Marketplace Algorithm
The proprietary system each platform uses to rank listings in search results and browse feeds. Factors typically considered: listing completeness (titles, specifics, photos), seller metrics (feedback, defect rate, dispatch speed), price competitiveness, and engagement signals (clicks, likes, watches). Algorithms are not fully disclosed by platforms. The practical implication for resellers: complete listings with accurate titles, good photos, and clean seller metrics rank better organically without paid promotion.
