Promoted Advanced: numbers possibly say "don't waste the $$"

I have the same 'almost' 600 listings the past 10 years- with maybe 20 new, so this list is very solid.

I do NOT pay for Promotions Advanced (advertising Outside ebay which is a Pay per Click (even if clicker doesn't buy anything). 

 

This list is per the Traffic Report shown in Seller Hub for PAGE VIEWS from OUTSIDE EBAY only (and I believe page views EARLY LAST YEAR included 'bots' and sometime THIS YEAR, they did Not, which SHOULD make 'this year lower, but in most cases, THIS YEAR is higher (lower shown in Red)

I will watch each month to determine that they are sinking enough to decide if paying for Promotions Advanced is going to be worth it. 

If I do it, I will continue to 'compare' to see if there is a change.  

 

This may be an exercise worth doing for you (just change the dates, 1 month at a time)

Did you Advance Promote in 2022?
Did you Advance Promote in 2023?

I see you seem to be getting significantly more views each month in 2023 than you did in 2022.
Except for the last few months.

My 2nd Sentence states 'no'.

Most of the extra cost selling options fail to " pan out " and just cost you money.

Gotcha.  
My mistake. I was trying to relate your title to your post

You have sold a lot...although those who buy from you probably aren't the ones likely to leave any feedback. That kinda hurts when buyer gets a great item.

I am amazed the number of watchers you have....wow!...for some items.

I only promote the expensive items...and when one sells...ouch....I do over promote over the rate eBay suggests thinking it will never sell....and I do sometimes miss knowing something cool sold and will never see it again.
