What is Bump?
Boost your listings with Bumps!
What is a Bump?
A Bump updates your listing time to the moment the Bump happens. Since listing time is a key factor in how items are ranked in search results, Bumped listings appear higher—especially when buyers sort by "Recent."
By doing so, Bumps help your listings get more exposure. Want to see the difference? You can track how your listing performs with Listing Insights after applying a Bump.
Important Update: Bumps Are Now on a Postpaid Model

What happens when I reserve my listing midway through an ongoing Bump?
Subsequent Bumps will still take place as scheduled, however, the reserved listing will not be searchable in the marketplace. Once your listing is unreserved, the listing will be positioned according to the latest bumped time.
Why is my Bump campaign skipped?
If you have insufficient Coins for your next Bump, your listing won’t be Bumped. To resume Bumps on your listing, you’ll need to top up your Coin balance.
To avoid interruptions, we recommend turning on Coins auto top-up so your Bumps continue running smoothly.
What will cause my Bump campaign to end?
Your Bump campaign will end if upon a change in listing category or when your listing has been marked as sold, deleted or expired.

How long will a Bump last?
A Bump is an instant effect that brings your listing to the top of the marketplace. After which, it will behave like a normal listing and be moved down as new listings are added.
Do Bumps guarantee a sale?
