A quality checklist for marketplace listings

Required buyer information

A strong listing answers the buyer's main questions without requiring a private message.

• Specific title and category
• Original description
• Current price and currency
• Availability or event date
• Location or service area
• Clear images
• Seller and policy links
• Accurate last-updated date

Signals to avoid

Thin duplicated descriptions, keyword stuffing, stock images presented as the real item, expired availability and unverifiable claims reduce trust for both buyers and automated systems.

Review regularly

Remove sold or unavailable items promptly. Update meaningful changes in place so the canonical URL keeps its history, and use a new URL only when the item itself is genuinely different.
