Thanks OP :smiley:

Link http://pages.ebay.co.uk/promos/2016/3286.html

nothing here, yet.....

Logged in ebay and was there now :smiley:

Weird says first 5 listings at the t&c:
http://pages.ebay.co.uk/promos/2016/103492.html
Create up to 5 listing(s) on eBay.co.uk in an eligible category, starting during the promotion period, using the auction-style or fixed price format, and pay a maximum of £1 on its final value fees if the item sells. The promotion is valid for the first 5 listings which go live during the promotion period.

Before your listing starts, you need to have actively opted in to the promotion via the RSVP link shown in the marketing communication.

You won’t pay an insertion fee for these 5 listings.

Mine says up to 100 listings. Thanks op!

Yep, on my ebay too

​Says upto 100 listings on mine.

Damn just sold a few today :disappointed:



Thanks OP :smiley:

Thanx. about time. have 2tb ssd to sell.. :smile:

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

Got it. Thanks.

Got it! Nothing to sell though...

TY op
Perfect timing,
Just about to list a new Samsung tab A6 10.1" 4g - so I reckon that'll save me about £20 at least!

Awesome. Just ended my 15 items early and relisted them straight away. Thanks OP.
I've had this £1 max in November, then the half price fees in December then this again in January... eBay is almost worth using again these days :smiley:

Thanks op. Wouldn't have known if it wasn't for your post.

Showing on my account - Thanks Chanchi :innocent:

Showing on mine! Thanks.

Cheers Chanchster!

Time to relist all that stuff that the buyers on ebay didn't pay for!

Been waiting for this, hot!!
Does anybody know if the auction has to end within this time limit or just be listed?

Fantastic :smiley:

Nnnnnnnice thank you chanchi, heat added :smiley:

on all my accounts. :smiley:

Time to do some fake listings to reserve for future use.

dam it, literally just put something on yesterday.
Can i take my items down and put them back up for this offer?

Yes, just end the listing and relist.

I tried it says this is an invitation only offer. :disappointed:

Thanks!

Just checked and it was there, no email yet.
Been waiting for this :smile:

yep worked! thanks

Or do buy it now listings, they last for up to 30 days on a single listing and you can often get a better price for items with them too.

Are you sure a relisting qualifies for the promotion?
After a careful read of the T&Cs, I'm not so sure:


Do ebay differentiate between an automatic relisting (one created without any interaction from the user), and a relisting initiated by the user through the automation wizard?

I manually recreated my listing just to be on the safe side, and so it has no connection to the previous listing.

Relisting, with the promotion, is fine.

Try it and check if you've used the offer.
Will tell you how many times it's been applied.

Thank you. Perfect timing.

Yes it matters whether it's automatic or not. If you click on Relist an item, it counts as a manual relist. At the bottom of your Selling page you will see all the offers on your account and all the listing ids on which each offer has been applied.

Thanks I was waiting for this

​i think youd get a much better price doing a 7 day auction that finishes next sunday than a 10 day that finishes mid week. Or if its a buy it now youve got 30 days

Got it thanks

Thank you op :smiley:

Thanks OP

​only used around 5hrs. Can send SMART Info. ebay listed for £400 but negotiable. BTW mx300 2tb.

Just received the email.

Anyone understand the "detailed seller ratings" part of the T&Cs?

Dont you have to leave it up for a minimum of 24 hours before you end and relist?

Cheers OP link worked for me! Gunna save me at least £50-100

try check account page/emails a bit later , ebay system is not very good. I always see the offer on hotuk first then hours later on my emails and account page

No.

great thanks :smile:

I sell a lot on ebay and hate it when i make like £300 then a few hours later i get these, they seem to be planned, or is it bad luck?

Thanks offer accepted

eBay do not email the offers every time/everyone so you can go to

My eBay - summery - if offer is available then it will show at bottom of the page.

* sometimes they show charges if you select all and RELIST all , in that case you can relist item individually by clicking relist button next to the ended listing.

