Ebay and watchers and sales

spyglassdesign

I know many people here sell on eBay and some have stores. I have found the markdown sale tool very handy. But what has sort of perplexed me is when I run a sale (such as end of the year sale going on now), I wish there was a way to set an alert or a prompt to let viewers know the sale is ending soon type of deal. When I look at my product pages it shows its on sale but I don't see a clear indication of when the prices go back up.

Am I missing something? I feel like I wish there was a way to express that if they are really interested, they need to think about it quickly before the sale ends! Maybe a banner next to the sale indicator... Sale ends on x date?

Wondered the same thing. Hope you get an answer.

You can entitle your promotion. Can't you put the date there?

It doesn't seem so... I can give it an event description but that only shows on the sales page, ie if I click the red text on an item page that says 'save up to 16%'... I can't change that part (that I can find).

I'll try playing around later

@jmlanzaf It will show if you click the link "Save up to 16%" at the top of the listings, but not on the listings themselves.

It seems the only way thus far is to change the titles of the products which is a pain. I know I could put it in the descriptions too but the mobile app doesn't show the descriptions often times unless you click a link, so often not directly on the product pages.

It actually shows a bit down the page for me.

When I go to a listing, all the way below the description it does finally show. I checked in a private window to see what others see.

Maybe someday they will implement a way to make it more apparent. But I'm not holding my breath!
