Adverts on Ebay Listings

[holster100]

What is the deal with businesses advertising on Ebay?

I think it is very wrong when you are trying to sell an item and on your lisiting page appears advert selling simular items as you are.

EG: Im listing a laptop for sale and an advert is on my listing

from a company with laptops on sale.

I dont think this is very fair.

That's solved easily.. Just get Chrome or Firefox and install Adblock Plus.. Then you won't get any ads

true...but... it is not us seeing the ad we worry about ... it is our potential buyers, clicking on one of our listings and getting carried off to god knows where in cyber space, never to return to ebay again (or at least not to buy what we listed)

To be honest, as a buyer I hardly take any notice of them.... But then again I usually know what I am looking for and look then for the best deal, I can get.

I would rather buy at Auction then BIN... the only time I use BIN is when it is a very hard thing to find and I want it in a hurry.

There are a few times I think BIN costs the stores a lot of money as some get carried away with prices on things and to me keeping stock too long costs more then turning some things over quicker.

If it is any consolation to anyone in Australia even if I am on the Aus site and looking at a listing for an item of clothing the ad most often displayed is for Sky TV or one of the UK's big banks 😄
