Honestly eBay is really annoying….My IPad which has the eBay app was next to me…and I had closed my eyes for 20 minutes…I worke up, I looked at the little pop ups and there was one from the queen of annoyances. I clicked on it..thinking maybe some inspecting buyer had a question…Nope…there was a large box telling me I needed promote a newer listing..ever so conveniently I could just tap this box and it would automatically promote the gourmet salt and pepper at 14%. OMG they are predatory. I had never seen this before in this format.
Leave people alone. Don’t try and sell me any of your advertising. EBay’s profits must be dropping because that is where 99% of them come from.
Nonsence.

·1 week ago · EditedI'm so tired of their pop-ups every day. Their system just doesn't understand clicks that have no results. They don't get it. I don't want it. Leave me alone!
Promote this....75% of listings in this category are promoted at 16%. Well, good for them. Mine aren't.
Send an offer to buyers. No, buyers don't get offers from me. If they want my stuff, they can just buy it.

OP1 week ago · EditedI turned off all my meager 4% promotion. They just made me so mad with all this. It has nothing to do with us…it is thrm. I just had a couple of low ball offers, and nicely told them I couldn’t accept their offer because I could not afford to. They came back and bought.
