Thanks OP

Oops - sorry. Thought I had but ...

Thanks didn't get the 75% off offer the other day but have checked and been invited for this one. I've been waiting to list few high value items so this is great :smile:

What's the link for the promotion please? The one in the op doesn't appear to be working.

Found this in my account inbox..
Happy days. Thanks OP..

You're welcome. I've enjoyed a lot of your deals so hope you benefit from this.

anyone have a link.. I don't get the invite but the links work. RSVP not always required

There was a 75% offer posted yesterday which has disappeared and now this one,I'm not invited to any :neutral_face:

You've accepted the offer "Sell for £1 max!"

thx OP :smiley:

I tried a different account,it seemed to be valid but there's nothing in the bottom of my selling page to say I have these 100 listings,so that's a bit odd.

I had that as an after thought as they usually start on a Sunday I thought it was from today :smile:

Cheers :smile:

No problem - good luck with the selling!!!

My fault,I thought today was the 30th doh!!

Thanks op, worked in my account

some joker gave me a negative for nothing much the other day so I am getting a bit close to falling below standards

Ebay sort of agreed ie they deleted his comment but still left the negative to stand, sellers really are at a disadvantage

And I thought tomorrow was Halloween!

No pleasing some people I'm afraid. Some would complain at being given something for free and many complain about deals posted on here for very odd reasons!!!

Best deal today, great timing!

Unfortunately, you can no longer sign up for this promotional offer because it has expired.

So could you provide a link please?

I don't think a proper link can be given until the offer goes live, ie midnight tonight...

first comment

you think wrong

I just used the link above & it worked great

Nice - got a Mac Mini I need to sell, thanks OP

Using the link above I get:

"Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only."

???

thanks pal :smile:

Thanks. Hope I get this tonight. This doesn't usually show up in my ebay until midnight. I never get the emails.

Somehow ebay still charges me around £400 monthly :/

I assume you are selling a few grands worth of stuff

Thanks, heated, I was eligible under the link but as usual absolutely zero communication from eBay so could well have passed me by. Told them numerous time I don't get the emails but they insist I'm signed up to receive everything....

Much as I like these selling offers and long may they continue, I think it's about time they did another 10%/20% off buying promotion, seems to have been ages since there was one last, wish they would do more of them as they benefit sellers just as much as buyers with all the increased traffic....

You've already accepted the offer "Sell for £1 max!" :smiley:

clicked link again & looking good :smiley:

oh great another INVITATION ONLY deal! Same as the last one.

USELESS!

Voted COLD!

Good luck!

Ace!!!

Fingers crossed.

You're welcome - hope the sales go well.

Spooky deal

Using the link I get:
'You can no longer sign up for this promotional offer as it has expired'
However checking my mail i have the 75% off offer so not all bad i guess

They are usually on every Sunday so check your selling pages,although people say the offers don't show up when using a mobile to view,I wouldn't know as I try not to use my phone :laughing:

Does not work... unless you can see the offer in your active promotions on the bottom of the page, don't be fooled. These are account specific offers only.

it'll pop up in a few hours if you get the success page

Rubbish.

oh yes it will :smiley:

You've already accepted the offer "Sell for £1 max!" :smiley:

try & believe it when you see good evidence, pal

I have contacted ebay customer services. It is account specific only.

More than likely you will see it tomorrow on your selling page.

No. It is account specific only... as are all these offers.

well, I will :smiley:

noodles won't because it's all 'rubbish' lol - what a swell, eh :smiley:

But most people have some sort of offer every Sunday these days,but if you don't wanna check that's up to you :smirk:

I get my offers when they come in. My point is you cannot activate other people's offers. They are definitely account specific. You get different offers even if you are in the same household.

​thanks. was either not loading or not showing any comments at the time. :disappointed:

every offer is account specific

most offers are also widely available if you get in quick :smiley:

I've successfully got many 75%s off & £1 FVFs in the last 6 months - thanks to posters here with good links

I've not received any offers from Ebay via email/ messages

I think the main issue is: many/most Ebay seller a/cs are permitted to use these deals, but don't realise it.

