Thanks I will try again right after this workshop.

Can I combine the ebaycanada promo with the ebayfeatured promo?

There is only one banner per page so insetad of stacking ads on top of eachother - the ads are rotated in and out based on who the highest bidder is. Highest bidder gets their ad shown first, 2nd highest bidder is next, and so on...

thanks

When will Text based ads be available for Users. I have used Keywords on .com and would like to use text ads on .ca.

Hi able-wizard

You do not have to have an eBay Store. You just have to have at least one active listing.

thanks!

I would like to use a text ad next to the banner similar to .com

Hi starlandstudio Message #17,
You specify a maximum amount of money you're willing to pay for someone to click on your ad. The highest bidder's ad will display first when someone searches for that keyword. It will be displayed three times per user. Then the second highest bidder's ad will appear after, and so on.

Thanks,
eBay Keywords Team

Thanks- that makes sense.

hi niko -

ebayfeatured is a promotion for Stores on the US site so it would not work at this time for a Store on the Canada site. But stay tuned!

thanks!

eBay Keywords Team

[starlandstudio]

sort of. Does that mean that the same user would have to search the same keyword a fourth time before the second highest bidder's as appears?

[niko_and_co]

So this ebaycanada promo is only for store on ebay.ca?

[keywordteam@ebay.com]

knarfdotca

Thanks for the question! Considering that we just launched on Canada - it will be some time before we determine if we are going to offer text boxes on the Canada site.

Thanks!

Thanks

starlandstudio

You are exactly right. The same user would have to do four searches before seeing the 2nd highest bidder's ad.

thanks

That kind of sux. So if your budget is relatively small, what can you do to maximize your exposure. Less ads at higher bids, or more ads at lower bids?

Hi niko -

eBay Keywords can be used by any seller on either the US or Canada site to promote their listings or Store on either site. The ebaycanada promo is for Canadian sellers that hav not used eBay Keywords before.

thanks!

So if my store is on US, I'm registered on Canada, do my ads show up on US or Canada's site?

[keywordteam@ebay.com]

niko -

I think that a good strategy if your budget is limited is to pick only a few words that are really important to your business - and try to be the highest bidder on those.

thanks!

niko -

When you set up your ad campaign - the first thing you do is select which site you want the ads to run on: US or Canada.

thanks!

Thanks for all your answers. I think I understand it much better now.

[starlandstudio]
