    An Ebay ad/campaign manager/rep contacted me...

    Back in november I got an email and then a phone call from ebay.

    It was a promoted listing's manager or something who was trying to get me to set up and use offsite promotions.

     

    We went through it and i set up a $5/day offsite promotion to feel it out.

     

    She told me to set it for contineous because if I put an end date the system wont be able to learn or something

     

    6 weeks past and i made 1 offsite sale.....

     

    No thank you ebay!

    I'm surprised you paid $5 a day for 6 weeks without any sales generated and didn't end the ad campaign sooner.

     

    Is that the amount you budgeted and why you left a non-effective campaign running for so long?

    I honestly forgot abouy it untill i checked my payouts and was confused as to why my pay outs were so low after I sold my regular items that sell weekly.

    Ouch. I guess that's a good reminder for sellers:

     

    When you activate a 'continuous' ad campaign, set a calendar alert or a scheduled send email reminder to self so you can check performance after X weeks.

    The dashboard tells you where your sales came from

    Gotch, I just figured it out / found it.
    216 for $20k (6 months) offsite. 
    Car parts.
    Of course, most of that would have probably been there anyway...Maybe?