Delist, realist, anything over a tenner

Chanchi, u saved me a lot of money once again #TOPMAN :sunglasses:

Saved myself £400 the last time this was on!! Thanks OP

Great thanks worked for me

This is smoking hot in my opinion nice one :smile:

Cant wait to sell my nintendo switch pre order for £1k and pay £1 fee ^_^

Yay. Glad I never took the 25% now

scam bay getting desperate

I'm selling my two modded PSPs for 2k, it's nice up here on our fluffy clouds in Cuckoo Land isn't it?

eBay never ever gave me offers like these, if you click the links then you should get accepted.

Works for me. Thanks op.

Offer not available for me. :disappointed:
Could've done with it as I have my iPhone 7 I want to sell

yes!!!! been waiting for whole month for this

Thanks chichi, time to pack up and sell, sell, sell :laughing:

excellent thanks.
been waiting for an offer

I did ​and sold a laptop for £570 and eBay took a giant chunk. wish I waited now.

Thanks OP, about to sell some kids furniture, so great timing.

Perfect! Got about £500 worth to sell so this will be a very nice saving!

Where's cookie monster?

Does it affect your seller performance (or what ever eBay calls it) if you end items early then relist??

Is it that you can only list the item on 15th to 16th and does not matter when you actually sell the item, will still only be charged £1 max final value fee? Or is only items that sell on 15th and 16th that are applicate for the £1 max final value fee?

Many thanks, a great saving!

Is it possible to buy an account with this offer? I'd rather give some money to a person than eBay :smiley: (feedback does not really matter).
I have not received an invitation yet. Do you think I might receive it later?

Got the email too. If I was more.
organised I would have a bag of stuff ready to flog for when these offers come round :smiley:

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

Also would like to know the answer to this

So does that hold the fee to use it later?

If you post the items today, you will receive the offer for the listed time (i.e 30 days) on your items.

If you read ebay seller forums or do a google search about buying/selling an account, you'll find it's a very good way to get banned when they find out - not only you, but often they ban anyone using the same internet like a home router.
In other words every member of your family could have their ebay account blocked, and it has happened to some people.

I miss out on so many of these offers, is really frustrating as you tend to get so little notice with the email and not long to do them. They are often at the end of school holidays too, its when the kids go back to school that you get a chance to do these things.

​auction needs to start b4 midnight tomorrow. best is a 7 day auction starting teatime today as youll get a good finishing price. or if its a buy it now youve got 30 days

​At least you get the emails! I'm yet to get an invite to discounts from ebay in a few years of being with them. None of these links ever work for me either.

Have you sold any of the relisted items? thought of doing it myself with items listed now end and relist but was dubious if would still count under the promotion as terms says automatically relisted items are invalid.

Don't you have to pay if you end listings early and there are bids on the items? I've got two items for sale, ending tonight, but if I have to pay anyway then there's not much point cancelling to relist.

Meh, you still get hit by the Paypal fees.

Thanks for letting me know.

Oh yes, I was waiting for this moment!

ive never had a single one of these emails, its only when they get shown on here that i can get the offer

Thanks Chanchi.

Useful fee calculator to see if it's worth it - http://www.fees.ebay.co.uk/feeweb/feecalculator

For example, just looked at selling a tablet for an example price of £40 and £4 postage, no extra listing costs for stuff like gallery....final valuation fee would normally be £4.40 :confused:

i did this last time and people said i was crazy to list a broken iphone for £500 hahaha..
and one asked me why i listed an arlo figurine for £50?

never thought people have time to private message me to tell/asked me that

90th comment oh yeah

looks like a few could do with a calculator ^^

Heat added

Thanks for this! Question: I've just listed a computer buy it now with length set at 'Good til cancelled'. Will this qualify for the £1 final value fees?

Interested in hearing how you do this please? Every time I try to 'reserve' a auction I get emails from ebay saying - no duplicate listing or auction with nothing for sale!? thanx

Where in ebay can i check all my items that are listed under the £1 max value fee?

