Listing Signals

The badges and seller signals that surface quality on each listing card.

Overview

Result cards on igitems can carry up to two signals. Deal labels highlight listings that stand out for value within their category, in categories where our value calculators are connected. Seller signals about the person behind the listing sit alongside on every card, with the full methodology on the Seller Stats page. Together they let you size up a card without opening it.
01

Deal Labels

Three tiers of badge can appear on a listing card in categories that have valuation scoring enabled. Each tier reflects where the listing sits in its category's deal ranking.

Top 3%
Best Deal
Top tier
Top 3–12%
Great Deal
Top 12–24%
Smart Deal

Most listings won't carry a badge. That's not a quality verdict. It only means the listing isn't in the upper band of its category's current distribution.

A

How badges are distributed

Badges go to the best-value listings in each category. Only sellers with strong community standing qualify. Three inputs combine to determine which listings make the cut:

  1. 1
    Primary

    A value-to-price ratio: nominal value (from the category's public calculator) divided by its asking price.

  2. 2
    Floor

    The ratio weighted by the seller's community rating so strong sellers outrank weak ones at the same price point. Very low ratings are compressed aggressively, effectively gating those sellers out of the upper tiers.

  3. 3
    Tiebreaker

    A small, capped bonus from the seller's level. Nudges similarly-scored listings from longer-tenured sellers higher without letting tenure alone out-rank a stronger listing.

Operational rules

  1. 1
    Per category

    igitems calculates tier cutoffs within each category, not across the whole site. The top 3% in one category is not the same absolute score as the top 3% in another. This keeps the badges meaningful when scores cluster low or high.

  2. 2
    Refresh

    Thresholds recompute every few hours. As listings enter and leave a category, an existing listing's tier can shift with the distribution.

  3. 3
    Pool floor

    Categories need at least 50 qualifying listings before any badge shows. In a very small category, the top 3% might be a single listing, and the badge wouldn't carry the comparative meaning it implies. Badges stay hidden until the percentile cutoffs become informative.

C

Where the badge appears

The badge sits in the top-left corner of the listing card as an icon-only pill by default. Tap or click it to expand and reveal the tier label (Best Deal, Great Deal, or Smart Deal).

Clash of Clans accounts — deal-label badges and seller signals show on each listing card. Real cards add an image, link to the product, and may show additional attribute chips.

Other card signals

Beyond the badge, each card surfaces two more signals you can read at a glance. Both also factor into how listings rank. Full definitions live on the dedicated Seller Stats page.

A

Community rating

Display. Footer right, shown as a star icon plus the seller's numeric community rating (for example, 4.93).

Role in scoring. Carries the most weight of the seller signals that feed the deal score. Very low ratings are compressed aggressively, effectively gating those sellers out of the upper deal tiers.

B

Delivery time

Display. Footer right, shown as a lightning bolt plus the delivery duration (for example, "Instant" or "10m").

Role in scoring. Automated delivery ranks above manual as a Top Picks tiebreaker. See Discovery for the full sort logic.

※Seller level adds a small capped tenure bonus to scoring but isn't shown on the card. Community sentiment doesn't feed the deal score and is visible only on the seller profile. See Seller Stats for both.

※Attribute chips below the title describe what the listing offers, like level, region, or what's included. They're configured per category and power most filter values on the results grid. The card shows a curated subset. The full attribute set plus the seller's description lives on the product page. See Discovery for how filters use them.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A

Ce înseamnă insigna Cea mai bună ofertă pe un anunț igitems?

Cea mai bună ofertă marchează primele 3% dintre anunțurile dintr-o categorie după raportul valoare-preț estimat de calculator, ponderat de evaluarea comunității pentru vânzător. Ofertă excelentă reprezintă următoarele 9%, iar Ofertă inteligentă următoarele 12%. Insignele apar doar în categoriile cu scor de valoare corectă activat și cel puțin 50 de anunțuri eligibile în listă.

B

De ce nu toate anunțurile de pe igitems au insigna Cea mai bună ofertă?

Se aplică două condiții. Categoria trebuie să aibă configurat scorul de valoare corectă, iar lista trebuie să conțină cel puțin 50 de anunțuri eligibile înainte de a fi afișată vreo insignă. Într-o listă eligibilă, doar primele 24% dintre anunțuri obțin unul dintre cele trei niveluri, prin design.

C

Un anunț cu Cea mai bună ofertă are întotdeauna cel mai mic preț din categorie?

Nu. Cea mai bună ofertă se bazează pe raportul valoare-preț, nu pe prețul brut. Un anunț cu preț mai mare, dar cu statistici solide, poate obține un scor mai mare decât un anunț mai ieftin cu statistici mai slabe, deoarece insigna recompensează valoarea per dolar, nu cel mai mic preț afișat.

D

Cum afectează evaluarea comunității pentru vânzător insigna Cea mai bună ofertă?

Evaluarea comunității are o pondere mare în scorul ofertei, astfel încât un anunț de la un vânzător cu 4,8 stele poate câștiga titlul de Cea mai bună ofertă în fața unui anunț puțin mai ieftin de la un vânzător cu 3 stele. Ponderea este suficient de semnificativă încât vânzătorii cu evaluări foarte mici apar rar în nivelurile superioare, chiar și la prețuri competitive.
