Information Density: eBay – Signal Evidence & AI Readability

eBay

(https://www.ebay.com) 📸 Data Snapshot: May 16, 2026
Information Density — The Lens

Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.

Info Density Power-words vs. Substance ratio.

The site exhibits high heading fluff saturation, with repetitive H4 markers like Top categories and the misspelled Additonal categories appearing 11 times across the homepage alone. Body substance is extremely low as the clean_text for the sub-pages consists almost entirely of technical browser-check messages rather than product data. Marketing headers like Luxury looks at up to 50% off use power words without describing the specific items or the methodology of the discount. The overall ratio of specific nouns to generic navigational labels is poor, suggesting a site that prioritizes structural templates over information-rich content.

Information Density is read straight from the body copy: how much of the text carries grounded, checkable substance versus hollow filler. Below is the clean text the engine analyzed, then the industry’s known generic-claim patterns to weigh it against.
