I haven’t begun listing items yet, because I’d like to know before hand how things work here, and I have a question about the advertising options..
When choosing a plan, is it global across all my items, or am I able to choose individual items, say as follows,
Item 1 is set to basic low fee plan
Item 2 is set to highest fee plan.
Let’s put it this way, I don’t want to pay highest fee plan to advertise the cheap little stuff, but figure it’s worth it to advertise the more expensive and bigger stuff in order to sell it faster.
Can different items or categories be on different plans?
Thank you

As @KarensCollections stated, the advertising is “global”, meaning all your items are advertised at the same rate. HOWEVER, you could create a second booth and separate your items between the booths and use different advertising rates for each.

It is Global for the booth, however, you can remove some of the items from the google shopping feed and these will not be charged at the advertising FVF level, but at the 3.5% regular fee.
Use of other methods for advertising these item, like social media, posting on blogs, and google organic searches..
I use this for some of the lowest cost items where the extra % is really not feasable and will just waste the ad clicks that can be used for more profitable items
To suppress items from a google feed
Batch Edit
Search Optimize
Select items to remove from google shopping
Suppress Google Shopping submission
Click on Enable
These items will not appear in google shopping but will appear in google organic…searches

It’s global. I wouldn’t go over the 9% though. Sales are extremely slow here no matter what level you choose.

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
