The why

Nothing tells you how many fields you have left empty

eBay matches a buyer’s filters against structured fields, not against your prose. The fields most often missing are the ones doing that work.

01

Item specifics decide whether a listing is eligible to appear

Brand, MPN, Size, Colour, Type. When a buyer narrows a category down with the left-hand filters, a listing with the field empty is not in the running - however good the description is.

02

Knowing is not the same as fixing

eBay’s own Listings Quality Report will tell you which listings have missing item specifics or item attributes, and it is a genuinely useful report. It is also a download: to act on it you go back to eBay and work listing by listing.

03

The missing item specifics are never in one place

They are spread across categories, formats and several years of changing listing habits, which is exactly the shape of problem that defeats a manual pass.

04

It is the long tail that suffers

Your best listings get attention. The other few thousand are where the empty fields live, quietly not appearing in searches you will never know you lost.

Open one of your own older listings and look at the item specifics panel. How many of those fields are filled? Now ask how many of the other few thousand look the same - that is the number worth knowing, and finding it out costs nothing.

What’s in it for you

Three things you get back

Findability you can act on

Issues arrive grouped by type and by category, so you are looking at one class of problem across thousands of listings rather than working down a list.

Suggestions on screen, not in a spreadsheet

Every missing specific across every live listing, with an AI-generated suggestion beside it, on the page you are already on. Seeing all of that is free.

Proof it did something

Optimisation Tracking follows impressions and views on listings after they have been optimised, so the loop closes instead of ending at “done”.

The feature

Scan → Choose → Apply

The Optimiser is a dashboard inside your Frooition account. The first two steps are free and uncapped; nothing is written to eBay until you choose to apply.

Step one

Scan

Reads every live listing and counts the item specifics and item attributes that eBay expects for the category and your listing has left empty. Never capped, never charged.

Step two

Choose

Filter by category and by issue type until you are looking at one class of problem rather than a mixed list. Suggestions are shown for free.

Step three

Apply

Bulk Manual Fix to review and edit each suggestion yourself, or Bulk AutoFix to spend credits and have them written. One credit does one listing.

The detail

Four tools, one dashboard

The Optimiser shares its dashboard with three related tools. Same list of your listings, different question asked of it.

Listing Optimiser

  • Missing item attributes
  • Filter by category
  • Filter by issue type
  • Bulk Manual Fix
  • Bulk AutoFix

End & Relist

  • Listings live 3+ weeks with no sales
  • A reviewable queue, not an automatic action
  • Fix before relisting rather than reposting unchanged

Price Comparison

  • Flags listings worth price-checking
  • Check them against the market individually

Optimisation Tracking

  • Impressions after a change
  • Views after a change
  • Covers optimised, relisted and revised listings

Sits alongside

  • Bulk Revision for catalogue-wide edits
  • Auto Relister for the automated version of End & Relist
On compliance: Frooition does not report on your eBay compliance status, and we don’t claim to. Some compliance-related fields can be edited in bulk through Bulk Revision - that is a different thing from telling you whether your catalogue complies.
Checked one listing? Now check the rest. A free Frooition account runs the eBay Listing Optimiser across every live listing you have.
A free Frooition account scans every live listing you have, uncapped, and shows you the same missing item specifics and item attributes across the whole catalogue. Nothing to install, nothing to undo.

The benefit

Most advice stops at “fix your item specifics”

That sentence has been in every eBay guide for a decade. It is correct and it is useless on its own, because it does not tell you which listings, which fields, or whether it worked.

  • Which listingsThe scan names them, grouped by the field that is missing, across the whole catalogue.
  • Which fieldsBy category, because what eBay expects differs by category.
  • Whether it workedOptimisation Tracking follows impressions and views afterwards.

Two ways to apply, deliberately

Bulk Manual FixYou see each suggestion and decide. Slower, and the right choice where the category matters or the data is messy.
Bulk AutoFixSpends credits and writes the suggestions. Faster, and the right choice for a large, consistent set.
Finding is always freeBoth the scan and the suggestions cost nothing. A credit is only ever spent writing a change to a live listing.

