How to Advertiseon eBay Daily Deals

EBay Daily Deals features items from select eBay sellers that are offered with free shipping and heavily discounted prices. The items featured on eBay Daily Deals are sold for a 24-hour duration, and are only replaced with other items during that timeframe when the inventory of a featured item has been fully depleted. EBay will consider adding your products to their Daily Deals program if you are an experienced seller with a large product inventory, high positive feedback scores, and a history of mass eBay sales. The metrics that eBay reviews to determine if you should be featured on Daily Deals are similar to the metrics they use in determining PowerSeller accounts. You must also have an eBay account manager assigned to your seller's account, which, like Daily Deals and PowerSeller accounts, is assigned to your account by eBay if they decide you qualify.



1. Maintain a high positive feedback rating. 98 percent of your feedback ratings from buyers must be positive for 12 consecutive months, as this factor demonstrates buyer satisfaction.


2. Follow eBay's rules and policies. This practice will demonstrate that you support eBay's business ethics and procedures.

• Refrain from using profanity in your listings, list items in the appropriate categories, and provide accurate information about the location from your items are shipped.
• Review the full list of eBay's rules and policies by visiting the eBay website provided in the Sources section of this article, then clicking on "Resolving selling problems" on the left. A complete list of rules and policies will be featured under the "Top Questions" section of the web page.

3. Keep your account in good standing. To be considered for a PowerSeller or Daily Deals account, you must pay your eBay fees on time to avoid account suspension.


4. Sell items consistently and steadily. EBay will examine your sales volume and earnings to determine if you have the ability to handle being featured on Daily Deals.

• Sell at least 100 items and earn at least 3,000 dollars (2186 euros) within a consecutive 12-month period to show that you can handle high-volume business.

5. Maintain a high score in all Detailed Seller Ratings (DSR). Buyers have the option to rate sellers in 4 categories; including "Item as Described," "Communication," "Shipping Time," and "Shipping and Handling Charges."

• Score at least 4.60 out of 5 in each category by accurately describing your items, responding to and communicating with your buyers in a timely manner, shipping your items on time, and charging a reasonable or appropriate amount for shipping and handling charges.
• Your account must have no more than 1 percent low ratings in the "Item as Described" category and no more than 2 percent low ratings in the other 3 categories. Low ratings are considered to be 1 or 2 stars out of 5 stars.

6. Maintain a low amount of "Protection" or "Resolution" cases. If buyers are not satisfied with your product, or if the item they receive is not as described in the listing, they may open cases with eBay's Resolution Center to obtain a refund or to file a dispute against you.

• If any such cases are opened, resolve the dispute immediately with the buyer. EBay Daily Deals will only consider you for the program if your unresolved cases are less than 0.30 percent.

7. Inform your eBay account manager that you want to be featured in Daily Deals. Your eBay account manager will then review your account and your ability to adhere to eBay's rules and policies before determining if you can participate in the Daily Deals program.

• If you do not have an eBay account manager, contact eBay directly to learn how one can be obtained. EBay will usually assign account managers to sellers based on their account metrics.
• Visit the eBay website provided in the Sources section of this article, then point to "Customer Support" in the upper-right corner.
• Click on "Customer Support" from the drop-down menu, then click on the "Contact EBay" tab. After selecting your reason for contacting eBay, you will be provided with the available methods for contacting an eBay representative.
