Are these 20% Promotions Ebay Run For Partners, Helping Or Hindering Sales For Other Sellers

Hi Guy's,

 

Just wanted your thoughts on this.

 

I notice Ebay runs a lot of these 20% promotions every month. Thegoodguys, Binglee, Sony etc benefit greatly from being.... in a way, over-promoted. The marketing and advertising of these stores is not limited to just the ebay homepage either. I've had a "goodguys" banner directly underneath the "place a bid" box on my listings when i was selling an appliance.

 

My question is, have you experienced any slow down that coincides with these promotions?

 

From a buyer point of view, these promotions occur so frequently, it's almost expected every week. Why buy now, when you can wait a few weeks for another 20% off promotion?

 

It's certainly great for the buyers, but for the sellers point of view who are not benefitting from these 20% discounts, I just wonder what u guys think...