Because the communication is poor.

Ebay no doubt knows this but doesn't care because there's a limit on numbers to each deal.

Interesting
............,....

great link. Thanks

Boring
--------

you could try to post more interesting stuff?

good that you know your weakness

Thanks, working for me. Better offer than 75% off for higher value sales and for lower value sales the difference between 75% off and £1 isn't significant.

I just received it in Ebay messages too.

This offer is by invitation only. Won't work for me :disappointed: Would have been ideal. Got a few things to sell but dislike eBay because they charge so much normally.

Check Ebay tomorrow you may have another one,some peeps have 75% off fees.

I got the offer too,definitely need offers like this when so many non genuine people waste your time and don't pay!they should be banned but ebay don't seem to care

says expired for me

Interesting, I normally get most of the offers but I never received the last £1 promotion the other week, nor have I received this or the 75% off. What do I have to do to get them, I've stopped selling since then to see if they will tempt me back :laughing:

On the other hand, my father's account has got both.

Do you even know who you are defending?

Just appeared in my promotions section, although I never sell anything over a tenner, but I just end and relist (using sell similar) to give some unsold ones a new boost for anyone searching by newly listed......... always get a sale or two that way, likewise when something is a couple of days away from ending it also attracts buyers.

The difference might not be significant per sale, but it all adds up - something selling at £6 freepost means 60p to ebay, but with 75% off it's only 15p so a saving of 45p - I sell over 100 items every month so am quite happy to save every penny I can.

just be carefull if you end listings by cancelling bids to relist under this offer, just noticed i have £55 bill for a listing i ended under the last deal even though i cancelled all bids,a grovelling phone call to ebay tomorrow me thinks

I got 75% off not £1 but still decent I guess. Thanks for making me check OP.

That's a fair point. I was really thinking of low volume sellers like myself but didn't think to make that clear.

Active

:smiley:

and all with the link above lol

Damn sold 2 items yesterday evening for £9 commission, wish I'd seen this

You're welcome. Shame about the £1 offer but 75% better than nothing!

When you go to cancel or end and item it tells you you will likely end up paying fvf. So be careful of this.

Thanks OP

If my listing ends after 31st Oct (but starts within the event period) do I get the promotional fee price? Or does it have to end within the promotion window too?

It just has to start within it.

I can't believe you did that :smile:

is this good for selling a macbook
then its only the paypal fees?

I don't seem to have this promotion! Does everyone have it?

yep - everybody - if you follow the link :smiley:

There would normally have to be a very good reason for ebay to stop sending you promos - it's possible that the category you usually sell in is not being 'promoted' by ebay at the moment, but the main reason would be a problem with your account - you have not dealt with buyer's return problems, too much negative feedback, unresolved cases, and so on...... those sorts of things all add up and an automated system will have decided you will firstly have your listings hidden (many debates on that one) and also not be offered promos until you resolve whatever the problem is.
Anyone at all who thinks they have a problem can join in on the ebay forums/ discussion boards and ask questions - older and wiser heads will often help you get to the bottom of it.
You will sometimes get sarcasm from those who have seen it all before, and get annoyed with people trying to say their account is all ok and perfect, when there is actually a problem which has been ignored and they are now being punished for........ but some helpful people will generally take the time to guide you, so it's always worth asking.

I have a listing in the electronics category that's been up for a couple weeks. Would this qualify if I sell it today or tomorrow?

You take your life in your hands selling higher value stuff sometimes... ask on the ebay forums for advice, as it sounds like the sort of thing which you can post to a buyer, and the buyer says it has not arrived, or is faulty in some way - ebay or paypal will take the money out of your account and refund the buyer, when very often the buyer does not even return the item you sent them !
There are people selling that sort of thing safely, but if you have not done it before I really would get advice.

