On Sunday 29th March, clocks will be springing forward once again, going ahead one hour at 1:00 GMT to 2:00 BST. The necessary adjustment to the eBay official time will be made to reflect this change.

As a reminder, all items that are listed before the time change will still run for exactly the same length of time of 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 or 30 days. This means that if an item begins at 1:00PM before 29th March and ends after the time changes, the ending time will be changed to 2:00PM instead of 1:00PM.

If you're a seller on eBay.co.uk looking to increase the visibility of your listings, eBay AdCommerce is a new tool to help you do just that. Adcommerce is available on eBay.co.uk. See below for further details

About eBay AdCommerce:
eBay AdCommerce is a pay-per-click advertising programme that lets eBay sellers promote their listings and eBay Shops via ads ('sponsored results') on eBay search result pages.

AdCommerce is another powerful advertising option for eBay sellers who want to drive more traffic to their listings and eBay Shops. Your ads will be shown on search results pages to buyers that are searching for a keyword, which covers your item.

How AdCommerce works:
Let's say you sell laptops and want your ad to appear when buyers search for the keyword 'computer' on eBay. You would need to decide your maximum 'cost per click' bid for the keyword 'computer'; that is, how much you're willing to pay each time a buyer clicks on your ad after running a search for 'computer'.

If you're one of the highest bidders in terms of cost per click for that keyword, your ad - which can include a title, a short description, and an optional image - will appear near the bottom of the search results page when a buyer runs a search for 'computer'.

When you create these kinds of advertising campaigns with AdCommerce, you can specify the maximum you want to spend on clicks. Once your budget is used up, your ads will stop appearing or you can add to your budget if you want to continue advertising.

With AdCommerce, there are no setup fees and no minimum payments: you pay only when a buyer clicks on your ad and goes to your listing or eBay Shop.

Get started now
It only takes a few minutes to register and create your first ad. To get started now, or read more about the service, go to http://www.adcommerce.co.uk.

From today, there's no insertion fee if you’re a private seller and you list your item in the auction-style format with a starting price of up to 99p (eBay.co.uk) or €1.49 (eBay.ie). Final Value Fee rates have also changed.

Zero insertion fees means that if you’re a private seller, you pay the majority of fees only when you successfully sell an item in a qualifying category. For full terms and conditions, visit http://pages.ebay.co.uk/sell/private-sellers-pricechange/ (eBay.co.uk) or http://pages.ebay.ie/sell/private-sellers-pricechange/ (eBay.ie)

Fees for business-registered sellers using the auction-style format and all sellers using the fixed price format or Buy It Now will be unchanged.
