AdChoice Click Stream Revenue??
Jan 25, 2012 11:41 PM

The real and interesting question IS: Where is the revenue going? We would not mind the pop up ads in our listings if we were to collect the click stream revenue from them(at least in part). I assume with 54,000 hits on my listings this month that a click stream revenue generated from any clicks away from my listings should benefit me in some way. I have no business relationships with UPS(other than a shipping acount),Google, Vista Print or any other ads that may appear. I don't necessarily mind the eBay mobile app ad, but the daily deals ad directs traffic to other sellers (I don't deal in items that would be a viable choice for "Daily Deals"). But there is a revenue stream being produced. Pretty sure from seeing previous web designers Monetization of a couple websites that this would at least partially offset the costs of listing fees, or store subscription fees. I have personally seen click stream revenues of a couple dollars to upward of a thousand dollars a month just from one website. Just saying, if your going to pump money and direct people around us there should be some up side for us?? Shouldn't there be?

This has totally distroyed the image I try to create when I try to sell an item.EBay is using me and my image to sell an unrelated item at my expense.This is not right and not fair.Being small means being cheated and being used.To say this is a service to the merchant is creating a hatred of being bullied by a bigger power.I could go on forever on this matter but you get my point and I am furious and opposed to this totally.

eBay is double selling the space by selling the listing to us then tacking on the sponsored links that take business away from us. This is insane. What can we do?

I mostly SELL on Ebay but I do purchase items now and then.  This pop up ZBiddy ad (which I believe you are referring to) is driving me insane!!!  It wastes my time and energy.  It is so ANNOYING!!!!!!  (To say it nicely)  I can't stand it and am pretty fed up with a lot of things about Ebay.

VERY FRUSTRATED WITH EBAY THESE DAYS.  NOT SURE HOW MUCH LONGER I CAN TAKE IT!
