50% off Featured Plus! on eBay.com

by Chris Dawson

eBay are running a three day 50% off promotion for the Featured Plus! listing enhancement for auctions and BIN listings. The promotion runs on 29th - 31st July and appears to be open to all sellers regardless of your location.

It’s worth remembering that with Featured Plus your listing is featured on the page of search results it would naturally fall on, and in the US with Best Match enabled this may mean it never makes the first page of search results.

One final point to bear in mind - if you’re listing on eBay.com from outside the US the promotion runs on PT not BST (an eight hour time difference) so make sure you’re listings start during the promotion period.

    I used to do about 15 a month at £33 ish each, I don’t do any now for exactly the reasons you mention above, I wouldn’t do them even if they were 1/4 the price, completely pointless with best match turned on.

    Is it just me or it seems that eBay is bombarding us with all kinds of promotions recently. Years ago, there were only 2-3 free listing days or so per year. Now - I get promos in my inbox almost every week!

    cheap listing days are no the only times some business sellers send items out to core,

    it is just too expensive for some items to be listed in core, so they sit in a ebay shop or website etc until a buyer comes along
