Last week, eBay sellers Cayley Elaine of Well Traveled and Gerron Moore of Big Dreams hosted a Sellers-Only Listing Hour Webinar, where they revealed their listing best practices.
They shared their real listing workflows, from sourcing and building drafts in bulk to how they approach titles, photos, and item specifics, along with practical tips you can start using right away. They also reviewed a few seller-submitted listings live and called out simple strategies to improve visibility and conversion.
If you missed it or want to rewatch parts of the session, the full recording is available to stream now.
Smart listing tips from Cayley and Gerron:
Cayley:
- Track items while sourcing: Log title ideas, cost, price, and notes in a spreadsheet while shopping → eliminates redoing comps later.
- Use spreadsheet uploads to create drafts in bulk: Utilize eBay’s upload template → generates hundreds of drafts in minutes.
- Bulk edit to save massive time: Apply shared details (policies, categories, shipping, etc.) across all drafts at once → cuts down on hundreds of clicks.
- OHIO - Only Handle It Once: Capture tags, flaws, measurements, and materials upfront → streamlines your process.
- Fill in all item specifics using dropdowns: Don’t skip the dropdown fields, many can be auto-filled from your title → helps drive filtered search visibility.
Gerron:
- Listings are the foundation of sales: Better listings = more visibility and conversions.
- Use “Sell Similar” to speed up listing: Reuse similar listings instead of starting from scratch.
- Leverage search bar suggestions: eBay autocomplete reflects what buyers are searching for, so use those keywords in your titles.
- Keep titles clean and optimized: Avoid unnecessary punctuation and focus on high-value keywords.
- Avoid listing mistakes that hurt performance: Examples: bad photos (or only stock photos), high shipping costs, and wrong category placement.
