Like others here have stated, I have been both a buyer AND a seller on ebay. However, several months back, I noticed that they are now 'limiting' the World Community in viewing our items, in order to 'coerce' sellers to pay even MORE MONEY through 'Boosting' our items! So, what it is that they have done here, is to force sellers to either lose money, or be forced to price items higher than reasonable, insuring a 'no sale' situation! It has been thrown upon the 'little guy' to now act like a Corporation! Twenty-five years again, I've been buying and selling on ebay! And since they have 'cut-off' the wider community to us, there is now no further value/ reason for me to remain! Yes, 'there ARE other great choices out there'... All one has to do is to be a little more creative!
While they are certainly enticing, prompting and strongly suggesting promoted listings I know of NO coercion.
In your case you have a celestion cross over listed. A search for that brings up only 12 listings (including yours). With that few to scroll through paying a promotional fee is absurd.
In your case you only have 3 items in total listed. So, yes, you are not likely to get any major exposure unless someone looks for one of those 3. Again, promoted listings is a waste of money. You need a bigger selection to attract more buyers..
