Promoted Listings not so Promoted

Have a item for sale, not a lot of views so thought I would try a promoted listing. In 4 days the number of views for the itme has increased by ZERO.  🙄

Hello,

I truly mean this in the kindest way possible, but maybe your item just isn’t that popular?

[bpl521_sell]

No offence taken, agree not a item in popular demand. But I think Ebay caters to the PowerSellers and directs searches accordingly. Long gone are the days when the average Joe/Jane would have luck cleaning out the garage by putting up items. Afraid that audience is lost.

Are there many other similar items for sale right now? Does this item have a good track record for sales in the past few months?

It may be that there’s little interest in your item right now.

Item is just a one off, more disappointed that the so called promotion really isn't such a big deal.
