Controversial Promoted Listings Policy... eBay Breaks Their Silence

Video Description

🔥 eBay has finally addressed their upcoming Promoted Listings policy changes. Are any of their answers satisfying? Keep up with all the drama at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_DN9UDkz3StpjGTd_MJgGxYVKOTwN1on Thanks so much to Liz Morton at valueaddedresource.net for reporting on the situation. Read deeper into the controversy at https://www.valueaddedresource.net/ebay-faces-tough-questions-promoted-listings-ad-attribution Shop the Hot Lunch eBay Shop: https://www.ebay.com/str/hotlunch. Let me know you're a viewer in the buyer's note and I'll include a surprise. In this video I break down the controversial changes to eBay’s promoted listings, share what was said in a virtual seller meetup with eBay staff, and walk through my own real-world results after turning off every promotion in my store. We talk about why your listing may never hit the top of search unless you use the more expensive pay-per-click option, how “nefarious clicks” and “no intent to purchase” clicks can eat into your margins, what sellers in the UK and other countries are already seeing with this policy, and why so many of us are questioning eBay’s reporting and attribution. I also cover reporting from Value Added Resource on how much eBay is making from ads, what some sellers are doing (including contacting the FTC and state attorneys general), and why I’ve personally decided to stop using promoted listings for now. Watch to see what actually happened to my sales and profits after a 10-day before-and-after test and don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss the upcoming bulk-turn-off tutorial and long-term results on selling with zero promotions.
