I'm trying to boost sales by promoting my inventory, I even offer 12- 15% add rate but it just doesn't boost sales.

My average sale a day is about 10-15 items.

Can someone help me?

Wow! Congrats! You're doing better than most. What you can try is to use your social media buttons at the top right hand side of the page that reads "Share." Whatever social media apps you use, attach your listings to that app and then let 'em fly. I have had sales from using my social media apps. I hope it works for you.

Happy Selling

eBay has created a monster with Promoted Listings and so your competitors are promoting at 15%, you would need to promote at 20%+. Then you can run an automated Promoted Listings Advanced campaign and let eBay bid $1-$3 for every click around the world. Then there Promoted Display where you can set a daily budget and eBay will take care of the rest(of your bank account). And for dessert, you can try eBay's Offsite Ads, which used to be included with Promoted Listings Standard but now you have to set another budget for that daily contribution to the executives retirement funds.

The help I would offer is that if promoting your items does not increase sales, then maybe your items do not need to be promoted.

You seem to have a pretty incredible number of recent sales considering you sell almost exclusively the sort of things most people would just buy off Amazon instead (and you were higher than Amazon on the few things I checked).

Instead of promoting 12 or 15 percent, try no promotion at all and instead reducing the price 10-15 percent. All that shampoo and deodorant is going to sell based on price and not promotion as people already know what brand they want and are going to search price lowest first.