I thought that's how it worked. I also have a non-paying bidder. The last time this happened to me ebay took the selling fee, and then I ended up with a credit on the account once the non-pay case concluded.

IMO there seems to be a lot of scammers (both buyers and sellers) in the ebay marketplace. I've only sold around 20 items, and had 2 non-payers, a good few cancel purchases on buy it now - said a voucher expired, and a few messages wanting to bid outside of the ebay auction. Yes I've had some decent buyers.

Go to the promotional offers section, click on 'learn more' and then click on 'terms and conditions', where all the rules are explained for everyone ......... every time there's an offer, there are always posts here from people who do not read the rules..........

That's exactly why I'm asking, I don't want to trawl through a wall of text, thought you could do it for me but no luck.

I used to get these offers emailed all the time, now I've probably not had one in my inbox since about a year ago :disappointed:

What even if it is a Buy It Now auction only (so no bids only watchers), you still get charged a FVF if you end the listing? Surely not.

Unfortunately, you can no longer sign up for this promotional offer because it has expired.

I have this message:

Unfortunately, you can no longer sign up for this promotional offer because it has expired.

What am I doing wrong? :disappointed:

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

That's interesting, whilst I certainly have had no issues on my eBay. All my 1500 feedback is 100% positive, no returns ect... the only thing I can note which does tie in with when I stopped receiving these promotions is that recently my father asked me to help list him some items on his account. When I started using his account on my PC (we live at different addresses) he now seems to be getting the offers and not me. eBay know this because the his account got temporarily locked and I had to ring a number to do a security check - I think because be have different IP address their systems flagged this. I also had to enter my eBay ID at the time because eBay asked what ID's were associated with my address while on his account.

I will perhaps resort to the eBay forums as I would like to find a solution for this. Do you have any ideas? Perhaps eBay think I am now selling my items on his account hence why they stopped giving me promotions which sucks as I don't want to use his account but I will do if they only offer him promotions.

buy it now is a listing not an auction

no you don't get charged a FVF if you end it early

Ahh, I had a massive bunch of things that I've been wanting to sell, which I was hoping to procrastinate about selling for the next year... Looks like I've been pushed into listing them haha.

there are definitely more scammers around

just selling an item & sending it with no tracking is a licence to steal (for them)

Thanks. Would you say signed delivery minimum? I've had a few buyers say to me your postage fees are too high. I replied I have to buy packing materials, and send this item recorded. I do use only Royal Mail though.

edit: oh and Ebay take a cut of the postage fee!

Thank you.

Why is this promotion not available to me? :disappointed:

Not working for me unfortunately which is a shame because I have something to sell as well.

Thx Op, caught this on this thread posted 2 weeks back, sold item this very morning for £340 and Im only pay £1
:smiley:
well pleased

iv never received any offers like this, never :disappointed:

I would never end an item which had bids to list under a new offer. Shooting yourself in the foot. Your new listing may not get any bids and it is not fair on bidders.

What happens if say you have items for sale before this promotion came into affect does the offer automatically cover what you listed b4 or have you got to go through the link (offer) and relist everything once more in order to get this offer and end your original listings early?(If this makes any sense)?

You have to relist yes. The offer does not apply to anything listed previously.

I send my items either signed for (RM) or Collect+ tracked

Just occasionally the wife hands me a lower value item to sell and if the buyer has a great track record, eg 500+ items & great feedback as a buyer, I might send it normal post, not a big deal if you had to write off the cost if buyer claimed they didn't receive it

nor have I - I just click on the links when I see them on HUKD

Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only.

Said for me

"Unfortunately, you can no longer sign up for this promotional offer because it has expired."

So it's expired? :neutral_face:

That's because you probably sell loads on eBay so they know they don't need to give you these offers.

I only buy stuff on eBay, so I get sent these offers 2-3 times a month.

I know I know anyway the good people at eBay have refunded them so all good lesson learned

so there's a one day window and it's account specific... great :laughing:
i'm not voting either way :stuck_out_tongue:

For the 75% off it says "Listings do not have to successfully sell during the promotional period to be eligible. " so might be the exact same for the £1 ones.

