General Ads issue

Hi, I’m an eBay seller. Yesterday I got the eBay Starter Pro plan. Before this, I was getting regular sales through eBay general advertising. However, today I’m not getting many sales. When I checked randomly on eBay, my products were not showing as sponsored. Then I checked my inventory, and there the advertising is still turned on.

Are you serious ?

It's been one day since the plans changed ... or are you trying to advertise your products. ?

I did hear a rumour that sellers who appear to be dropshipping, or at least using copied images from sites like Amazon, Temu, Aliexpress etc ...would experience less exposure of their items, but it may not be true!

I hope it is true

Far too many purveyors of rubbish lifting photos from other sites coming here wanting to know why they go a few hours without a sale

Regardless of anything else, as soon as I see a seller with ads that have been lifted from a scam website like Temu etc and scream drop shipping, I hit the back button real fast
