The Listing Quality Report
What is the Listing Quality Report?
The Listing Quality Report is a downloadable Excel document that provides you with analysis — at listing and category level — of your 10 categories with the most live listings.
Importantly, it provides specific actions you can take to optimise your listings and categories, with the aim of boosting your views, impressions and sales. It has been designed with input from the seller community.
Why does listing quality matter?
Improving listing quality is one key way to improve your ranking and search impressions. Fully optimised listings generally benefit from greater visibility and can help increase sales.

How do we generate the recommendations?
Good to know!
We make our recommendations by comparing your listings, in quality and content, to other listings in this category that perform well throughout the sales funnel.
It’s then up to you to decide if you wish to adopt any of these recommendations - you’re in control!
The Listing Quality Report is a new tool designed for eBay business sellers. It is constantly evolving and being improved in line with seller feedback.
It currently only covers buy-it-now items and single SKU listings. But watch this space for changes and updates!
