Ebay sponsored listings

[Brad9221]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to figure out how to sponsor my listings...I have a private account but the option for sponsor listing doesn't show up on any of my current listings. I have above average seller rating (Which I believe is one of the requirements) and the item I'm trying to sponsor isn't exempt from the sponsor option. I do have the option to change my account to business account but I don't want to raise any flags with Ebay so I would rather avoid this.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Your listing will not be eligible for it.
you need to sell a few items then you will be given the option

[Brad9221]

But I've sponsored this item before in the past? What do you mean I need to sell more?

Thanks

[Brad9221]

But how do I become eligible?? I don’t have that option 🤣

Just turn eBay account in business account...

the problem is "when"

Do you guys see any possible issues with me switching to business? Would I be more watched as a business seller?

Thanks

How old is your account?

[Brad9221]

Member since 2017 (was inactive for a couple of years until recently) sold 200 items in total, the majority recently, with 47 feedback. What are your opinions on me turning account to business?? Think I should avoid?

Thanks

keep a active multi listing up to create a sales history for that product, drop the price if need be, once it's eligible it will show when you edit the listing or if you are subscribed to Listing Analytics which is free

New accounts are eligible for making sponsored listings. It might be some bug. Did you try to talk with eBay?

[Brad9221]

Surely the accounts old enough and 200 sold items should be adequate? I’m above average customer rating as well. It’s annoying for not giving me the option 😐 I don’t wanna speak to eBay, trying to stay under the radar (long story)

You're assuming that 99% will get him exponentially better sales. It won't.

Thank you, what information do they ask for?

In the first time nothing, 2 mouse clicks and you are a professional seller