'automatice relisted' items are not items taken down and then relisted. They are the items that when they naturally end the automatically relist themselves. There is a tick box (or was) on the end of the page allowing you to add this function - it used to be free but now they charge a insertion fee for it (not tried it now that all days seem to be a free list day).

List something for 30 days in the same category that you think you will sell in for a very high price so no one will buy it. Then when you have something to sell, just amend the listing.

'Selling Manager Summery' page will show the promotion and how many listed under that promotion (bottom right).

If you mean actuall items - show active listing, and order by start day.

as long as its listed today/tomorrow and opted into the offer you can run the auction for the time you want e.g. 7 days and pay £1 final fees

Dont you find that you have to vary your catagory/picture/price a lot so you dont get trapped by the 'not selling anything' ebay rule?/duplicate listing rule?' I tried using the word 'template' in the title to keep people clear (I have a sight ££ selling limit so high prices mean I can only list a few items). Thanx for replying!

Just missed out :-(
" Unfortunately, you can no longer sign up for this promotional offer because it has expired"

This will be my last post on this because I have to go shopping for food for the kids.

I just for example put in the title "Mens Nike Air Trainers" and set price to £100. For the description, I have "details to follow." then set the listing to 30 days. That's all I do.

I'm pretty sure it does and have even heard they can charge a fee for ending a listing early, though that may be only auction style listings with bids. Personally, I don't recommend taking the chance and never end listings early, even if I get one of these offers, which I was fortunate enough to this time.

There are ways around the issue such as increasing the price of the original listing (to make it unattractive) and then creating a similar listing (with the promotion) at the price you actually want to sell at, though you would have to edit the text slightly in the new listing to avoid it being flagged as a duplicate listing.

Heated btw, about as good as eBay offers get for high value stuff....

Just accepted in my email.. great as I need to sell my iPad Pro

Sell now on Gumtree for free, far far better and no more inflated fees.

​why don't I get emails I got one.

Your account was never included. If it was you'd have been able to take the offer anytime during the qualifying period.

Always someone posts this in a eBay thread. the old saying you get what you pay for springs to mind. Gumtree may be free but is basically just the online equivalent of a car boot sale, no (or very limited) delivery option on items, so you can only buy items nearby that you can pick up and if you don't have transportation you can't buy anything. No standard for buyer protection/guarantee so if you have any problems down the line you are out of luck, or at best entirely reliant on the seller's goodwill.

And of course the big one, far less people to see the items you sell and far less chance of getting a sale because you are only selling to people within the nearest xx miles who can pick up....

Perfect timing.... just listed a vintage garrard 301 turntable which would have cost an arm and leg in sellers fees without this. Have some heat and thanks for the heads up

Completely against eBay rules and likely to flag your account for review.

Same

-expired-

You need a calculator to work out 10%? :confused:

Don't forget to account for PayPal fees also.

That's the message you get if you were not eligible - as per OP not everyone will have the offer

Oh I see, is there any kind of requirement then?

No idea how eBay target the offers, assume if you have sold a lot in the past you may not get it.

No, this won't qualify. Needs to be a fixed length.

I got it. Loads to sell.

I'm currently away and dont have my items with me to take pics or write a full description. Would I be able to list an item with title description only and then make changes in few days time when im back. Would the offer still stand if I make any changes to the original listing ?

I just signed up about two minutes ago x

Not on mine ... again sticking to fingers up to their loyal customers.

Pretty sure it would so long as you dont do anything to make the listing ineligible e.g. change quantity to more than one.

The only thing is you must have at least 1 image to list though this can just be a placeholder e.g. you could just borrow an image from another retailer like amazon, though id only do that for new items rather than used...

Yes! Waited months for this, have a lot of stuff I've been meaning to sell!

Nope, I have

"Pay only when you sell this month
No insertion fees on up to 100 listings per day. For auction or fixed price listings"

Valid for the 2 days lol.

Cheers eBay, you can stick your 10%

I'd been resisting selling from any offers since the last one of these they did! Got the email at 2am. Time to sell some tech!

not on mine either, listed 10 items on friday

Not on mine either - I just get the error message "Unfortunately, you can no longer sign up for this promotional offer because it has expired."

