Boost your listings with Bumps!

What is a Bump?

A Bump refreshes your listing by updating its posting time to the moment the Bump is applied.

Since listings are ranked in search results based on how recently they were posted, this means your item will appear higher—especially when buyers sort by “Recent.”

This increased visibility helps your item get noticed by more potential buyers, leading to a higher chance of sales.

Why Use Bumps?

Proven Returns

Our data shows that a Bump reaches up to 90% more buyers and prompts up to 40% more chats, more than doubling your chances of a sale.

Flexible Choices

There are different options that you can choose from, depending on how quickly you’d like to make a sale.

Always-On Visibility

Smart Bump automatically refreshes your listings multiple times a day to stay near the top, without any manual action. More eyes, less effort.

Full Control

To save time and plan in advance, you can customise your Bumps by choosing specific days and frequency of Bumps.

Types of Bumps Explained

1. Regular Bumps

  • Bump once, instantly: A quick and instant boost that you can repeat at any time
  • Bump daily for 3 days: One boost per day, scheduled at the same time for 3 days consecutively
  • Bump twice a day for 3 days:  Two boosts that are 3 hours apart per day, scheduled at the same time for 3 days consecutively
  • Bump daily for 7 days: One boost per day, scheduled at the same time for 7 days consecutively

2. Smart Bumps

Smart Bump keeps your listing near the top of search results automatically, within your set budget. It’s ideal for sellers who want consistent visibility without manual effort.

Your listing is only bumped when it drops below its optimal position—helping you get the most exposure for your money. Bumps are spaced out and paused between 2AM–6AM to maximise efficiency.

3. Customised Bumps

Customise Bumps lets you schedule Bumps in advance—choose the days, times, and frequency that suit you. Save time and keep your listings visible with minimal effort. 

Step 1: Click “Choose Bumps” on the Promote page and then click “Customise your Bumps”

Step 2: Select day(s), frequency and week(s) to Bump

*Each Bump will launch at the same time as the time-stamp of your purchase.

Bumps have moved to a postpaid model. Here’s what this means for you:
