Sierra, that is one of the few ‘perks’ about having a store. Even a basic store would allow you to use this feature. If you don’t have a store, you can still post on social media but you just have to do it manually. So, you would copy and paste pictures from items from your listings and drops links in your Facebook, Twitter, etc. post. I did it this way for years.

@DTSM – What about eBay sellers who don’t have stores?

I find customer but Ebay will charge me advertising fee. I find customer and Ebay will steal them to direct to different store advertised on my listing? Are they trying to say they didn’t monopolized advertising on their platform? Doesn’t make sense . Ebay let other advertiszers (to sellers) on you platform to make you competition (in advertising) so you don’t create sick environment where you take advantage of sellers.

This is already available in the US under ‘Store’ in the seller hub: https://www.ebay.com/sh/str/social

I’ve used it for the past 2 weeks. Seems to be a good idea to drive traffic to your store. The app allows you to pick up to 4 items from your store to post on social media along with a custom message. You can provide a link to your store in the message text, or a reader can click on any one of your items you choose to display publicly.

lol

If eBay’s going to get me my sales (they have been doing extremely poorly in that area for the past year), then they can take their fees. If I’m going to find customers on my own through my own social media accounts, I will not be doing it through eBay and letting them charge me for finding my own customers. I will do that transaction through PayPal (or, better yet, a postal money order) and will forward the savings on to the buyer.
