Manage the sponsorship of several listings
How to sponsor, update or remove the eBay sponsorship of several listings at once with the Manage Sponsorship popup.
Before you start
- Tick the listings in the Inventory, or use Select All to take every listing matching search and filters, on other pages too.
- On eBay you must have accepted the promoted listings agreement.
- Sponsorship applies to whole listings, with all their variants. For a single listing see Sponsor a listing.
Manage Sponsorship fields
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sponsorship Type | Fixed: the percentage stays the one you set. Dynamic: eBay adjusts the percentage to its suggestions, adding the adjustment percentage, with the sponsorship percentage as the maximum |
| Sponsorship percentage | Percentage of the price paid to eBay; at least 2% |
| Adjustment percentage | Dynamic only |
The fields are only used to sponsor: they don't matter for the removal.
Sponsoring several listings
- In the bar at the bottom click Manage Sponsorship.
- Set the fields.
- Click Sponsor Listings. Listings already sponsored take the new values.
"The sponsorship of the selected listings has been started successfully. This operation may take a few minutes." appears.
Removing the sponsorship from several listings
- In the bar at the bottom click Manage Sponsorship.
- Click the red Remove Sponsorship button.
"The removal of sponsorship from the selected listings has been started successfully. This operation may take a few minutes." appears. Even after the removal a sale may show as sponsored: see Remove a listing's sponsorship.
What happens next
- The rows stay greyed out until the operation is done; the outcome is in Operations History.
- Sponsored listings show the Sponsor label and the AD line in the Profit column; after the removal they disappear.
