Listing upgrade – Featured First

Want a chance of enhanced visibility on the first page of search results? Featured First gives you an opportunity – but no certainty – to have your listing appear on the first page of search results in the Featured Items section. 

Duration

You can either purchase a seven-day duration of Featured First, or you can choose to have it last until your listing ends.

Good 'Til Cancelled Listings

If you have a Good 'Til Cancelled listing, you can add or remove the Featured First option at any time during the listing. You can add the seven-day duration to give your listing a temporary "boost", or you can add Featured First for the entire duration. If you add Featured First for the entire duration, the Featured First option will renew every 30 days, but you can cancel it at any time.

How it works

  • If you purchase Featured First, each time a buyer enters search criteria that may result in your listing appearing in the search results, there is a chance that your listing will appear on the first page of search results.

  • When the buyer performs this search, a number of Featured First listings will be randomly selected to appear on the first page of search results in the Featured Items section.

  • Your listing will have a chance to be randomly selected to appear in the Featured area as long as you maintain a Standard or Raised Search Standing – until the Featured First option expires.

  • If your Search Standing falls to "Lowered" during the duration of your Featured First option, your items will be excluded from the random selection. However, if your search standing improves again before the Featured First option expires, your listing will again have the chance to be randomly selected.

  • If you are a new seller you might not have enough feedback to have a Seller Dashboard yet. In this case, you can contact eBay Customer Support and find out your current Seller Search Standing.
