Marketing glitch and error code

For almost 3 weeks now my marketing/promotion sales aren't working correctly. I have been trying to do a 3 tier sale and eBay only promotes the smallest amount. For example I might do a  mark down sale that includes 15%, 20% and 30%. Ebay only promotes the 15% portion of my sale. I've been losing sales left and right unfortunately. I'm aware of my slow and good days and lately it has been nothing but slow. I went from 10 to 15 packages to put out to one or two and that's not even consistent. I contacted them twice on this issue and found out I wasn't the only one. It's going on 3 weeks now and they aren't sure when it will be corrected. I also have been getting the message while creating a listing that states "no healthy upstream" and to top it off the variation on a listing only works part of the time. I'm not sure what to do anymore. Does anyone have any ideas other then putting in a ticket?

Hi, @camilas_corner. Let me touch base with the appropriate team, so we can dig into this further. When I hear back, I'll be sure to get in touch.

Hi @camilas_corner. After speaking with our teams, it appears you have two discounts running on your listings: Markdown sale where the 15% discount that is reflected in the item price indicates how you've set the price for that item and Volume pricing where the discount amount is based on the number of quantity the buyer purchases. This specific discount has 3 tiers set, however, we don't have a 3 tier markdown where we would select the promotional amount for you. Please note that If both markdowns and volume pricing are set up, buyers will get BOTH discounts together (unit price indicated in the Buy 2/Buy 3 box), which can often be overlooked. I'd love to get a ticket created for the "no healthy upstream" issue you're encountering, if you could attach a screenshot of that issue happening for the ticket? In the meantime, when you run into that error, please try going incognito (CTRL+SHIFT+N in chrome) to see if that resolves it temporarily.

Marketing glitch and error code

Good morning,

 

I'm a bit confused. I do a 3 tier sale all the time and up until 3 weeks ago, it always worked so you're saying I made a mistake on the sale and mismarked something? I just want to make sure I know what I'm doing wrong since I seem to have down it for the last 3 weeks.  I also know that more people have put in a ticket for the very same problem. So does that mean they're making the same mistake that I am currently making? Has something changed that I'm not aware of on the platform? I also have noticed since the marketing issue, my sales have dropped to one package a day if I'm lucky. I'm not even making enough to buy inventory at this point. I've also been with eBay for 13 years through the good and the bad. I'm a top rated seller and bend over backwards with my customer service, free shipping and free returns. My metrics have dropped severely over the past 3 weeks. Something is really wrong here. As for the "no healthy upstream" error, it randomly happens so I can't just send a screen shot. At least not until it happens again. Thank you for your time and effort assisting me, I do appreciate it.
