128GB Midnight Unlocked Very Good" outperforms "iPhone 13 for sale" on every search.
Use item specifics — they drive search filters
Buyers filter by brand, MPN, condition, and compatibility. Fill every item-specific field eBay shows for your category. Incomplete specifics invisible in filter results lose sales regardless of price.
Photograph on a plain white or neutral background
eBay's catalog algorithm uses photo clarity to match your listing to existing product data. Clean backgrounds improve auto-fill accuracy. Also increases buyer trust — cluttered backgrounds read as amateur.
Price below the lowest active listing by 5%
eBay "Buy It Now" search sorts by price + shipping by default. Your listing competes directly with hundreds of identical items. Use the Sold Listings filter to price at the median of recent sales, not the most optimistic active listing.
Offer free shipping and build the cost into the price
"Free shipping" listings get a 0.5-star boost in Cassini (eBay's search algorithm). Buyers also respond better to a £55 free-shipping listing than a £45 + £10-shipping equivalent — even when the total is identical.
Accept returns — it improves search ranking
eBay's Best Match algorithm favours sellers with 30-day return policies. It signals buyer confidence. Most categories see no meaningful increase in actual returns when you add the option.
End listings at peak browsing times
For auction-style listings, schedule to end Sunday 7–9 pm local time. This is consistently eBay's highest-bidding window. Fixed-price listings are not affected, but new listing boosts reset at midnight — list early morning.

How do I write a good eBay listing title?
Use all 80 characters. Include brand, model, key spec (storage, size, colour), condition, and any compatibility note. Avoid punctuation, ALL CAPS, and filler words like "look" or "wow" — they waste characters and are ignored by Cassini.
What is the eBay final value fee?
Most categories charge 13.25% of the total sale amount (item price + shipping). Some categories like motors and real estate have different fee structures. The first 250 listings per month are free to list.
Does SnapWand generate eBay-optimised listings?
Yes. SnapWand reads your item photos, identifies brand, model, condition, and key specs, then generates an 80-character title and description formatted for eBay buyers — with the level of detail that fills item specifics.
How many photos should I upload to eBay?
eBay allows up to 24 photos for free. Use at least 8: overall front, back, sides, top, any damage, serial number, and accessories. More photos reduce return disputes and increase buyer confidence.
What is the best time to end an eBay auction?
Sunday evenings between 7 pm and 9 pm in the buyer's timezone consistently produce the most bids. For fixed-price listings, timing matters less — optimise the listing quality instead.
