Why can’t Ebay support all sellers equally??

[nomarfan1]

Anyone else tired of seeing and getting these emails and messages? Why can’t Ebay support all sellers equally with offers like this? Why are these weekly promotions only for sellers that Ebay hand picks? Would love to hear any input that you folks may have.

A seller has to be willing and able to supply a large quantity for the sales and cut the price to qualify for those sales spots..........  so only big sellers are going to be able to do that. 

And they have been running alot more % off sales that do apply to us.........

I guess that's part of the "great visibility" reward they promised us for complying with all their requirements.

Nowhere in the world of retail are sellers treated equally.  The more volume you buy the larger the discounts you can obtain.  If you combine that volume with additional efficiencies you will become a monopoly.  That is the way of capitalism.

Exactly right.    I don't expect to be treated the same as a seller dropping 10K per month on ebay fees when

I'm spending $200.00

Probably for the same reason that a multitude of other venues offer promotions and discounts for specific products while excluding others. For example, Best Buy is currently offering promotions on Microsoft Surface, Samsung Galaxy, and Amazon Echo. Dell laptops, Google Pixel phones, and Apple Homepods are not being "supported equally" there either. 

eBay does not pick these seller and these products out of the blue; they are a joint promotion. If you want in, you should have your sales department contact eBay to set up a promotion. You'll probably need references, proof that you an handle the volume, and verification of your inventory. You probably also have to foot the entire bill for the discounts.

Who is "they"?  Are you talking about Ebay?  If that is what you are referring to, there is a bit more information that you should have added as Ebay does NOT just decide certain sellers will accept a discount on their pricing because Ebay says so.  Ebay does have promotions sometimes that offer a certain percentage off specific seller's items, BUT the sellers have to AGREE to be part of the promotion FIRST.  It does not just come as a SURPRISE!

Sorry for the confusion....I meant the general 15-20% sale off to buyers on any items benefit us as sellers...............it doesn't target certain sellers.
