@dpals4357 ebay does not call that a "banner"...they call it a billboard. Your billboard has a graphic of an open ring box with a ring. You can change that graphic anytime. So, if you want to create a graphic like I showed above, you can create the graphic, or have some one create one for you (make sure it is the right size) and replace the current graphic with the new graphic.
To start the process, go to your store home page, look at the upper right corner of your billboard. See where it says "manage my store"?
Click on that.
Now, a new page opens with a version of your store home page that you can edit. Look again at your billboard. See the little pencil in a circle icon in the upper right.
Click on that.
That will allow you to replace the current billboard (make sure you have a saved copy of that graphic, so it is available when you want to put it back after the sale.) If you already have a graphic made, I think all you need to do is click "Replace" and follow the instructions. If you need to create a graphic, you can click Vista Create to use that tool to create your graphic, or you can use another tool, such as Canva.
For information on creating a graphic, see: https://pages.ebay.com/image-guide/index.html
Remember, when your sale ends you want to go in and replace the sale billboard with your regular store billboard
As I said above, there is also something called a "Marketing Banner". You are not currently using one. I am. Go to my store home page, scroll down a bit and you'll see a graphic of a napkin holder of two Pilgrim kids praying. If you click on the graphic, I have it set to take you to my Thanksgiving Category. The graphic is from an item I have for sale, but it could be a completely custom made graphic.
The Marketing Banner image can link to a specific item you want to highlight, or to a category, or to a promotion. Just scroll down in the "Manage Your Store" page to "Use a Marketing Banner". Again, click the pencil icon, then "edit banner". Select "Promotion" from the column on the left. When you do that, a box should open to your right, "Select a promotion"....you select your promotion from there (in this case, the sale you are running....I assume you only have one promotion going right now). Your promotion page will be the link shown here. That will be the page people are taken to if they click your marketing banner graphic. (This is your current sale page: https://www.ebay.com/sme/dpals4357/Save-up-to-10/so.html?_seedid=275351983306&_soffType=SaleEvent&_s...
The graphic for this can be anything you want, but it is best if it is square and ebay says 640 by 640 pixels. I don't have an example handy, but last year, I created this graphic to remind buyers of USPS Holiday Shipping deadlines (and I set it so it would take them to my Christmas category):
