How often can I bump the same listing?

Each listing can be bumped once every 24 hours. After you bump it, the bump button shows a countdown until it's ready again. Other listings you own are not affected, so you can bump a different item straight away.

Do bump credits expire?

No. Bump credits sit on your balance until you use them, and you can apply them to any active listing at any time.

What's the difference between bumping and featuring a listing?

Featuring is a promotion you buy when you create a listing to give it standout placement. Bumping is something you do later with a credit to re-surface an active listing at the top of its category once newer listings have pushed it down.

Where do I buy bump credits?

Go to Profile, open Bumps Credits, and tap Add bump credits. Credits are sold in three packs: 1 credit, 5 credits or 10 credits, and the larger packs cost less per bump. Current prices are shown in the app when you pick a pack, before you confirm.

Bumping a listing

What a bump does

When you post an item it sits at the top of its category, but every new listing after it pushes yours a little further down. Spending one bump credit re-surfaces that listing at the top of its category feed, so it gets seen again without you having to relist. Featured listings still sit above the general feed, so think of a bump as getting you back to the front of the queue among the standard listings.

How to bump a listing

You can bump from Profile > My Listings. On the Active tab, each listing has a bump button in its action row showing how many credits you have. Tap it to spend one credit and send that listing back to the top. You can also bump straight from the listing's own owner actions.

One bump per listing every 24 hours. After you bump a listing, that listing goes on a 24 hour cooldown and its bump button shows a countdown until it's ready again. The cooldown is per listing, so you're free to bump a different active listing in the meantime.

Buying bump credits

Bump credits are bought in packs. Go to Profile > Bumps Credits to see your balance, then tap Add bump credits and choose a pack. Packs come in three sizes: 1 credit, 5 credits or 10 credits, and the bigger packs work out cheaper per bump. Current prices are shown in the app when you pick a pack, before you confirm. Credits land on your balance and can be used on any active listing, any time: there's no need to decide upfront which listing to spend them on.

You can review every bump you've spent under Bump history on the same screen.

Bump vs featured: which should I use?

They solve different problems:

Featured is a promotion you choose when you create (or edit) a listing. It buys standout placement from the start.
Bumping is something you do later, with a credit, to re-surface an active listing at the top of its category once it has drifted down the feed.

In short: feature a listing to launch it with more visibility, and bump it to keep it visible over the days that follow. Learn more about promotions in free, featured and featured max listings.
