How are offers and listings ranked?

How listing position is decided on AccountShark, which signals move it up, and why placement cannot be bought.

When you list on AccountShark your listing sits alongside others in the same game and category, and its position is decided by a merit-based ranking algorithm with no paid placement, so nobody can buy a higher spot. What moves a listing up is the record behind it: completed orders, deliveries that land on time, quick replies, and listings that are properly filled in.

📈 What the algorithm rewards

Ranking weighs the signals that predict a smooth, trustworthy sale:

  • Seller rating and feedback volume from completed orders.

  • Order completion rate.

  • On-time delivery, measured against the timeframe you stated.

  • Chat response speed when a buyer asks something.

  • Listing completeness and quality: fields filled in, clear images, a full description.

  • Competitive pricing for the same item. The number is yours to choose, and one that fits the value your proof shows will rank better.

  • Recent activity, so current listings stay visible.

  • A verified track record built up over time.

✅ New here? New sellers start from a fair position rather than the bottom of the page, so you get a real chance at your first orders. Deliver those well and the feedback they generate is what lifts you from there.


⚖️ What ranking cannot do

There is no paid placement, in any game or category, and no way to pay to appear higher. Ranking reads how you actually sell, so manipulated feedback or another seller's images push you down rather than up, and a listing built that way can be removed.

Seller penalties lower your position as well. Seller penalties sets out what triggers them.

Frequently asked questions
