POST/ad_campaign

This method can be used to create a Promoted Listings general, priority, or offsite campaign.

A Promoted Listings campaign is the structure in which you place the ads or ad group for the listings you wish to promote.

Note: Campaigns can only contain ads for a maximum of 50,000 items.
General strategy campaigns utilize a Cost Per Sale (CPS) funding model. Sellers can set the ad rate and bidding strategies that are right for their business through the adRateStrategy, biddingStrategy, bidPercentage fields. For more information on general strategy campaigns, see Promoted Listings general strategy campaign flow.

Priority strategy campaigns utilize a Cost per Click (CPC) funding model. Sellers can create a daily budget through the budget container and choose what channel that their ads appear on. In addition, priority strategy campaigns give sellers the ability to create ad groups and specify keywords to ensure their ads reach their intended audience. For more information on priority strategy campaigns, see Promoted listings priority strategy campaign flow.

Promoted Offsite campaigns give sellers the ability to create their own advertising campaign and promote their eBay listing in leading external search channels. For more information on Promoted Offsite campaigns, see Promoted Offsite.

Note: Sellers can use the getAdvertisingEligibility method of the Account API v1 to determine their eligibility status for eBay advertising programs.
To create a basic campaign, supply:

  • The user-defined campaign name
  • The start date (and optionally the end date) of the campaign
  • The eBay marketplace on which the campaign is hosted
  • Details on the campaign funding model
For details on creating Promoted Listings campaigns and how to select the items to be included in your campaigns, see Promoted Listings campaign creation.
