Im sorry if this has been already discussed but I can't find it. I want to end promoted listings but is there a way to do it other than individually? I've experimented but can't seem to find a way. If there is, It would be really helpful to me if you could spell it out in a very basic manner (I'm a little challenged in these things.) Thx.
If you want to remove all your listings from being promoted go to your active listings. On the top of the first column pull down the edit window. Select Edit all and that will bring all your listings into the bulk editing tool.
Click the first little box on top of the column which will select all your listings. Then click "bulk edit" and scroll down to the "sell it faster". It's the last group. Click promoted listings. Click "Stop Promoting" Then click "apply"
this does not work , i just got off the phone with ebay and they stated you can bulk edit to promote but not to cancel promoted lisitings in bulk ... JUST ANOTHER REASON WHY PEOPLE DO NOT TRUST THE DESPERATE COMPANY..., ebay is joke, promoted listings no longer work ... been promoted for 2 mlonths and sales are the worst ever , and yes my price and listings are good and THIS IS EBAYS FAULT broken
I think eBay is trying to make it easier for us to change the fee percentage for one listing, right from the selling page, instead of have to leave the page, go into the promoted listings page and revise a campaign. Of course, IMHO, eBay wants to make it easier for the seller to raise the percentage, so they make more money when your item sells.
Due to Ebay's announcement to set a minimum 2% ad rate, I have decided (at least temporarily) to remove the promotions. I tried to bulk edit and found the feature had changed and was unable to work out how to find an option to bulk edit the ad rates. I then rang Ebay - I was told I had to end all the listings! I complained I had 600 and many of them multi-variation types and that in the past I found when relisted, they rest the stock levels to original amounts or a minimum of 1, which was confirmed by the Ebay agent - plus I did not want to lose the visible sales history displayed on the listing. I have even found variation photos have disappeared permanently in the past!
Anyway, I came here to the forum, did a few searches and whilst waiting for Ebay to call me back with an answer - discovered how to bulk edit my listings and remove the promo rate. I will keep a close eye and see if this affects my sales and if it does noticeably, will have no option but to go for the 2% promo ad rate. I think initially, yes I did see a difference but not sure now. I am sick of Ebay constantly making it more expensive for sellers, because having a shop should be enough to promote listings!! There is absolutely no value in removing the 1% option - that is like removing the 1 o'clock from the clock!! I find the multi-save promotions are worthwhile. If I felt another platform would work for me and cost less, I would leave Ebay as it is just not so worthwhile any more, although this is a lot to do with competition and cost of living increases. Everything is going up whilst I have to keep my prices low - in fact many of them are lower than they were 10 years ago!!
I clicked to edit the selected listings which took me to a Revise Listings page, selected all and clicked bulk edit drop down, scroll down to Promoted Listings under Sell It Faster. Chose to Update, picked an ad rate, and updated them all at once.
As soon as you pause an active promotion, customers no longer see the discount and it does not apply to the items in the cart. You can resume the promotion at any time by selecting Resume from the Action drop-down menu.
Unlike Order Size Discounts, where the discount isn't applied until checkout, when you mark down an item, the item's price on eBay reflects the discount and a buyer sees it in the listing. When your sale ends, eBay will mark your items back up to their pre-sale event prices, which may take several hours.
No Auction types are supported. Best Offer type with a Buy It Now component is supported, but discounts will only be applied if a purchase is made through Buy It Now. Once the buyer has made a "best offer bid" and that bid is accepted, the item is no longer eligible for order discount offers.
In order to enhance the relevance of cross-sold items that are displayed on the Item page, the eBay discounts tool will use an algorithm based on item price, shipping price, and quantity sold to determine the order in which your configured items are displayed. If your items are new and do not have sales history on eBay, the discounts tool will use the order in which you provided the SKUs to determine the display position.
If you have more than 500 SKUs for the discount, the best practice is to select items by Store category. You can also create a second Store category for items to be placed in a discount. If you cannot create new Store categories, you will need to separate the items into different order size discounts.
The total discount from your special offer will be applied to the buyer's order subtotal. The order discount is then itemized across all items (primary and related) applicable to the offer on a cost weighted basis. This is an industry standard that's designed to protect sellers from buyers getting an item for a steep discount when returning the more expensive item. To prevent buyers from getting any discount when returning part of the order and no longer satisfy the discount conditions, you can change your return policy to not accept partial returns.
Yes, Discounts Manager allows you to set offers to activate at a future date/time and specify the date/time when the offer should automatically deactivate. Once an offer is live you can also edit it, put it on hold, or end it prior to the specified end date.
The eBay tool for creating and managing discounts does not currently support the ability to schedule offers to be held or reactivated at a specific time. When you choose to pause an offer or resume an offer, it will take effect within 15 minutes.
You can exclude up to 100 SKUs from a discount on an item by item basis or by exclusion rule using eBay or seller Store category. This can be done during offer creation: select Create exclusion rule when you pick up items for your offer.
In practice, this means incorporating relevant keywords into both your title and text, and doing the necessary research to know which keywords buyers are using to find what they want. To help you do the latter, eBay offers all of its sellers free access to a market research tool called Terapeak. Use it to fine-tune your keywords and discover new keywords, and take advantage of third-party SEO tools to get information such as keyword volume.
Instead of charging your buyers shipping, see if you can offer free shipping and raise the price of the item to offset the cost while still remaining competitive. Your listing will be more attractive to buyers, and will yield better results when you go to promote it.
After many years of offering its sellers a very basic listing promotion program with Promoted Listings Standard, eBay recently launched a cost-per-click advertising program known as Promoted Listings Advanced. This program allows for more optimal placement of your promoted eBay listings, including eligibility for placement in the top slots of the searches you bid on.
As a platform, Facebook enables its users to upload a variety of content. From a post that is just a direct link to the eBay listing you wish to promote, to image-focused posts, video clips to text posts, Facebook users can upload virtually every type of content under the sun. This flexibility often leaves sellers stumped as to how to promote an eBay listing in the best possible way.
Referral programs are a tried-and-true way of driving word-of-mouth marketing, and when done right, can yield very lucrative results. Simply put, referral programs are marketing schemes that offer an incentive to your buyers to recommend your eBay store or listing to their network. The incentive can be in the form of a discount on a future purchase, for example. You can get the word out about your referral program through your social media channels, through your after-sale messages, and even in the products you ship out to your customers.
Nothing gets buyers interested like a good sale, and the better the sale, the more likely your buyers are to recommend it to their friends and family. Offer attractive sales and promotions, and do everything you can to get the word out about them before they go live. Notify customers on your mailing list about upcoming promotions, and post about them on social media for all your followers to see and share.
Social media is an incredibly powerful promotional tool when used correctly, with endless possibilities for promoting an eBay listing through a variety of social media channels. A good social media campaign will include promotion of your eBay listing in relevant communities, and emphasize engaging content that encourages buyers to interact with your post and ultimately make a purchase through eBay. Avoid spamming links to the listing on all possible social media platforms, and instead opt to create quality content that buyers will want to engage with.
Sellers can promote fixed price listings for most categories except Wholesale & Job Lots, Cars, Motorcycles & Vehicles, Events Tickets, Property, E-Cigarettes, Vapes & Accs and Everything Else categories. Auction and Auction Buy It Now listings are not eligible at this time. When you create a Promoted Listings Standard campaign, only listings that are eligible for the service will appear in your selection view.
