Hi Preeti

Do we have a listing upgrade wherein My Listing comes on top of regular listings in item search results? If not are there any plans for such a feature?

Hi avertek_infosys

Yes we do have a listing upgrade called Featured Plus Listing

The featured plus listing feature prioritizes your listing in the List view. Once a buyer clicks on a category page for the item he is looking to buy, “Featured Plus” listing appear on the top of the list view (default view) page.

Featured Plus in Search
When a buyer uses the search feature to find a product on the site, your listing appears at the top of all other listings on the Search Results page.

Dear Preeti

Thanks for the reply.But my experince is that whenver I use "Featured Plus" my listing comes on top in the catagory browsing but in search results it still comes on the 4th or 5th Page.

Hi

One more question. If I use "Home Page Featured upgrade" will my listings come on top of "Featured Plus" lsitings in the catagory browsing and search ersults?

Dear avertek_infosys,

Yes, you are absolutely right, the featured plus listings appear on the top in Category Browsing however in search results the default logic sorts listings by the ending soon time.

On the Search results page the buyer also has an option to sort listings by Price, Distance or PaisaPay.

However with any kind of sort the Featured listings based on that sort criteria always appear first and then the regular listings appear.

Dear avertek_infosys

If you use homepage featured for your listing, the Listings will appear in the Featured products listings however it will not appear above the Featured Plus Listings.

Thanks a lot for your replies. My suggestion is to come up with an upgrade by which the listing comes on top in the search results above regular listings by default. Most of the sellers I know are looking for such a feature
