Flurry of sales sort of
It’s probably nothing but after having one sale a month or so for months on end I got five in last few days and I wondered what’s going on ? admittedly I promoted a few of them but not all but I’d promoted others before and nothing happened so I’m go...
Some thoughts about the new 'promoted listings' scam, and what you can do about it.
This is a long one with some important advice (in my opinion) towards the bottom. It's worth reading because this is by far the biggest change in eBay fees in history, and seems to have largely gone unnoticed next to eBay's other acts of self harm la...
Suspiciously not getting ANY views of Items since ebay has started asking to (pay to promote)
Is anyone suspiciously not getting ANY views of some of their items since ebay has started asking to (pay to promote)? Im hearing people saying that ebay are shadow banning & secretly penalising private sellers who haven't (paid to promote any of the...
What happened to eBay?
I used to sell on eBay a few years back and although it was expensive for sellers, it was manageable. I have recently started selling again and it's abysmal! No views, extortionate selling fees, silly "promotion" percentages (10% before fees to sell ...
Resolved! Are Promoted Listings always identified as such?
I know there are Sponsored listings which are identified, but do some listings appear “incognito", ie as a result of a paid promotion but which isn’t identified as such? So it may look like an organic result in searches, but it’s actually been paid f...
Suggestions for music track in the next E-Bay advertising campaigns
I was wondering what track(s) E-Bay may wish to use for their next TV and Radio advertising campaigns? With their in house advertising expertise, I'm sure they'll come up with winners, but it can never hurt for members to offer suggestions, as we all...
'Promote it' - How does it work?
eBay keep offering me this 'Promote it' thing, but how does it actually work and what precisely do they charge? They seem remarkably coy about explaining this. I agreed to two of my three items being 'Promoted' but it seems to have made little or no ...
Auto relist
I always use the mobile app, I have always found it so easy to list with photos. I have always opted for the Auto relist, but that option doesn't appear on screen now, so Where has it gone??? Have ebay removed it or just hidden it ???Getting really a...
Resolved! Another BPF question: Are BPF's added to Promote Your Item fees when item sells?
Can anyone in the selling community help with the following question: Are "Buyer Protection Fees" added to "Promote Your Item" fee's. i.e. If I choose a promotion campaign at say 10% add fee rate are BPF's added at the point of sale. I have a sneakin...
Just received a promotional message from ebay
So what makes ebay think that anybody is going to pay any attention to any promotional message when ebay never listens or responds to any of our complaints? ebay is way beyond deluded ! I am in winding down mode and am demob happy! That's how that wo...
eBay Seller Capital / YouLend
As anyone actually applied for and used the offers that keep popping up eBay?I keep getting them to my private account, so wanted to know if Private Sellers can apply or if you have to be or it forces you to be a business seller?
15% Coupon Codes added to my items without my knowledge
I've just discovered that 15% Coupon Codes have been added to all but one of my listed items. I hope I'm right in thinking that ebay will be covering the cost of the discount and that I will still get the full item price, but could somebody confirm t...
New Changes to Promoted Listings programme - June 2025 - What a scam!
Anyone else seen this? Just received an email detailing their promotion changes from June. So basically, if you promote an item as a seller, regardless of whether the buyer is a lead acquired through the promotion, you will be charged the advertising...
Resolved! The promoted listings scam
I've always suspected this but i thought i'd do a check and seems to be what i'd feared. Decided to put a couple of items up for sale. Both almost identical but with slight differences in images etc. Set them both to dynamic % of listing fees. And wh...
Why are buyers being forced to pay 79p to "protect" a 99p item from private selllers?
Why are buyers being forced to pay 79p to "protect" a 99p item from private selllers?Simple question.My answer is that it makes no sense other than it's a greedy cash grab for eBay. Also, how many items will now go to landfill rather than going to a ...
