In this video, I’m breaking down how eBay makes money through promoted listings and whether it’s worth using them for your store. In 2023, eBay earned over $10 billion, with a big chunk coming from ad fees paid by sellers. I'll share my experience on how much I’ve spent on eBay ads this year, my strategies for setting ad rates, and why I think it's better to start low and work your way up. I’ll also explain why ad fees can be tricky, how I handle offers when ads are involved, and what you need to know to avoid paying extra fees. Plus, I'll share my thoughts on eBay's business model, and why it could lead to rising costs for sellers and higher prices for buyers. If you're trying to decide whether to use promoted listings or how to optimize your ad rates, this video is for you. I'll give you the insights I wish I had when I started, and share tips on how to improve your sales without breaking the bank on ads. Thank you for all the support on the channel!
