In addition to Item Condition monitoring, he pointed to improved curated feeds and Priority Listings. Lill stated eBay had launched the idea of “Priority Listings” in June, describing them as “gadgets which are significantly invaluable for eBay sellers to promote.”

“ePN is devoted to serving to our sellers optimize their enterprise, so we laid the inspiration by including new “Priority Listings” flags and monitoring parameters to all of our feeds,” Lill stated. “Over time, we’re hoping to supply bonus pricing in order that we reward our companions who efficiently drive conversions of those listings.”
