To promote listings or not, what works for you? Are you increasing %, unchanged or switching off?

With the new changes coming in on promoted listings where you "pay if your promoted listing is clicked" and sells within 30 days, causing some debate, was interested to see if other sellers use promoted listings, what percentage do you set, what type of promotion you use and what works for  you?  Do you sell without any promotion?  Promoted v's not promoted?  Have you recently switched them off with this announcement, will remain unchanged or increase rate?  If you have increased or switched off what are your findings? Would be interested to see. Will you be switching off when this comes into practice or remain the same? With all the changes here and ever increasing fees it is hard to know what to do for the best and what will work, if anything.

On another community chat someone posted their stats where they had recently switched off which was quite interesting, obviously a lot depends on what you sell and the market for it.  Post what you do, how it works for you and maybe show us your promotion/not promoted stats and the type of products you sell.

You might get a special offer invite next for promoted listings!

Well, nearly a month in from turning the ebay cash cow PL off there is no visible difference in impressions for myself, nor has it slowed sales down or effected them one tiny little bit.

So read into that what you will

Thanks for sharing your chart, it is very interesting to see how others are fairing without any promotions.  Let us know if anything changes as of 24/6/25 when this new "pay if your promoted item is clicked" comes into effect.  I am still finding sales dire, more or less everything I sell is still promoted. Oddly enough what I have sold since 9th June, even though all promoted none were charged for promotion?
