Key Points

The new rules require that from June 25, 2018, sellers must sell the goods at the same price within 14 calendar days before they can conduct price reduction promotions through Promotions Manager. However, eBay exempted some sellers from this promotion restriction. However, these sellers also need to pay attention that the market price indicated in the promotion should be the most recent selling price of the goods, or the pricing of similar products. eBay may have introduced this policy because it is worried about being accused of deceptive advertising.
