We have Premium store. We started to advertise outside of Ebay to bring customers to out Ebay Store directly. The result, Ebay pulls similar listings from our competition in to our item pages under the section "Most Popular Clicks", thus taking our customers to our competition. It is called "Pimping". We pulled all our media ads out. UNFAIR!

Myself and many other sellers are done with ebay. No promotion and NO protection for small sellers anymore! Payment for an auction was not received and when action was taken the buyer responded BUT NOT WITH PAYMENT. THEREFORE EBAY SAYS SINCE THEY RESPONDED WITH AN EMAIL THAT IS ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO. NEVER RECEIVED PAYMENT....NO HELP FROM EBAY! other problems too! MANY OF US ARE TIRED OF SELLERS GETTING A BAD DEAL...IF THERE ARE NO SELLERS THEN.......NO BUYERS...

When I log into my adcommerce subscribed ebay user id – I see all the adcommerce ads but when I use another ebay user id that is not subscribed to adcommerce I never see any adcommerce ads just the SPONSORED LINKS. This is the case also with other eBay sellers I know personally. We have all collaborated and tested this across the country to eliminate the theory that only certain regions see ads at certain times. So if this is true – which unfortunately it’s the only truth I know – then when you...

working with the elderly and housebound I've found internet and ebay to be great. Only not so friendly. Many older people don't have paypal so depend on children or grandchildren to purchase for them. Which means writing down item numbers, not easy when 12 numbers all run together. Could ebay separate the numbers ( 1111-1111-1111 )? If not is there any way of linking accounts so people in nursing homes could send there list (with a max bid amount marked ) to there loved ones out in the real...

I had a campaign going and I changed my store name and now my links go to a non existant page.. I can't find a place on the ad commerce site to edit my store name. I camcelled my campaign and tried to do a new custom ad one but I still can't change the store name. Do i have to cancel my account and start over?

I'm sure if I put enough money into it, it would generate more sales, but my store sells only one item and it is inexpensive... would it be cost effective to use adcommerce? I'm looking for a way to get traffic into my store... help?

I have been selling this year including free postage and noticed my fees are reflecting a higher percentage auction price and not discounting the cost of postage which is clearly advertised to be the medium flat rate usps box rate. I am getting charged a commission on the postage by Ebay as a result and that does not seem fair. They should probably note on their site that adding free postage as a convience to buyers and aiming to get rid of the confusion that you will be paying more for...

Are sellers policies honored by ebay? I have a policy on payments. They must be made within 3 days of auctions end. I sell for other people and pay them weekly. I have customers that do not pay In the aloted period and I wind up paying my sellers up fron out of pocket. This poses a big problem as I have had buyers that have never paid for their Items at all. I also have a zero feedback policy offered by ebay but cant retract the bids when I do have a zero feedback bidder. This is an ebay policy...

Being able to transact all business from an item's auction page used to be a simple thing to do. How come this was changed? Ebay is not getting easier to use, it's getting more complicated. Am I the only one who feels this way?

To any ebay seller that needs an opinion on the Ad Commerce Program. We have read each policy stated and terms for the Ad Commerce Program. We have read all the topics from other sellers on the Ad Commerce Program. If you are a seller looking to start advertising your business, we highly recommend that you do not go with this program. Also, do not be mislead by supposedly other sellers saying great things about it. Judge for yourself as we have. We determined that the agreement is...

I'm new to eBay Adcommerce and I'm trying to create my first ad. I am entering a Custom URL to my web site landing page as in: www.mysite.com/landingpage.html (note: this is not at eBay landing page) but I get the following message when I click "create Ad" "The destination URL you have entered is not currently allowed. " I have read the instructions for entering custom URLs and I would assume that adcommerce wants me to link to my eBay item page. I understand this. But then...

I thought adcommerce ads are only supposed to link to ebay sites, listings and stores, not off ebay sites? I'm seeing lots of sponsored ads linking to off ebay sites (j&R Music world for example). How is that happening? What am I missing?

For years, Ebay has been so good. products were as advertised. I bought a $56 pair of "genuine Australian wool" slippers. Second pair, new seller. 1st were great. They come and they're made in CHINA. Looked the same. NO, they're of such poor quality that you end up walking on the edges of the soles. Where was the consumer protection? I bought an "ultra sound" machine. The one my Dr. used was warming, nice and healing. The ad said, "Deep Heat". Yeah! That's what I want! The feedback was okay. A...

new private listings of bidders allows people to use/open accts with no ramifications(except lose the acct. to then open a new one) Also they can needlessly bid on things,drive up the price,yet have no intention of purchasing the item, making it difficult to judge real bids from false ones,which can cost the bonafide bidder more money or lose the item. Anonymity is great,but when you have established a good reputation, other bidders like to know that the people they bid against are...
