If you have an eBay store, the full Promoted Listings tool is included in your store subscription. If you don't have a store, you can still promote your eligible listings with Promoted Listings Lite.
Promoted Listings for eBay store subscribers
If you have an eBay store, you can create Promoted Listing campaigns, and monitor their performance, through Seller Hub.
To create a Promoted Listings campaign:
- Go to Marketing in Seller Hub - opens in new window or tab and choose Promoted Listings.
- Select Create new campaign.
We'll take you through the process step-by-step – selecting which listings to promote, choosing how much you'd like to pay for the ads, and then reviewing and launching your campaign.
Tip
Any changes you make to your listing will automatically appear in your ad.
Promoted Listings fees
You choose how much you want to pay for your Promoted Listings – we call this the ad rate. The Promoted Listings system chooses which listings to show and where, based on the listing's ad rate, relevancy to buyer search, and quality of the listing.
Here's how the fees work:
- You choose an ad rate from 1% or more of the item's sale price. A higher ad rate means a higher likelihood of increased promotion
- Category trends are based on the average ad rates set by sellers using promoted listings or by third parties choosing to promote listings on our site. We update this information weekly. You can find the latest trends on our Seller Center
- If a buyer clicks or taps one of your ads and then buys the item within 30 days, you'll be charged an ad fee based on the rate you chose
- Ad fees are shown on your seller invoice

Promote your Listings without a store
If you don't have an eBay store, you can still advertise your item in premium places on eBay using Promoted Listings Lite. You'll see this option when you list an eligible item using the quick listing tool.
To be eligible for Promoted Listings Lite, you need to meet all of the following criteria:
- Your seller level is "Above Standard" or better
- The listing is in fixed price format (auction-style listings, including auction-style listings with a Buy It Now option, aren't eligible)
- The listing price adheres to our recommended price guidance
- The item is listed under any category except for Motors vehicle categories, Real Estate and Travel
- The listing includes at least 2 pictures
- The item condition isn't listed as "Parts not working"
- The listing doesn't offer local pickup
Promoted Listings Lite fees
The fee for promoting your listing is a percentage of the item's final sale price (similar to a final value fee), but we only charge you for a promoted listing if it helped your item sell.
Here's how Promoted Listings Lite fees work:
- We work out the ad rate when you create your listing, based on the price of similar items. You'll see the percentage we'll charge when you agree to promote your listing.
- If a buyer clicks or taps on your promoted listing and then buys the item within 30 days, you'll be charged the ad fee.
- If your item doesn't sell, or if a buyer finds your item through a non-promoted listing in search results, you won't be charged an ad fee.
- Ad fees are shown on your seller invoice.
