Just to update everyone on my experimental use of the ebay "homepage featured" for about $40 for this listing!?! My listings typically get 30 - 60 views over the course of a 5 or 7-day listing. The "homepage featured" listing got over 400 views within the first 48 hours of the 10-day listing. 'Til the end of the auction, views got up to high 600's/broke 700. Even with all those views, there were only 2 bids, including one from sniper Jake!
I never did see my listing featured on the ebay homepage, but I assume it was listed at least once. My listing was 1 of about 2700 homepage featured items. This was higher than the normal which I think hovers around 1700 (inflated number was due to the same half-price promotion that I tried to take advantage of, I'm sure).
Were my other listings frequented more? Maybe a little, but none broke 100 views and none had more than 2 bidders. Would I do it again, or recommend it? Most likely NOT! Doesn't seem to be a cost effective expenditure of $40! Next time I feel like spending extra money for my listings, I will try one of the cheaper promotional methods like several posters here recommended. BTW, thanks for the input & opinions!
Hey Jake! What color lettering would you like on a black shirt? How do you like navy blue shirts and what color lettering do you like on navy? (I think I like navy better than black.) NOT promising anything, of course!
Anyone else is welcome to chime in with fav. shirt colors!....
