What is The Oblist Ads?

The Oblist Ads is a way to give your best pieces more visibility on The Oblist.

Written by The Oblist

You choose the pieces you want to push, and we boost them up the rankings — so they appear higher in the collections and searches where collectors are already browsing, instead of being further down the page. Boosted pieces also carry a discreet “Featured” label that buyers recognise.

The key idea: you only pay when you sell

There is nothing to pay upfront and no fixed fee. In exchange for the extra visibility, you accept a slightly higher commission — but only on the pieces you feature, and only when they actually sell. If a featured piece doesn’t sell, it costs you nothing.

Your total commission is always capped at 40%, whatever tier you pick.

What you can do

  • Feature selected pieces or your entire catalogue.

  • Choose a tier: Boost or Premium (see Boost vs Premium — and what you pay).

  • Track what it brings you (clicks, impressions, sales) from your dashboard.

  • Pause anytime. Each run lasts up to 30 days with no auto-renewal.

What it is not

  • It’s not a way to buy a fixed position — ranking still depends on relevance, availability and demand, and no exact position is ever guaranteed.

  • It’s not a separate subscription or an upfront ad budget.
