How the Algorithm Handles Stale Listings [LIST] [*]Reduced Visibility: Items without engagement (sales, clicks) for 60-90 days drop in search rankings, with some seeing up to 80% fewer impressions. [*]Activity Penalty: The algorithm prefers active, fresh listings. Stagnant inventory is pushed down in "Best Match" results. [*]Seller Impact: A high volume of stagnant, old inventory can hurt the overall store performance. [/LIST] Strategies to Boost Stale Listings [LIST] [*]"Sell Similar" over "Relist": Ending a listing and using "Sell Similar" is the most effective way to reset the listing's age and regain visibility, as it assigns a new item ID. [*]Revise & Refresh: Make significant changes to the listing to signal to the algorithm that the item is new. This includes changing the title, updating item specifics, adding new photos, or lowering the price by at least 10%. [*]Optimize Keywords & Specifics: Ensure items have complete item specifics, as low-performing, old listings often lack this data. [*]Run Sales/Promotions: Using eBay promotions or lowering prices can help increase engagement, signaling to Cassini that the item is desirable. [/LIST] Key Takeaways [LIST] [*]Do not just "relist" an item; it keeps the same data and low-ranking history. [*]"Sell Similar" resets the search engine’s perception of the item's age. [*]Consistently adding new items, rather than just waiting for old ones to sell, helps the overall store health. [/LIST][/QUOTE]
