The "pricing research" tool is absolute trash when it comes to sports cards
Summary: bsb_gold_and_pawn expresses frustration with eBay's "pricing research" tool, stating it recommends irrelevant and low-value comparisons for high-value items like $100+ autographs, which may be affecting listing views. They suggest that an alternative tool, like typing the title into 130point, gives more accurate results. tobaccocardyahoo advises against using the Terapeak tool if it does not provide correct pricing, comparing eBay prices to stock market warnings, indicating that past results do not predict future outcomes.
It constantly picks garbage "similar listings" which are a bunch of $1 base cards/inserts that are not even close to comparable to the listing and then recommends a price of $3 for $100+ autographs and SSP's etc.
When I go type my listing title in 130point, it works fine and pulls up the sales of the same card or actually similar cards.
It seems like ebay it is using this garbage tool and suppressing impressions/views because it thinks it's a $3 card listed for $100+

·1 month agoIf terapeak yields prices you do not think are correct, don't use it.
Ebay prices are like the warnings in a stock prospectus. Past results are not predictive of future performance.
