OP11 months agoInteresting that the announcement mentions the Auto Price Reduction feature we've seen being tested but when you click through to read the full update there's nothing there about it.

"Our Auto Price Reduction feature automatically reduces prices for unsold listings to reach more buyers and help them sell. "
@devon@ebay @kyle@ebay @elizabeth@ebay was that a mistake in the announcement or did something get missed on the actual update page?

·11 months ago@valueaddedresource Thanks for the update on the update. I'm not a large seller, so #1 doesn't really impact me. I don't sell P&A, so gain, not for me.
The Ambassador Program is interesting, but I have just discovered that if, like me, you are a member of the EPN, you can't join with that account. So, I'm trying to end my EPN membership.
But my main question: Can I pick any ebay item to highlight, or does ebay restrict us to certain items or categories (for example, focus categories).
@valueaddedresource , do you know?

OP11 months ago@my-cottage-books-and-antiques on the Ambassador dashboard there are a few sections for Recommended, Top Commission, Trending, Deals etc. and a lot of those items tend to be in Focus categories though not exclusively.
That being said, you can also select other categories or use the search bar to find specific things so while I'm not sure if 100% of listings on eBay are available in Ambassador, I can say that there's a pretty wide selection and it's definitely not limited just to Focus Categories.
