How Great Price works
eBay may automatically pin a Great Price badge on eligible listings that are competitively priced and in high demand on eBay, determined by factors such as sales history, search impressions, and engagement. The Great Price badge is not a paid feature and you don’t need to opt in to qualify.
Great Price badge eligibility
Eligibility for a Great Price badge is determined by a combination of factors, such as:
- Seller performance. Sellers must be in good standing with Above Standard or Top Rated status. If you’re new to eBay, you can begin working toward eBay Above Standard and Top Rated status the first time you list an item
- Competitive pricing. Use Terapeak, the exclusive eBay insights tool in the Seller Hub Research tab, to get competitive insights and price your items accordingly. eBay pricing guidance within the selling flow may also be helpful
- Item specifics and product identifiers. Help buyers find your items fast by providing complete item specifics and product identifiers when you list
- New or certified refurbished items that match products in the eBay catalog. Items must be in new or certified refurbished condition and associated with similar products in the eBay catalog and include the corresponding product identifiers
- Other eligibility factors. Additional eligibility criteria may include an item’s combined price and shipping cost, listing format, sales history, relevance to a buyer’s search terms, and the eBay site they’re browsing. Placement of listings in buyers’ search results is subject to Best Match factors. Best Match is designed to show the most relevant listings, taking into account the things users find most important when they’re deciding what to buy
Review your listings regularly to make sure they’re optimized for Best Price, including pricing reviews and adding promotions for your buyers.
