@shag182 yup, the funny part? That ad is so old it isn't even correct...read it it says $100 but go to your seller hub overview, the ad there says $500 - and I'm still not doing it, they can try all they want, what will do is end PLS and not do anything.

Next month: "if a buyer breathes oxygen, its considered a promoted sale at highest rate possible"
I would NOT be surprised if that happens. FEEbay is more shadier than a CAR STEALERSHIP from their playbook... HOW TO RIP PEOPLE OFF.
For those who aren't clear on the change about clicking the heart:
The screen shot shows a search results page on a PC. Note the items that say Sponsored at the bottom. Note the little heart outline at the top right of the image. Before today, in order to be considered a "click", a potential buyer would have had to click the item itself and go through to the view item page. As of today, if the buyer merely clicks that heart outline (which puts the item on his watch list), even if the buyer never clicks through to look at the view item page, that action is now considered a "click".
So, for PLA, that click---on the heart--- will cost the seller because PLA is a pay per click ad.
For PLS, that heart click will be treated the same as clicking through to actually look at the listing, which means if the buyer buys the item within 30 days, or (under the new rules) buys another of your items that is in a PLS campaign, you will end up paying the PLS fee.

devon@ebay This is from the Announcement. Can you ask the ads team to clarify this?
- The new definition of a click includes engagement with features and functionality of your ads, such as a buyer’s click on the heart icon to add an item to their watchlist. ....
In the past, a "click" was defined as the buyer actually clicking through to the view item page. Now, that definition has been expanded. But reading that sentence from the announcement, it appears that "a buyer's click on the heart icon to add an item to their watchlist" is only ONE example of the expansion.
This sentence seems pretty clearly to indicate that a heart click is not the only "engagement" that will be considered a "click".
So, what OTHER actions constitute an "engagement with features and functionality of your ads"?
Since these changes start today, a prompt answer would be appreciated.
Hey @my-cottage-books-and-antiques! I have reached out to the correct team on this and here is what was shared:
"We have expanded our definition of a click to include clicks on Add to Watch (i.e., listing heart icon) for both Promoted Listings Standard and Advanced. No other engagements are included in the model at this time ."
Devon,
