Deals & Savings

[fern*wood]

Never saw this search choice before.  What exactly qualifies for this?

[ymeagainlord]

New today. Never seen it before either (and no idea)

[klassic*kids]

Yes!  I was searching a seller's listings and solds and saw it right above solds on the checklist.  I didn't know if it's new or something I just never saw before.

It was probably announced in a super-secret location.  LOL

[sharingtheland]

klassic, did you see it in a seller's listings under completed/sold?  Because I saw it in just plain old general search under solds when researching something.

I didn't click on it, but if it's "deals & savings", why the heck is it under ended listings?

Maybe I should click on it before making an astute assessment (use of astute followed by ass was intentional).

Hi -- I saw it under a seller's right above "sold listings".  I just checked on my own listings and wondered what would come up if I clicked it and it came back with this: 

0 results found in ebay deals, so we searched all ebay[Go to suggested search]

I don't know what it was searching for.  I thought it would pull up everything I had on sale via markdown manager, but nope -- have no idea what it is looking for as when I click on their "suggested search" it is a bunch of random listings that make no sense to me and I'd never be searching for.

I checked one of my other accounts while logged into this one. Clicked on deals & savings and it pulled up half a dozen listings or so. None are marked down. None are sponsored listings. One of them is part of a promotion (buy X get X% off), but none of the others are. Seems very random.

@Anonymous Do you have any insight regarding the new "Deals & Savings" selection on the left hand search menu? How are listings selected?

Hi there! I saw this filter earlier today and was wondering the same thing you are. At first glance, it does appear to only include items that are running a Promotions Manager promotion but have found some examples that don't. I've reached out to the expert teams to see if I can gather more information on this. I'll keep you updated as soon as I know more.

I searched for  "Classic Leather Franklin Planner" and came up with 438 listings. Under "Deals & Savings"  I came up with 6 listings by one seller JtOmaha. None of the 6 are multiple quantity (so they would not be able to be promoted for a fee), and none of the 6 are on sale via markdown manager.  All have best offer as an option. I thought maybe that was it, but I have B/O on many of mine and they don't show. Mayber they, one of the largest sellers of Franklin Planners on Ebay, cut a deal?  I have no clue.

Of course I would like to know how to have my Planners show up in the "Deals & Savings" search.

Any clues on this?

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I'm still waiting to hear back on this. I'll keep you updated as soon as I have more information.

I have done several tests with the filter and found it shows any listings that are priced below the "trending at" price.

It doesn't show anything on sale and I saw NO sponsored listings. The ONLY listings I saw were those wit prices under the 'trending at' price and since not every item has a 'trending at' price, not all will be shown.

[copper.boom]

Great observation, pantlandia! I had a feeling it had to do with low pricing (especially based on the half dozen items of mine that pulled in the search), but didn't have the chance to go through and check each one.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

[copper.boom]

Hmm... I decided to check this account and 1 item shows up in D&S. It's priced at 59 cents above the trending price.

I'm interested to know what kind of response Heidi gets on this.

I went through search, announcements, weekly chat, and I could find no mention of it.
