eBay's Promoted listings allow sellers to sponsor items and aim for the top spot in eBay search to leverage a competitor advantage.
Promoted Listings Standard gives sellers a super simple way to easily promote items: Simply select the items you want to promote, set a percentage of sale you are willing to pay as a comission and eBay will promote your items. When the item sells you pay that percentage to eBay on top of your normal fees.
This is known as a Cost Per Sale (CPS) model.
Promoted Listings Advanced is a new solution for higher priced items or items with lower margins. Instead of paying a percentage per sale, eBay have introduced a new Cost Per Click (CPC) model. Simply put, you select your item keywords and then bid to pay per click regardless if the items sells.
With our powerful Frooition Freedom software and reporting you can prune your keywords and budgets to become highly optimised and a very cost effective form of advertising.

Promoted Listings Advanced provides you with recommended listings and keywords to help set your campaigns up for success.
Recommended listings have the potential to benefit from being promoted because they have appeared in the top 200 slots of the search results in the past 30 days. Newly listed items or items that have not received enough impressions in search results may not be included in the recommendation set.
Suggested Keywords are search terms that eBay have determined are relevant and likely to perform well in your campaign. eBay evaluate keywords based on how frequently they’ve been used in recent searches and how relevant those searches are to the recommended listings in your campaign. Suggested keywords are designed to help you target buyers who are actively looking for items like yours.
To help optimise campaigns, eBay provide you with suggested bids and bid ranges for all suggested keywords. As Advanced campaigns are based on a cost-per-click model, you get to choose how much each click is worth to you.
The suggested bid ranges are based on aggregate bids from listings that have previously appeared in the top slot of the search results. Using the suggested bids and bid ranges can help take the guesswork out of benchmarking the amount you're willing to bid.
