powersellers, have you received the ebay Adcommerce emails
i have a powerseller account selling problem-free, well I suppose, items. i got two emails from their marketing asking if i am interested to join the new ADCommerce program. it is just like google key words i think, being you pay for the key words, then they rank you higher in search result.
My sales is dropping dramatically since a few days ago, which is abnormal, becuse i am not selling seasonal products. I don't know if that is because some other sellers joined the progam and visibility of my listing is decreased because I have not join yet.
Want to hear more comments on this. As if our competitors are in, we have to be in too, and the result is: everybody is in, and everybody is in just to make the same amount of sales, with lower profit, because part of it is paid to ebay for this program. The only one that will benefit at the end is eBay itself.
I don't think it is right for ebay to roll out this program, because it is not like Google. No body paid google to be on the search result at first, those who paid is just trying to get to the first page. However, on eBay we have already paid listing fee, featured listing and featured store fee, then we should have a equal opportunity to be ranked in the search result. Now this?
