We sell a decent amount through Promoted Listings.
For the last 31 days, $3,417 of sales were through Promoted Listings. Our Total Sales for the same 31 days is $10,501, so 33% of our sales are through Promoted Listings.
Jay: QUADRUPLE AMEN ON THAT!!!
I would love a ticket system that when you log an issue, you get a ticket number that you can log into and see the status…but that would be too much to ask.
At least put a lot of these details out on what has changed. Apps do this all the time when you update them on your device…
Industry standard… ๐
“pricing transparency” is all they say…
I don’t know. Like when we see MSRP on products that are way marked up vs what a store has for sale?
How about working more on curing fraud and scam cases instead of “pricing transparency”?
MyCottage: For us, we are still staying 30 Day. Only GTC for multi-quantity listings.
Veronica and I talked it over, and the boost on 30 Day listings is better that what we get on sales lift. Can’t win them all, but we will choose the path that has worked the most for us in the past…
Jay: “But for those of you who re-list a handful of items each day as new, how will sales work?”
— Not well…
If an item has been relisted and I run a sale, it won’t be included in the sale for the first 14 days of the sale. This really hurts our Clearance Sale items as they could only be on deep discount (50%-75%) for 14 days at a time. Unless we move those items to GTC.
I’m not really sure why they are doing this requirement. It is like they are fixing something that isn’t a problem…
This makes me consider moving certain items to GTC if I plan to run sales. Which I don’t want to do because of the sales lift on Days 1 and 30 that I detailed a few weeks ago.
I’m so happy eBay has created a new hurdle for us to work around. Such is business, but I think Free Returns made more business sense than this change.
Yeah…that ain’t fun…
I get why, because it is at the new listing number level, so the system can’t distinguish between new and relisted. That would mean that items that are 30 Day listings can only be on sale 50% of the time…

1) June 1 is the TRS requirement for Free Returns
2) Two separate transactions. When you offer Free Returns and you provide the return shipping label, that is a standalone transaction. Regarding your refund upon receipt of the item, you are only required to refund the original shipping if you did Free Shipping or it was an INAD or Item not Received case.
We have had some of these, and we didn’t have to refund the original shipping charge.
The only item that concerned me was the automatic shipping label. If we are Free Returns, not an issue anyway, but just something to watch for.
Nice side note was that we had a return on Free Returns about 2 weeks ago. He never shipped and eBay canceled for me. I never call to have them closed (as I don’t know what is going on in the buyer’s life), but it was nice for them to close for lack of buyer movement.
Yeah, I didn’t see anything new here as well, at least any changes we need to make.
It is working pretty good right now. They had an issue for a while where the auto-relist on the Etsy side wasn’t working (problem in the logic), but they have that fixed now. Typical new programming stuff.
Some of the SB premade searches are “busted” (even Steve said that), but I made my own to quickly get what I want. I’m sure you can get those working quickly.
Fore example, I want to see what is listed on eBay but not on Etsy, and vice versa. Their preset searches for this didn’t work, but I put my own together and they did. I’m using the advance search even more now, and it is working well.
Yep…I missed that part.
Thanks Mike. I didn’t even dig that far into it.
I wanted to stick with programs that I knew had been around and seemed to have a solid customer base before we implemented. Inkfrog, SixBit, WonderLister, were the main 3 that I liked. WL and SB were the top 2, and for us, SB won.
05/22/2018 at 9:39 am in reply to: EBay is learning from Spotify in its bid to make shopping more personal #40617This may be a move for differentiation with Amazon, and also to combat Poshmark…
Looks like another Inkfrog/SixBit/WonderLister/ChannelAdvisor program. Pricing is nice at $40 for 3 channels. I would have to compare everything else to SixBit to see if we would switch.