A familiar shape

The listing that was never wrong, just incomplete

A product you know sells. Good photographs, an honest description, a fair price. It has been live for two years and it does almost nothing.

Nothing about it is wrong. It is simply not eligible for the searches that would find it, because the Brand field is empty and the buyer narrowed the category by brand before they ever saw a listing.

You would not find that by looking at the listing. It looks fine. You find it by scanning the catalogue for one missing item attribute and discovering that eighteen hundred listings have the same one.

An empty item specific never flags anywhere. It just sits there being empty.

So how many of yours are sitting empty? That is a free question to answer, and it takes one item number.

The bit that’s usually missing

What it costs

Free to find, paid to apply - and the free part is the whole diagnosis, not a teaser. Whether a tool is included shouldn’t take three clicks and a form to find out.

Free · no account

Single item check

£Free

Paste in one eBay item number and see what is missing from it. No account, no eBay connection, and the single-item PDF is free to download. This is the box at the top of this page.

Free · with an account

Whole catalogue scan

£Free

Connect your eBay account and the scan covers every live listing you have, uncapped - Buy It Now and auctions up to the first bid, which is where eBay itself stops allowing revisions. Finding is never capped and never charged.

Paid · one plan

Boost Basic

£30/month +VAT

£300/year +VAT · US $46/month, $460/year

One plan covering the paid tools, including 25 AutoFix Credits a month. Applying changes to live listings is the paid step - by subscription, by credits, or by a quoted managed service.

This tool specifically: The scan is free and uncapped, on one listing with no account or on the whole catalogue with a free account. Missing specifics and AI suggestions are shown for free. Applying them is 1 credit per listing, or included in Boost Basic up to its monthly allowance.
One credit per listing, not per field. A listing with three missing specifics costs one credit if they are fixed in one pass. A credit is never charged for a finding, and never for a write eBay refuses - refused writes are refunded.
AutoFix Credits are £1 per credit +VAT (US $1.33), 10% off from 100 and 15% off from 500, bought as a one-off rather than a subscription. One credit does one action on one listing - and a credit is only ever spent writing a change to a live listing, never on finding something. Boost Basic includes 25 a month, 300 on the annual plan.
Quoted after an assessment, not priced here: a sixth eBay account and beyond, catalogue imports above 10,000 listings, template design beyond 500 listings and FrooSync, Listing Rescue and inventory work. Onboarding is a separate professional service - the first half hour free, then £50/hour for new clients.

FAQ

eBay Listing Optimiser questions

What exactly does it scan for?
The item specifics and item attributes that eBay expects for the category and your listing has left empty - Brand, MPN, Size, Colour, Type and so on, depending on where the listing sits.
Is the scan really free?
Yes, and it is uncapped. One listing needs no account at all. The whole catalogue needs a free account with your eBay connection enabled. Seeing what is wrong is free at every tier - we only charge for writing a change to a live listing.
What does it cover?
Every live listing: Buy It Now, and auctions up to the first bid. After a bid lands eBay blocks revisions on that listing, so it is out of reach for any tool.
What’s the difference between Bulk Manual Fix and Bulk AutoFix?
Manual shows you each suggestion and lets you review and edit before anything is applied. Auto spends credits and writes them for you. Manual costs time; Auto costs credits.
How much does applying a fix cost?
One credit per listing per pass - not per field. Credits are £1 each +VAT, 10% off from 100 and 15% off from 500, and Boost Basic includes 25 a month. If eBay refuses a write, that credit comes back.
Will this make my listings rank higher?
We won’t promise that. Completing item specifics affects whether a listing is eligible to appear in filtered searches at all, which is a different and more defensible claim than a position on a results page.
How do I know whether it actually helped?
Optimisation Tracking, on the same dashboard, follows impressions and views for listings after they have been optimised, relisted or revised.
How is this different from Bulk Revision?
The Optimiser finds what is wrong and fixes that specific class of problem. Bulk Revision makes a change you have already decided on, across thousands of listings, without relisting. Most sellers end up using both.