I had a arcade machine that I wanted list as well :disappointed:

Sold two phones for £300+ last week on eBay...now looking round the house for thins to flog - heat added though

Haven't sold anything for over five years - have something I want to sell now and not getting the offer :disappointed:

Thank you, been waiting to sell my gopro 4!

Was in my messages great thanks

Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only.

Thanks anyway, heat added.

Not on mine but fab deal! :smiley:

Who is eligible?
eBay.co.uk registered private sellers who have been invited to participate and have actively opted in to the promotion via the RSVP link shown in the marketing communication. Participation is linked to the seller’s account and is not transferable. Sellers must be registered as a resident in the UK.

Last place I would be selling an expensive item like a 2TB SSD is Ebay - it is almost an invitation to scammers that.:confused:

Thanks OP i've been waiting for this for almost two months, i thought the next promo would be 50% off or 75% off at best but £1 FVF? im gonna make good use of this :smile:

Heat added

I have both a private account and a seller account on Ebay. The private account get's bombarded with these offers and the business acount you only get 20 free listings every 2 or 3 months. Ebay must be the only business that treats it's regular customers like absolute dirt ... but they don't care as they have had in effect a monopoly for too long.

It's not worth selling on eBay. Why do they charge you final value on postage?

Yes if you sell something at £40 then be prepared to lose £10 or £11 of that on fees and P+P.

I got it too. Thanks. Adding heat OP! :sunglasses:

I'd be a little wary of doing anything outside the spirit of the promotion.

"Any attempt to manipulate the promotion will lead to automatic exclusion from participation."

I'm not saying you would get banned, but they do keep a seller history and it might invalidate you from future promos.

Relisting items should work, but if you want to be sure, then I would use sell similar instead (it gets you higher up the search rankings anyway).

Ebay fees on £40 are £4 buyer pays postage so max £5.

Cheers chompchilla. Ended and relisted, might save myself a fiver :stuck_out_tongue:

Voted tepid, ta.

I would rather see an 'immunity from fraudulent buyers' offer! In fairness I guess it's good if it affects you but I imagine it's private sellers only (couple of years back eBay made people decide if they were private or business - go private and get hammered with 10% fees and go business and be discounted but tax liable, we chose the latter).

Most recently we had a buyer who bought a phone, said it was broken then opened a return and to generate a tracking number sent me a postcard from Poland by registered post! By sheer luck it arrived after the case timed out.

Awesome, got a hundred things to sell!!... all for less than a tenner ;-)

is anyone getting any sizeable views on their listings?

ive had a iphone up for a couple of hours and only at 7 views. with the spike in insertions are the listings stuck in a validation queue perhaps?

To errr make a profit? Yes, they are too high normally, but the service doesn't get provided for free.

Would you have not won the case by showing the weight was just paper ?

Just cancel them then relist each item manually via your unsold items.

Because people were listing items for £1 with £50 postage to avoid fees. Blame them not eBay.

I've got a iPhone which is ending this evening, when I sell this will it be counted in this fab offer.

if it doesnt sell and i relist automatically with the listing options does it still count for the £1 FVF?

No.

Thanks Deb8z,

End the auction, relist.

This is what puts me off selling on e bay anymore, you also have to pay a PayPal fee as well.
Shame I don't have this offer as I may ( just may) of considered selling a few items

I'm listing about £2k worth of stuff later :smile:

Any idea why I never qualify for any of these promos? Use eBay quite a bit..

right so if i list something, does the item need to end by 11.59pm on the 16th Jan?
does the payment also need to have been made by the buyer by that time or....?

i have a few items i could do with listing

Finally can chuck in my 750gb SSD in there and actually get something out of it, without getting done over with fees. <3

just needs to be listed today/tomorrow, the actual auction can be for the time period that you want e.g. 7 days and you will pay the £1 final value fee.

