eBay Promotions

The eBay Promotions which attract 30% off Final Value Fees all offer discounts to buyers with various formats available so that you can pick the option that works best for your business:

eBay Promotion – Send Offers

Perhaps the easiest promotion of all to run is the Send Offers to buyers. This merely involves checking which of your items you have buyers watching and sending them an offer. It’s similar to Best Offer but instead of the buyer making an offer to you, you can make an offer to the buyer specifying which price you’d be willing to accept.

You can access this promotion multiple times during the campaign so set up a reminder to Send Offers to Buyers on a regular basis in your diary.

eBay Promotion – Multi-Buy

Multi-Buy is something you should strongly consider and this is a promotion that, once set up, is worth leaving running pretty much forever. It specifies a discount that a buyer will receive if they purchase multiple items in a single transaction and is highlighted on the view item page.

Multi-Buy can run across multiple itmes, so if you’d like to avoid the Mix & Match Multi-buy discount being applied, you can set up your promotions on an individual item basis or use the feature in the Seller Hub listing flow. Another top tip if you’d like to limit Mix & Match Multi-buy is to set-up campaigns containing items of similar sizes and margins. However, if you’re happy to offer the discount for bigger orders across your whole inventory, you can use the “all inventory” feature to include all your items in one campaign.

Setting up your promotions now will ensure that you are set for the busy Q4 and prepared in advance for Black Friday and Christmas.

eBay Promotion – Order Discount

At the same time your average postage costs should reduce where you can ship multiple orders in a single parce

eBay Promotion – Sale Event + Markdown

The aim from Sale Events and Markdowns is to increase your sales velocity. It’s ideal for new inventory lines to drive sales and increase your ranking in Best Match as well as liquidating end of line stock to make way for new inventory.
