Auto Pride Reduction option
The Sell your item page I was using had the Auto Price Reduction option and I used it often. For whatever reason it is no longer of that page and I cannot find it anywhere. Anyone know what happened to it and also how can I get it back?

·8 months agoA post (link) by one of the eBay Mentors confirms this feature was discontinued.
If you have an eBay Store, make use of discounts manager and run sales instead.

·8 months agoMy apologies @mac4705 . It turns out that mentor's post was not based on a confirmation from eBay as originally thought.
Auto Price Reduction feature missing is a technical error that eBay is working to resolve. For more information and updates, please follow this post on the tech issues board.

·8 months agoThis should be the final update @mac4705 - we finally got confirmation from eBay on what's going on. The Auto Price Reduction tool has not been discontinued, but its use has been targeted as (in my opinion) it should have been from the start. You can read more on the thread linked in my last post.
The tool is available exclusively through the simple listing tool for newbies/casual sellers; it is not available through the business listing tool. The simple listing tool is very limited and not the right fit for everyone. If you use Seller Hub you cannot access the simple listing tool.
Newbie/hobby sellers using the simple listing tool can access the Auto Price Reduction feature, and those with more experience using the business listing tool should know how to price their items correctly from the start and not need to lean on Auto Price Reduction.
eBay has many tools for advanced users such as Product Research to figure out pricing, they have Seller Initiated Offers for sellers wanting to offer discounts to interested buyers, and they have Discounts with a Store subscription where sellers can make use of coupons, order discounts, sales, and more.

·8 months agoJust start a new listing and select "Buy It Now". That's when the "Auto Price Reduction" option appears.

OP8 months agoUnfortunately my page only shows: Format, Item Price, Quantity, Allow Offers, and Schedule your Listing. Is there a way you could put up a link to the page that has Price Reduction Option on it? I would save that page and use for each listing when I wanted that option. Thank you for your help.
