The featured listing has been around as long as eBay has been helping millions of people find what they are looking for on one website. The featured listing is a tool that many think should be used for expensive high ticket items like diamond rings, or luxury cars. However the featured listing has much more value for those selling information products like eBooks, and e-courses on eBay.

The first thing that comes to most peoples minds when you mention featured listings is the price, which is $19.95 at last check. The price however should not keep you from trying a featured listing auction, because it can pay larger dividends then just marketing one product.
