Quote:**Coming soon: Graphical Ads on eBay pages***
Recently, we have started displaying Google text ads on certain search results pages. This was done to improve the user experience on pages with null results search and searches where complementary offerings can be made available. We will like to extend this to graphical ads from reputed brands on limited pages on eBay India. This opportunity will be extended to companies interested in exploring branding opportunities or offering services to eBay users and visitors.
Sometime in the month of March, members can expect to see graphical ads at the following locations:
- On the Home Page, on the right side, and the pop-up.
- On Search Result pages, the ads will be placed between the eBay logo and the search results. Ads will also be placed just above the eBay footer at the bottom of the page.
- On certain category listings pages, the ads will be placed between the eBay logo and the search results
We have done a significant amount of testing and analysis with graphical ads in other markets as well as Google text ads on eBay India. We will be also leveraging our learnings from the Baazee days when we had similar ad display. Our number one concern is ensuring that the changes we make are right for our sellers and buyers. We will be continuously monitoring the impact of any changes carefully, as well as listening to your input.
