You can change the cross-promotions for all your listings at once:
Create rules. For example, you can make a rule that whenever someone bids on a DVD player, DVD movies are promoted.
Set display preferences (eBay Store sellers only). For example, you can specify that only items with a Buy It Now price are shown.
The rules and preferences you set will be automatically applied to all of your current and future listings so that no further effort is required on your part.
Creating rules
Go to My eBay and log in if required.
Click the “Marketing Tools” link in the left-hand navigation.
Click the “Edit” link to the right of Cross Promotions Defaults.
On the Default Cross-Promotions page, look over the list of rules. Click the "Edit" link for any rule you want to change, or click the "Create new rule" link to set up a new rule.
On the Create Rule page, use the available options to create the rule.
For most sellers, you can create rules based on the eBay categories your items belong to.
If you're an eBay Store seller, you can also make rules based on your Store categories and keywords in your item titles.
On the Verify Rule page, you'll see a sample of items that would be cross-promoted based on the rule. If you're satisfied with the results, click the Save Rule button. Otherwise, click the "Edit rule" link.
You can review all of your rules on the "Default Cross-Promotions" page. Note that if an item matches more than one rule, only the rule appearing highest in the list will be used. If you'd like to change the order of the rules on your list, use the arrow buttons to move rules up or down.
Setting display preferences (eBay Store sellers only)
Click the “Settings” link under Item Promotion in the left-hand navigation.
Under Cross-Promotion Display Preferences, you'll see options for when buyers view items and when they bid on or win items. Choose the options you want and click the Save Settings button.
You can also change the number of items that appear in the cross-promotion display, up to 12. If you choose more than four, a scroll bar will appear in the cross-promotion display, and your buyers can scroll through the cross-promoted items.
