Is it true Google doesnt index eBay auction pages? If so, why don't they?

Ebay don't get any love.

Maybe one day they will, but I hope not :-)

They want ebay to continue paying for adwords ads for every keyword known to man.

Also, auction pages are temporary by design.

i have had auction pages indexed... search ebay and then a keyword you will see indexed auctions...

Just use the same tricks to get them indexed as you would with a normal website.

I see ebay auction pages in SERPS all the time. Depends on what you're searching. Since they generally aren't very 'strong' pages, their either very low-placed, or on searches without many other pages.

There used to be some type of arrangement between eBay and google back a while back.

Used to be that if you upgraded your item with Featured Plus then you had a chance for your item showing up in Google Serps.

I tried it in Nov of 2007 when I was still selling on Ebay directly, and it worked then.

I dunno if the same applies now though.

You had to have the keywords in your auction's title of course.

Hi,
I do a bit of selling on Ebay and would like to know how to do the Google thing.

Would it help to get more buyers?

I would appreciate it if anyone could enlighten me about how to...

I don't know about Google, but I see eBay and Amazon listings in Yahoo SERPs all the time. Try searching for a specific product and see what turns up. I think the time I saw them was last week when searching for a wireless router.

Ebay listings show up, but someone has to search for a specific item
for sale or auction, I'm sure. Try it yourself. Do a google
search for mickey mouse figurine auction and I can bet a
whole slew of ebay pages show up. I know in the past when
I wanted info on a specific collectible item, I got many ebay
item pages.
