Many thanks for the link. The link worked fine even though I had no email and nothing was on my eBay account.
I encourage others to try using this link even if they haven't been invited.

I've been a eBay member for over 10 years and have a feedback of over 800 and it's 100% good feedback and I've never ever had a invite . the offers only seem to go to people who don't use eBay much. people like me who make them money each and every month are forgotten about.

Not for me but I already have a £3 max final value fee deal on electronics that runs till 19th Sept so that could be why

Yep, I got both offers, I seem to get pretty much every one they do.
I sell about 20 things a month, mainly low value (less than £10), but do sell the odd thing that that's worth holding out for the these kind of offers. I've got some electrical stuff to list today which I was going to use the £3 FVF offer for, will be interesting to see if they automatically use the £1 FVF instead.
I also end any items I have listed on "worse" offers and relist them when these come around. As people say above, you do need to read the terms. The main one is these offers are nearly always only for single item listings.

I don't suppose you have a direct link please? I know they should show up in My Ebay but on one occasion it didn't for me, yet the direct link worked - strange I know.
I wish I had this as I have loads of valuable items to sell but nothing has showed up for me. Would be interesting to know if those who do have this offer, were you also offered the £3 FVF on electronics this month?

There's something I just don't get. I never pay for listings. For the best part of two years now it says I can list up to 100 items free each month. Why does it seem everyone else is getting charged? Beats me....

They're 're not talking about listing fees. They're talking about selling fees. You can list and not sell anything which won't cost you a penny. If you sell without a promo deal on, the fees are about 10%.

None for me again! Not had any decent FVF offers for a good few weeks now but my husband and dad get them every week on their accounts.

Same for me. These offers work but they're never emailed to me. I've only been able to access them from direct links on here. Can someone link it?

if you have more than one of the same item make sure to list them seperate as it voids the deal as I found out the hard way and paid £9 final value :disappointed:

Same thing happened to me, sold 2x £190 worth, first one was fine, 2nd one got charged full price. Spoke to ebay about this and they said i didnt read the t&c properly but did offer me 50% off fees as goodwill gesture !

Anyone have the direct link?
joshp to cheap-information
17 Sep 161#20
You're the third person to ask. Would anyone who has already received this offer care to share the direct link?
If you're not sure how, scroll to the bottom of your eBay home page and click on the link which says "learn more" in the offers description. Then copy and paste the link here.
Do you have the offer? If so please see my message above yours on how to obtain the direct link.
The link you gave is NOT a direct link. It link to your home eBay page. Thanks.

I dont have the offer but as far as I can see all available offers are listed on your selling page at the bottom that my link goes to. Both my link and yours showed a £3 FVF electronic items offer but not a £1 FVF for me

17 Sep 16#25
I understand what you're saying however the reason I've asked and a couple of others because on another occasion I was not invited however the direct link still worked.

Does it apply to Buy It Now or just Auction items?

Both. With Buy it Now though, you should only list 1 of each item..... ie quantity 1.

So you have to sell the item between 18th-19th? Why such a small window of er....opportunity?

So if I sell a £200 electrical item, I'll only pay £1 FVF plus 3.4% Paypal fees? Pretty sweet if true.

Apologies if I have misinterpreted your post but how would this be logical? I could make 10 accounts but only one or two of them will have built up enough feedback so that people will buy items from me. So yeah, whilst you may receive a promotional offer on one of your multiple accounts, it'll most likely be one with zero feedback attached to it or at best a few points. Or are you saying you maintain 3+ accounts or have this amount of accounts with good feedback attached to them? In which case, is it really worth all the hassle so you can profit from these promotions now and then?

The post stated 'vouchers' not promos - I think what was meant was to have loads of accounts, because quite often it's the less-used or 'dormant' accounts which get vouchers along the lines of '£10 off if you spend xx pounds' .
I got this promo and have also been getting the 100 listings per day promo for many months - I have a few thousand feedback and sell over 100 items per month, and have over a thousand items listed, as my selling limit is also in the thousands.... and it's a private account.
I honestly think it depends on what category you're in, as some categories are almost swamped with listings, whilst others might earn ebay more money than others I.e. more sales in that category per month - ebay is a business, so whatever they do, it will almost certainly swell eBay's coffers, and any advantage to us lesser mortals is a lucky coincidence for us. :smiley:

If you end and relist a current sale item would that enable the £1 offer or bar it?
jonb2412 to coathanger
18 Sep 162#61
I have just done that with lots of mine... no problem. As long as the quantity is only one you will get the £1 FVF. AND... I do this every time there is a good offer, anything to reduce the Final Valuation Fee.

Oh ok. I was thinking he was implying multiple accounts is a way to receive promotions, which are tied to a certain account.

I received the offer (again) and have opted in (again), does anyone know if this can be used for relisting items?? And if so do i have to do anything special?
And is it any relevance that the items i want to relist were also listed using this offer last time?

Hi can anyone help please ? if i revise my listing will this offer still apply ? thanks in advance for any advice :smiley:
jonb2412 to racha27
19 Sep 161#67
As long as the original listing is in the offer, revising it should make no difference. If you still have a few of the 100 listing allowances left... you could always end the item and just relist it. The offer doe not end till midnight tonight.
racha27
19 Sep 16#68
Thank you :smiley: it should be fine then as i already accepted the offer just i needed to revise my item ! x

Huh?!? I followed the link in the description, accepted the offer, but it says "Unfortunately, you can no longer sign up for this promotional offer because it has expired", whereas on my other account it says "this promotional offer is by invitation only".
How can it have expired when it's only 2:30pm on the 19th?!

Terms: "eBay reserves the right to suspend, change or cancel the promotion at any time, in the event of circumstances arising which, in eBay's opinion, make it necessary for it to do so".
Opening post
Starts at midnight tonight.
Check your offers at the bottom of the selling page.... best one for a while !!
OP, please can you also add a direct link. Thanks.
If you're not sure how please see comment 20.

The offer does not become active till midnight... so there is no "learn more" until it becomes active; I will try to do it in the morning
Possible link: http://pages.ebay.co.uk/promos/2016/3286.html