I've been enjoying Facebook selling quite a lot, it's more hit and miss and everyone wants a bargain but it's very easy and it's a pleasant sociable experience, and without the torture of filling in an eBay listing

Had an offer on an item today. Cancelled the auction, re listed it, had offer resubmitted, accepted. £29 saved on ebay fees. Winner.

thanks huge help

i do like it same with gumtree as get cash so easier & no fees BUT as you say everyone wants a bargain.
i've listed stuff and had people offer me like 35-40% of the advertised price. it's a bit ridiculous

:laughing:
if something doesn't sell do we still keep the offer if we relist then? i can't be bothered to look through the T&Cs :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes you're quite right but I think that's because there's a smaller population, the people that offer the small amounts, don't really want the item, is a bit like fishing, someone at the right time needs to see your item. Also it works both ways you can get things really cheaply. if you are selling something second hand,, who really needs the extra £15-£25, for your TV or whatever, your children won't starve. And how much time does it take of yours to do an eBay listing I'm talking about all the work, listing, monitoring, answering questions, boxing up, ranging pickup or standing in line at parcel offices or drop off points and then there's the risk you're going to get screwed over by the buyer. For me gumtree is no good because you don't want strangers knocking on your door, at least with Facebook there some semblance of knowing who the person is, not guaranteed of course.

Expired for me unfortunately :-(

Cool, now I can reduce my fixed price auctions by 9% heat!

I'll start selling when eBay give me a quid bonus for everything I sell.

No scrap that, make it a £10 bonus.

Unless someone here works for ebay? Why would they?

Do you think this will apply to items I can list as "good until cancelled " which is over 30 days option.

So how do ebay make money?

No, because eBay just see a tracking number and that its been delivered. They wouldn't demand a receipt from the buyer. As I said, luckily it arrived late so we won the case on a timeout default and we didn't need to engage eBay's unhelpful offshore call centre.

Are you a business seller or a high value private seller? As that's probably why. If you already do high volumes or value then they don't need to incentivise you.

You would have got your money back in the end but agree very unhelpful call centre just like paypal and would have been a right pain.

it was offered to my dad and he has only ever sold on eBay recently. He had his first two listings within the last month (one had already sold)

We sell a lot and last time I had this **** pulled I wrote to eBay's head office by recorded post very politely informing them of the entire thing and that they had 7 days to refund us or we would proceed with legal action. It was immensely stressful and worsened by the fact that the POS who did it left negative feedback and actually appeared to believe his cover story (he said we shipped him a house brick, we sent courier security in and everything, even showed that a house brick weighed 1.6kg vs 2 iPhones with boxes weighing 900g but they didn't care til the letter landed). You want to have faith in humanity and treat everyone as equals then this happens.

Does anyone know if this offer is for individual accounts only or for business accounts too?

Hot

Will defo use

Question: If i list an item for auction and it ends it 3 days (after the promotion) does that mean I miss out of the £1 fee thing?

Thanks

brilliant cheers OP. had just listed £400 worth of stuff. Ended them and re-listed using the offer. saved me £££s

i done it before but i go with list similar not relist just in case.
you can also check if item was listed under promo

​You can list anything up until tomorrow night and you'll pay £1 no matter when the auction ends.

I ended and relisted two items, but they are not showing under the promotion count. One sold already and my ebay fees is a full 10%. Better to create a new listing instead of simply relisting an ended listing.

Tells me by invitation only. Can someone invite please?

That someone would need to be eBay :smile:

The issue was something else. Only single item listings qualify for the promotion.

Thanks op, just listed a few items

Thanks for this, but do you know if quantity matters?

I mean if you have a listing for something with 10 units available (but no different listings within the same page), would this promotion work for that item, or do you have to list the same item 10 times under different list?

me too :-(

Will that be the case for everything? How do you know if it's counted or not

Ignore seen your update

Taken from the T&C: "Only single quantity listings are eligible". If you have 10 items available in a single listing, you'll have to list them separately. After listing, check in your selling page, towards the bottom of the page you'll see the count of listings under this offer to make sure.

Quick question and apologies if this has already been asked but..can i list items now to whilst this offer is active and update the listings afterwards with proper pictures? Im not nearby to take pictures of the items just yet.

