Using an ebay promotion to sell and strategy question.

Good morning,

I need a little advice from experienced sellers.

I do not have a store (casual seller), but would really like to take advantage of one of the few ebay promos that saves a few $.

I have a specific listing, BIN only, $475 that would cap at the promo rate for fees.

My question is, without a store, how should I relist this and possibly pass along a part of the savings temporarily throughout the duration of the promo. If not sold during this time, I would not be able to offer a discount or match the temporary price in the future.

 

Is there a way to run a sale type of listing without a store? Mention In details?

Paying to promote may negate any savings in fees, I think. I have never done that.

Thank you for any help or suggestions. 

Lori

This is just opinion from a 20 year seller based on my experience. Not sure it will help but here goes.

First.........read the fine print. Ebay likes to mention these "special offers" but ya find out later that your item, or category wasnt in the fine print to meet the criteria.

Second........there are so many glitches that some users arent getting the special deals once activated anyway so keep notes and watch it closely.

Third.......promoted listings is entirely different and since you only get 1 listing showing at a time now you are financially better off trying to sell your item for the least amount of fees as possible at least while the listing is new and fresh. You are way more likely to get views because of newness than you are simply because you promoted your listing.

Fourth.........goodluck.

Thank you. 

Yes, I have been burned by the fine print before. 

I will relist it and just hope it shows up to anyone in a search. 😁
