eBay SEO Services: Master the Cassini Algorithm

eBay's Cassini search engine weights relevance, value, trust, and seller performance differently from every other marketplace. Sell-through rate and item specifics carry unusual weight, which means listings can be won or lost on structured data alone.

Ranking Factors

How eBay Search Actually Ranks Products

The Cassini algorithm weights these signals. Optimization that ignores any one of them leaves ranking on the table.

Item Specifics Completeness

Cassini relies heavily on structured item specifics. Incomplete specifics is the single most common reason eBay listings fail to surface.

Sell-Through Rate

eBay favours listings that convert watchers and views into sales. Stale listings with high views and no sales get demoted.

Seller Performance

Top Rated Seller status, defect rate, and late shipment rate all feed directly into placement.

Listing Format

Fixed price versus auction changes ranking behaviour entirely. Multi-quantity fixed price listings accumulate sales history that compounds.

Shipping Terms

Free and fast shipping improves both Cassini placement and Best Match ordering.

Title Keyword Density

eBay allows 80 title characters and rewards precise, specific keyword use far more than descriptive marketing language.

FAQ

eBay SEO Questions

How much does eBay SEO cost?
eBay optimization prices below Amazon and Walmart because listings are simpler and turnaround is faster. Expect $80-$250 per listing at market, with store-level retainers around $800-$2,500 monthly. Our published packages start at $149 for a single listing and scale down per unit in volume packs. Managed retainers run $1,450 per month.
How long until eBay rankings improve?
Listing changes are typically re-indexed by eBay within 24 to 72 hours. Ranking movement usually becomes visible within 2 to 4 weeks as the algorithm gathers new conversion and click data against the optimized listing. Competitive categories take longer because incumbent listings have deeper sales history.
What is the Cassini algorithm?
Cassini is eBay's search ranking system. It weights relevance signals from your listing content against performance signals such as conversion rate and seller quality. Our optimization work addresses both sides: making listings eligible for more queries, then improving the conversion signals that determine placement among eligible listings.
Do you handle eBay advertising as well?
We coordinate organic optimization with your advertising rather than managing ad spend directly. Ad-driven sales feed the velocity signals that lift organic rank, so the two need to target the same keyword set. We supply the keyword architecture your ad team or agency should bid against.
Can you optimize listings across multiple marketplaces?
Yes. Most of our marketplace clients sell on two or more platforms. We maintain a single keyword and attribute source of truth, then adapt copy, character limits, and structured data to each platform's requirements rather than copy-pasting between them.
What if I have hundreds of eBay listings?
Per-listing pricing stops making sense past roughly 50 SKUs. At that scale we switch to a managed retainer with templated bulk optimization, prioritizing your highest-revenue listings for manual work while systematically improving the long tail.
Do you write the product copy yourself?
Yes. All copy is written by humans on our marketplace team, reviewed by an editor, and approved by you before it goes live. We never publish anything to your account without sign-off.
Is there a guarantee?
We guarantee delivery of the specified scope. No ethical provider can guarantee specific marketplace rankings because the algorithms are controlled by the platform and influenced by competitor behaviour, pricing, and inventory that sit outside our control.
