Tips to help bring more traffic to your Shop

Use a mix of auction-style, fixed price, and Shop Inventory listings. Listing is all three types of formats is the best way to get different types of exposure on eBay and help buyers discover your Shop.  Here are some listing suggestions for various items:
  • Unique items: We suggest a high level of auction-style and fixed price items to attract demand.

  • Accessories and hard-to-find Items: We suggest an approximately even split of auction-style, fixed price and Shop Inventory listings.

  • Accessories with inventory depth:  We suggest a higher level of Shop Inventory listings.
