Coming Soon! Changes to Optional Seller Features
Dear eBay Sellers:
We will be rolling out some exciting new changes to our optional seller
features found within the Sell Your Item Page. We are making changes to
the seller features in order to help you better showcase your auction
listings throughout our site.
Some of these changes, as in the case of Featured in Category, also involve
a price increase. We have, however, increased the value of Featured in
Category by adding Featured in Search* capabilities, thereby increasing
your ability to reach even more customers. This new feature will be named
Featured Plus! (featured in category PLUS featured in search). By adopting
Featured Plus!, you will now receive more than double the visibility on
your auction listings than what you currently receive in Featured in Category.
Since we have increased the value of the feature dramatically, we are
also increasing the price of the feature. Featured Plus will be offered at
an introductory price of $19.95.
Currently, we offer the following optional seller features on the Sell
Your Item page:
| Existing
Optional Seller Features |
| Bold |
$2.00 |
| Featured |
$99.95 |
| Featured in
Category |
$14.95 |
Great Gift Icon |
$1.00 |
The Gallery |
| $0.25 |
Gallery Image |
| $19.95 |
Gallery Featured
|
|
And did you know these features
work well?
** Items that use Gallery Image
are 8% more likely to sell **
** Items that use Bold are 27% more likely to sell **
** Items that use Featured in Category
are 58% more likely to sell **
In the middle of August, we will be enhancing these Seller Features even more! Here's
a preview of what will be available to enhance your eBay successes: (Just
click on "see it" to see how it looks.)

$19.95 (introductory price)
|
Featured
in Category will now be called "Featured Plus!" because
you'll find it featured in category PLUS featured in search
results pages* (see
it!)
|
| |
* Featured in search will work in the
following way:
When a user types in a search request, the search will pull
up the first 50 search results that match the request. The
site will pull all the featured auctions from the list of
50 and showcase just these items in the special featured
section above the general search results. If the user hits
the "Next" button, the site will pull up the next
50 search results that match the request. The site will
then pull all the featured auctions from the second set
of 50 search results and just showcase these items on the
page..and so on....

We are extremely excited about these new feature changes and we hope you
are too! We believe these feature changes will give you additional options
from which to choose. In addition, we are confident that these new features
will help you boost bidding on your auctions even more!
So be sure to look for the new optional Seller Features that will
be
coming your way in the middle of August!
Warmest Regards,
eBay
