What is Bump?
We want to help you sell better. Get your listings noticed now with a Bump!
Bumps help increase the visibility of your items on the marketplace by updating your listing time to when the bump took place. As listing time is a significant component in our best match search and browse algorithms, bumped listings get ranked higher. Listings that have been bumped are most noticeable when the "recent" sort filter is applied.
