I know the post is old but I wanted to thank you for the post since I got to learn something important since I have been paying eBay for my items to be given priority with zero results. I will try the tips on the site -thanks

I remember when you paid to have your listing on the home page. Now you can pay but it doesn’t seem to show up anywhere special at all. Ebay has become a near complete losing proposition for us. That’s why we’ve moved on to other business.

I don’t see how anyone can be making money on there anymore.

It appears to me that this works like any other strategy for getting something to the top of google – namely by increasing the number of links to it, you increase its position.
One quick question – for optimum results is it better to link to your listings, your ebay store, or even your “about me” page or my world page?
You would then be linking from these other pages to the actual items for sale.
Or would any of that not make the difference I thought it would?

I have been using Twitter to promote my store and eBay items and it appears that the more I promote my items, the higher they have been climbing up the ranks in Google Shopping. Today, my eBay items appeared at the top of Google Shopping search list! I’m not sure if this is because of the amount of traffic Twitter sends to my eBay items or not, however it is interesting that the more traffic that is sent to my eBay store, the higher up the search results my items climb.
