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 :-)

I want a good keyword researcher, not for min sites but for tech articles. Hit me up if you've got those skillz!

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.
