Follow these best practices to list faster and help interested buyers find your items:
Whenever you can, use product details (formerly called pre-filled item information), now available for more and more categories. Plus, for new items, you can use a free stock photo.
Add product details to multiple listings at one time when bulk editing or bulk relisting.
Boost your exposure by using the Item Specific options when describing your item. Add your own item attributes if they’re not available.

Make sure you list in the right categories so buyers can find your listings. Listing in the wrong category could also result in your listings being taken down.
