Hi @razorsnmore4u,

Thanks for reaching out and sorry for the confusion. While the Elite advertising level does not unlock additional advertising platforms, it does allow us to bid higher on your items. If you sell products in highly competitive categories, such as jewelry or electronics, allowing us to bid higher on your listings increases the chance that you will appear higher in search results, directing more traffic to your booth. If you’re listing low-priced items, then a 30% bid isn’t all that much in the grand scheme of thing, and other sellers or retailers are probably spending more on advertising than you are, meaning they’re the ones getting the buyers!

The great thing about the advertising program is that you don’t spend anything up front, so it’s risk free. You only pay a slightly higher fee once your item sells (somewhere between 3.5% and the maximum selected commission) depending on the role advertising played in your sale, how many views it received, etc.

TurboTraffic packs allow us to buy a large amount of advertising up front for you. These packs do require payment in advance, and they don’t guarantee traffic or sales. On average, however, sellers see an increase of 300% on their traffic! This is a great option if you want to ensure that you are getting the max out of advertising at a specific time (for example, Black Friday). As @ccmom mentioned, make sure your listings are compliant with the advertising platform’s rules, otherwise neither option will be beneficial.

Hope that helps!
