Hi, I have an above standards account but I cannot seem to figure out how to be eligible for promoted listings. I can't see the option while listing my products and when I go check it out on my seller hub it sends me to this link https://pls.ebay.com/plsweb/ineligible which seems to not help at all.
Do I need to have a store subscription to be able to promote my listings?
eBay is not going to tell sellers *exactly* how many recent sales are required, because to do so would allow sellers to "manufacture" the necessary sales to qualify.
I suspect eBay wants seller to demonstrate a basic understanding of the selling process first.
The rules don't mention a requirement that you have a store, but it does mention recent "Sales Activity", though it doesn't define a minimum number of sales. I'm guessing you haven't sold enough to qualify.
Seller level gets determined by other criteria and I think feedback doesn't affect it. This is what eBay showed me "Your current seller level is Above Standard. We calculate a seller’s performance by looking at their transaction defect rate, cases closed without seller resolution, late shipments, and confirmed tracking and delivery. You can view a monthly breakdown of your performance on your Seller Dashboard, as well as find information on how you can improve." It's more about maintaining a good customer service and meeting the deadlines for handling and shipping items. I have a couple of orders that haven't received feedback yet.

I seem to be having the same issue. I must of sold 50+ items and It says I'm not eligible to promote listings. Did you find out what this hidden requirement was?
Hi I have sold 2, but still not eligible for promoted listing. My account is above standard, no return, no defect. How to become eligible for promoted listing? Thank you.

I think NOT being disagreeable here. I have only sold a few things in years... I am still able to promote listings. I suspect it does have something to do with the amount of items you sell ( or sold) and how reliable you are on shipping and other things already discussed. I am above standard and do have sales under my belt. 😉 Sugar
I'm a fairly busy seller, with probably a couple hundred sales in the last year and a half. All positive reviews and I still cannot promote listings. Every listing says "not eligible".
