Weekly eBay store performance report in your inbox
Every Monday, get a plain-English report on your eBay store's sales, listing traffic, conversion trends, and Promoted Listings ROI, with clear moves to make next.
Every Monday at 9:00am, generate a weekly performance report for my eBay store and email it to me. Target my primary eBay marketplace and cover the last completed 7 days, comparing them against the previous 7 days so you can report week-over-week movement.
Gather the data first. Use eBay's Get Traffic Report to pull listing traffic and conversion metrics (listing impressions, listing page views, click-through, and sales conversion rate) for the past 7 days, and again for the prior 7 days so you have a baseline. Use Get Orders, filtered by order creation date within the last 7 days, to retrieve the week's sales including order totals, quantities, and which listings sold. Use Get Ads to pull my Promoted Listings ad performance for the same period, capturing impressions, clicks, ad-attributed sales, and ad spend.
Then write a narrative report, not a raw data dump. Cover: my top listings by views and my top listings by sales; how overall conversion moved week over week and which listings drove the change; and whether Promoted Listings ad spend is actually driving incremental sales rather than just extra clicks, by comparing ad-attributed sales and spend against organic sales. Call out anything that stands out, like a high-traffic listing that barely converts.
Finish with two or three concrete, specific recommendations. For example: which listings to promote or bid up because they convert well but lack views; where conversion is lagging and the most likely reason (price, photos, title keywords, or shipping); and what to fix in a specific title or price. Reference the actual listings and numbers so the advice is actionable, and never edit any listing, price, or campaign yourself.
Deliver the report by email. Use Gmail's Create a Draft to build the report as a well-formatted email addressed to me with a clear subject line such as 'eBay weekly report: <date range>', then use Send a Draft to send that draft to my inbox. Keep the report skimmable with short sections and headers so I can read it in a couple of minutes.
Example output
Additional information
What does this prompt do?
- Every Monday morning, pulls the past week of your eBay listing traffic, orders, and Promoted Listings ad results, and compares them to the week before.
- Writes a narrative report: your top listings by views and by sales, and how conversion moved week over week and why.
- Judges whether your Promoted Listings ad spend is actually driving extra sales, not just extra clicks.
- Ends with two or three concrete moves (which listings to promote, where conversion is lagging, what to fix in a title or price) and emails the whole thing to your inbox.
What do I need to use this?
- An eBay seller account, ideally with Promoted Listings running so the ad section has data.
- A Gmail account to receive the report.
- That's it. Once set up, the report writes and sends itself every week.
How can I customize it?
- Change the day and time it runs, for example Sunday evening instead of Monday morning.
- Send it to more than one address, like a business partner or a virtual assistant.
- Shift the focus, such as leaning harder on ad ROI or on your slow-moving listings.
