eBay’s Promoted Listings Advanced campaigns prioritize Above Standard and Top Rated Sellers’ listings at the top of search results for specific keywords, limited to four sponsored listings per search. Advanced campaigns now focus solely on the site where items are listed to improve performance. Using a second-price auction pay-per-click model, bids are influenced by factors like listing quality, keyword relevance, bid amount, competitors’ bids, and eBay’s minimum click value. Sellers can streamline campaign management by organizing listings into ad groups based on shared attributes and audiences.
Promoted Listings Standard vs. Promoted Listings Advanced
Top-of-SERP placement incurs charges per click, with advanced campaign management options resulting in a 50% sales increase. Conversely, Promoted Listings Standard operates on a cost-per-sale model, appearing in multiple eBay locations and targeting customers based on product data. Sellers pay a predetermined percentage of the sale price only when purchases are made within 30 days of clicking the ad, making PLS ads a cost-effective choice for broad exposure.
How do Promoted Listings Advanced Ads Work?
PLA ads utilize targeting and budget controls to secure top-of-search and premium slot placement for relevant keywords, enhancing product visibility. Total campaign costs depend on keyword bids, competitors’ bids, and clicks received. Unspent daily budget does not roll over. Winning the auction involves bid amount, listing quality, keyword relevance, and daily budget. Low-quality listings targeting irrelevant keywords won’t display ads.