I took advantage of a similar offer last time. I was charged almost £40 in fees and the offer disappeared from my eBay inbox/promotional offers section. Thankfully the customer service advisor was helpful and refunded me the £39.

Best to check your account summary after selling just to be sure you're not over charged

Thanks.
Found 75% offer on my account instead, brilliant!

Hot if you use ebay.i like many others wouldnt touch it anymore,fees,postage,fake profiles,no paying bidders hardly worth it these days

What do you use instead?

I've not sold on eBay for a couple of years, the prospect of dodgy buyers not paying or claiming against you for not fulfilling the order puts me off.

gumtree,schpock or amazon marketplace,the latter being the best :smiley:

I'd guess that they are too high then. That's never been an accusation leveled at me. I only charge what it costs to post, and if it transpires that it costs less than I said, then I refund the difference.

Login to your eBay account off a desktop or laptop guys

I had the invitation only message when I clicked the linked from the OP from my mobile

But when I logged in from my PC, scroll right to the bottom of the Selling section on my eBay and there's a section called promotions

I had the free fvf listing offer there and simply had to accept it.

Worth a try as the eBay mobile app and mobile site are useless

The fact i spelt it wrong is probably due to my dyslexia :wink:

Can someone please tell me how to register for offers?

Gumtree has been owned by eBay for many years, hadn't heard they had sold it to their biggest rival Amazon.

I listed stuff for 7 days during the last £1 FVF promo fees but they didn't sell, I resisted and they finish tomorrow, anyone know if I will still get the £1 FVF? Also had someone bid then cancel after auction finished so had to relist, will I get the offer if someone wins the relist?

Damn.been waiting for this but looks like I've missed it getting 'expired'

to be honest ive sold loads of stuff on shpock.never had a problem.handy too for big items as they are usually close by :smiley:

And?

Thanks anyway, it spurred me on to change the spell checker to UK in Chrome.

Look now - leveled

​no I don't sell on eBay too , just a buyer like yourself

has this expired?

I urge people having difficulty finding this to check their selling page at the bottom under Promotional Offers but only on the desktop page (does not appear on mobile or app) the 75% off final value fee was on mine so have cancelled and resisted all my listings today as this will only apply after you accept the offer.

So as long as the Listing is created and activated before 31st 23:59 it will apply?

For example the auctions start date are all next week. Will that still qualify under this promotion?

Thanks

Looks like it's expired. It isn't in my promotional offers on the desktop site and when I click the link it says it's no longer available.

anyone know when this might next be available? got something expensive to sell and would rather do it during the £1 FVF offer :smiley:

What if I list an item now but it sells few days later ? Will I still be charged a FVF of a quid ?

Yes.

:disappointed: clicked the link and forgot to list... nooo.

:confused::laughing:

Is there any way to check whether you opted in for previous promotions as I'm sure I opted in on OH's account for the £1.00 promo and something did sell but I've been charged the full FVF ?

[quote=deb8z]Is there any way to check whether you opted in for previous promotions as I'm sure I opted in on OH's account for the £1.00 promo and something did sell but I've been charged the full FVF ?[/qu
If you scroll down to the bottom of your selling page it should show promotional offers and there is the option to view 'Active' and 'History' so it should appear in the history one.

I thought you could view it somewhere but for the life of me I couldn't see it :laughing:

Found it now and I did accept the offer and yet I was charged more than a pound so I will have to contact them :neutral_face:

Good luck

thought id update this. got my email with fees at £18.50 which meant the promo didn't work. after talking to ebay seems I received the promo on the 15th and accepted it on the 15th but it didn't start until the 16th. which seemed daft. anyway ebay waved the fees and put it to £1. so give them a ring if anyone has had same issue

Are you on the correct thread,16th of what,this started on October 30th so I'm confused?

sorry, 15th of novemeber so yeah it was the invoice for october
