Question Re: Promoted Listing Unavailable? in Selling on eBay DND

Promoted Listing Unavailable?

jahrling-watch-straps — Sat, 06 Jun 2020 16:11:00 GMT

Hi, I'm trying to understand how to promote my listings. I'm a private seller and have only recently (within last two weeks) been using eBay again after quite a break.

When I go the 'Marketing' tab in the Seller Hub, and then click on 'Promoted Listings' I'm taken to the page about how to become eligible for promoted listings https://pls.ebay.co.uk/plsweb/ineligible

My current seller level is 'Above Standard' so I'm struggling to understand why 'Promoted listings' isn't available to me. Is it because I need to be more active (sell more items) over a longer period of time before the option becomes available?

Grateful for any help. I've tried looking for the answers online and read through the eBay help pages on 'Promoted Listings' but haven't been able to find the answer.

Thanks

Have you read this and clicked on the "promote your listings".

I would have thought that before even thinking of doing this you should work out how many items you must sell to make it worth paying more that a 10% Selling Fee.

With low value items paying a higher selling fee seems hardly worth while. Whatever ebay says your items are hardly likely to sell any faster when there are the really big sellers in competition, who can and do swamp the market..

Hi, thanks for replying. As I mentioned in my post though, when I click on 'Promote your listings' in the seller Hub I get the page which I linked to in my original post. The same thing happens when I click on the link you provided. Therefore it seems that I'm not eligible and what I'm trying to understand is how I become eligible.
