eBay have launched their AI-Powered Listing Tool, which simplifies the listing experience and is designed to make selling easier and faster for private sellers on the mobile app. The tool, which integrates eBay’s magical listing technology with a guided, mobile-friendly listing flow, streamlines the listing process with a photo-first experience, reducing the time and effort required to create compelling listings.
The launch of this simplified listing experience is a part of eBay’s commitment to AI innovation, enabling sellers to be successful and grow their business, and helping buyers discover more of the things they love. This complements other ways eBay enables sellers to be successful and grow their businesses, including:
- eBay Advertising: With the redesigned Advertising dashboard, eBay offers sellers access to personalized insights and AI tools that provide recommendations designed to optimize advertising campaigns, increase listing visibility, and lay the foundation for strong business growth.
- Payments & Financial Services: eBay delivers trusted, seamless, and relevant payments and financial services experiences for both sellers and buyers, providing more flexibility in how customers pay and get paid.
eBay AI-Powered Listing Tool
The eBay AI-Powered Listing experience now integrates eBay’s magical listing technology, which allows sellers to take or upload a product image and use AI to help fill in item specifics. And, eBay has further simplified the experience with a guided, mobile-friendly listing flow. Where the previous mobile listing flow started with a text-based search for similar listings within eBay’s catalog for sellers to edit and customize, this new experience starts with photos and a title. It then leverages AI automation, maximizing image match and inference capabilities to suggest product details and suitable categories according to eBay’s guided, task-focused pages, so the seller can review and approve content and list more quickly.
This new flow has led to higher quality and efficiency in the listing process. Early testing in the U.K. shows that the new, streamlined experience has led to a 50% reduction in the total steps needed to list and faster listing times. Accuracy of item specifics will also continue to improve over time as updates are made throughout the year.
Other recent launches include the “magical” bulk listing tool, which uses AI to process hundreds of photos per batch and create multiple listing drafts simultaneously for sellers using Seller Hub in the U.S., U.K. and Germany. The background enhancement tool leverages generative AI to allow sellers to quickly and easily showcase their products against a variety of AI-generated backgrounds. And within eBay advertising tools, AI is powering daily, customized tips to help sellers optimize their campaigns and improve ad effectiveness.
The simplified listing tool is now available in the eBay mobile app in the U.S., U.K., and Germany for private sellers across all categories. Stay tuned as eBay have plans to expand to sellers using business tools.
