Message under banking details?

powersports57 — Fri, 28 Feb 2020 05:41:36 GMT

Hi all, could someone tell me what the message under my payments detail is? I have never noticed this. Cheers, Dave

I haven't found it in your listings, and I'm not going through over 400 of 'em.

What item number please?

All my listings appear to have a "sponsored Ad" this listing number had the ATO ad 293398648690

Appreciate you taking the time to look it over. Cheers, Dave

Just chatted with a Ebay rep, seems Google are sponsoring the ads, not bad, pay for a shop, FV % paypal fees etc and ebay takes another cut with sponsored ads. Imaging running an add in a magazine only to find another company logo appear in it. Oh well.

All sellers have got sponsored ads on their listings page it has been there for as long as I can remember.

I've got other sellers listings in my listings.

All that does is steer a potential buyer towards those other ads if those ads seem more welcoming.

If it's competitor's listings, then it's a horrible thing to happen.

But it doesn't show to me the same as your screenshot?

I see this under your listing, maybe it's rotating:

Everyone who looks at a particular listing would see a different sponsored ad because google ads are tailored to the person looking, not the listing it's on. It's the same with ads on any website - it's tied to your browsing history and google use cookies to track what sites you've been on and what you've looked at. That means sports may have been looking at something loosely related to the ad he/she is seeing.

Whats really odd about the OP's listing, is the ad is in Chinese for a fruit supplier in Melbourne and he sells car parts ? Google AdChoice maybe picked up a Chinese buyer from his previous sales ?

Maybe they searched for 'Corona' something !

It's the other way around,it is exactely the same type of items that are in the sponsered ads that the listings have.

If I look at a listing about something then the sponsered ads are about the same item.

It's not about the person.

It's not OPs listing that has the Chinese message,it's a sponsered ad that is on one of OPs listings.

And speaking of Corona,people in the US are refusing to buy Corona Beer unless the manufacturers change the name.
