Promotions Not Working At All!

My promotions have gone from over 200 impressions per day to now 0 impressions per day.  What is going on EBAY?

You probably need to call.  If you're not showing at all something is wrong because Ebay would LOVE for you to pay more fees.  I don't know how well I'm doing but I'm getting 4-6000 impressions a day on about 30 items.  Check your items for sale list and see if you're paying a high enough rate.  The market will vary.  You have to be at or above the trending rate in order to be seen.

I took my promo's off. I was selling very little to be paying an extra amount to ebay. My thing is HOW do they promote me among the Millions of others that are giving them more $$ on their promo's. I sell used clothing items. I can't pay for a store AND give them more money and keep my prices low enough to sell amongst other competitors. There's only room for about 5 promo photos on each listing page. So if 30 others are promoting a (for example) woman's green size 12 tank top, how do they choose what 5 people with same tank top get the promo photo on someone else's listing?? Probably whoever has the highest percent to ebay. FRUSTRATED!!!! How about give ME the $$ for advertising someone else's item listing on MY listing I pay for any they get a percentage of!!!!

I would check the end date maybe your promotion ended. I used to set it for a month or two or three then they would end before I would remember to reset it. I would realize it when I saw the graph flatlined.  Now they have a continuous setting but they didn't have that at first.

   I thought the promotions are free until you actually sell a promoted item?       So if no sale,   no expense?

They probably shut you off for greener pastures. My account was shut off over a week ago. Within that time I had 3 sales all in 2 hours then crickets. Ebay manipulation.

You are correct. No sale, no expense. BUT I was also saying, I may have lost a sale because when someone clicks on MY listing (a listing i DO pay for) Ebay let's others promote on my listing page. And they HAVE to scroll past the promo's to read my Item Description. So If i'm paying for a listing DO NOT advertise for someone else. I'm paying them to get a sale (and paying them after I make the sale), not to get a sale for someone else.
