Lets move on to Cross Promotion Connections

Cross Promotion connections allow sellers to promote each others items along with their listings.

Benefits of Cross Promotion Connections
Cross-promotion connections enable more buyers to discover your items because they will be
promoted through other sellers' listings as well as your own.

How does a cross-promotion connection work?
1. You request a connection with a seller you know and trust. You may even receive a request from another seller, which you can accept or decline.

2. An active connection is formed when you or the other seller accepts a connection request.

3. When a buyer bids on or wins an item listed by you or the other seller, both your items and the other seller's items will be promoted to the buyer.

To request a cross promotion connection with another seller

▪ Click on the "Cross-Promotion Connections" under "My Account" in My eBay.
▪ Click Request New Connection under "Pending Connections: Requests I've Sent."
▪ Enter the Seller's User ID or Shop Name to request a connection. eBay will then send a standard message to the seller notifying the seller of your request.

If another seller requests a Cross Promotion Connection with you, details of the same will appear under Pending Connections in your my eBay – My Account- Cross Promotions Connections- Pending Connections.

A common question asked by most sellers is;

Why would one seller cross promote another sellers products?
Sellers use this feature to cross promote complimentary categories. For example: A tie with a shirt or curtains with bedroom furniture etc.

You can also choose items from other sellers that you are willing to cross promote, by changing your selection preferences.

For this, click on "Edit" under preferences.
For example, you can choose to excluse items from the same category as your item.
