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 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.
