Why most sellers overpay for Promoted Listings
Promoted Listings ad rate is charged on top of the final value fee, only when the buyer clicks the promoted slot AND buys within 30 days. Sellers default to 5-10% without checking the break-even math — and on thin-margin items that ad rate quietly wipes the profit.
The right move: calculate your break-even ad rate per listing, then start at 60-70% of it. Raise only if impressions stay flat.
