Get A Boost In Best Match! Relist Your Multi-Quantity Item

Recent sales will start to factor into Best Match  sorting in mid-September, but the tracking starts now.

We think recent sales is a great way to tell a great listing, so we're going to start boosting those listings in search. If you start listing in multi-quantity  now and then  continue to relist those items when they expire,  you'll start accumulating a "recent sales" score reflecting the recent purchases of that item. When the feature is turned on, you start reaping the  rewards.

Forget to relist? You’ve got a couple of days to get that  item back up on the site and keep your score. Remember, you must do it as a  "relist" to have your score carry over. And you can't make major changes to the listing (for example, changes to title, category, condition, increasing price,  etc.).