​Lol why not set for 30 days :man:

'Only sellers whose accounts meet eBay’s minimum seller performance standards are eligible. Please sign in to My eBay and view your Seller Dashboard to verify whether your account is currently meeting the standards. The Seller dashboard is available to all sellers. The detailed rating section is available to sellers who've received 5 or more detailed seller ratings (DSRs). Find out more about eBay’s seller performance standards'.

If everything sells I'll save over £400 :laughing:

last time i registered for this i didn't get it. just normal final fees.
I have above standard performance and 100% seller rating.
ebay is very over complicated and dodgy at times.

I'm getting this error message:
"Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only. "

Can anyone confirm if it works with Business Accounts or just private seller accounts?

I have a eBay Business Account and my current seller rating is: eBay Top-rated Seller

Private seller only, there not much benefit in being a business seller these days

Probably the best ever deal I've seen on HUKD, inasmuch it will actually make me money without having to spend money. I've already listed a couple of high value items today and I will get a couple more on tomorrow.

Thanks OP.

"Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only.", and I'm a private seller.

Account specific, cold.

I'd also like to know this.
Anyone?

Good deal, got an Samsung s7 that I've had no luck on gumtree with so I've listed it up.

Rubbish!
I have both private (just signed up to this offer) and business. 
On business I regularly get this offer, 'up to 50,000 listings NO listing fee!'
No benefit, eh? :stuck_out_tongue:

Mind you, I have never managed to list 50,000 items ever, or anywhere remotely near it!

I did tell people to be patient when the other 2 deals were posted this month :smiley:. Ebay always do this. Try to get you to sell with 25% off then P you off with a £1 offer (until you learn :wink:)

Time to sell my psvr :disappointed:

I just tried to get this deal but came up that it's invites only

Says its timed out for me :disappointed:

Has it expired?

No, has to be auction or fixed price up to 30 days

Thank you

They have you, like me already in their grip so don't look after us.

ANOTHER QUERY so thanks in advance, guys!

I qualify for the offer, and have 14 pairs of new trainers to sell, in 3 sizes, all the same 'model'.
Is there a foolproof way to list these within the terms of the offer, since 'duplicate' listings are excluded?

It had occurred to me that I could list each one separately by including a different additional item with each one.
ie 'Adidas trainers size 10 - plus Transformers DVD'
Would this work, or would there be a better option for me?

Thanks so much for your help, January's a tight month!!

Either eBay are spying on the HUKD comments or you are related to Mystic Meg

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/10-ebay-voucher-start-selling-before-22-january-2017-2601392

yeah I've got a similar problem, got 3 identical HDDs to sell but looking at the rules of this promo(single quantity listings), and ebay rules in general(no duplicate listings for identical items), seems to be no way to fulfill the condition of this £1 fvf promo?

anybody managed to sell multiple identical items during these £1 fvf promos?

I need to seperate my items into 4 posts...i think its the only way

Where does it say that? I listed a few and they counted on the active offer section as used.

I listed a couple items at the very last minute last night at 11:58pm for a 7 day auction. However, I don't want my listings to end at this time since most people probably won't get a chance to bid at this time, so is there any way for me to change the ending time of the auctions now whilst still benefitting from £1 fvf?

​What about if you alter the title of the listing?

If I revise the item listing after this offer has ended does it still count as part of the offer? The original listing was made during the promo period

I saved £90 from this today :smile:

Yes it does still count as part of the promo.

I never got time to list my laptop :disappointed:
I was eligible tho, really annoying

I have a few different items listed; but a couple I have duplicates of, so hoping that 'second chance' offers on these will still qualify for the £1 final value fee!

If I change category and update listing I created under this offer will I still only be charged £1 in fees? Just found something I want to list now as is always the way.

Last time I found changing something in the shipping (I made a mistake) I was charged full price.

So likely any edits after the offer has ended will result in being charged full fees if it sells then?

I believe so from my experience. I would recommend reading the T&C on promo fees if you find it.
