No, you have to sell it in the next 6 hours, 32 minutes and 20 seconds otherwise your item will destruct.

No wonder ebay is in such a bad way. The amount of thick questions on here in just one page is amazing. How can these thick people have items for sale on ebay? How do they manage to run an ebay account? It is frightening.

I wonder why mine's only just started to show up recently ? I never really reach my 20 free items limit per month. Still, ebay got to annoy me 4 years after everyone else :smile:

Funnily enough I saw someones listings the other day that were something like 1p with £14.99 postage,I didn't realise anybody did that anymore :confused:

As mentioned been that way since 2013 because a bunch of greedy sellers took advantage by selling say a £500 laptop for £0.01 with £499.99 P&P, used to happen quite a lot, still see the odd (very) occasional listing like that presumably by sellers that still think the P&P part is fee free.

IMHO the smart way to sell, and best way to ensure you get the most out of promotions like this, is to not charge anything for P&P on any of your listings. This way your listing gets the little "free postage" tag and it is another thing to attract buyers as it makes the item seem more of a bargain than other listings where a separate P&P cost is listed.

Of course, P&P isn't really free (sadly) but can easily just be built into the item cost beforehand. To avoid pricing your item out of the market it’s generally best to just include basic or economy delivery like hermes, collect plus or 2nd class mail for free and possibly offer a second paid for option for those that need it urgently e.g. special delivery, first class, UPS etc.

Wouldn’t recommend including international P&P though or it would make the item needlessly expensive for the sake of a minority of international buyers.

I just looked at one from August and on mine they are shown separately .

Weird that, because my invoices from 6 months ago don't show separate P&P charges. I was only aware of the deduction PayPal take from the whole transaction with P&P.

2013 :confused:

When did ebay start charging sellers 10% on P&P costs ? Get stung left, right & centre with fees now.

Absolutely gutted I missed this. How did I not see it.

Mine have worked,but I always check at the bottom of the page to make sure they have been deducted from the promotional 100.

Try contacting live help though as there could be a glitch,I mentioned earlier in the thread I was charged for ordinary listings on two different occasions at the end of Jan and beginning of Feb which were supposed to be free and live help said they were aware of a problem,but if I hadn't have noticed they wouldn't have :neutral_face:

They might refund the extra fees if something is amiss.

Anyone find that despite being accepted for the offer, making sure your items and account are eligible for the promotion, the FVF for sold items are still not capped at £1?

Items definitely listed during the promotional period.

It's not even in the History of my Promotional offers page. I signed up/opted in for the offer successfully and clicked through to make sure only to be told I was already signed up so must have worked. Quite annoyed.. =/

Anyone else got the same?

Ultimately I listed everything I could then made some trash buy it now listings I will then edit into real auctions over the coming days as I have more time. Cheers OP saved me about £60 in fees.

HAHA YAY! you got ONE HOUR!! List! not even an hour now! Get to da chopper!!

Weird, been randomly refreshing and it's just updated, I now have 4 active offers of which this is 1 :smiley:

I don't think you have the offer then.

Perhaps that's why,you don't sell enough :laughing:

Yeah, that's what I meant by dashboard, sorry I wasn't very clear... There's nothing there... Active (0)

Ebay T&C
"The promotion is valid for the first 100 listings only which go live during the promotion period (or were previously scheduled to go live during the promotion period) on eBay.co.uk using the auction-style, auction-style with Buy it now option, or fixed price formats, in an eligible category. Listings using the auction-style with Buy it now option will be charged only the listing upgrade fee."

I guess no, your listing needs to start during the promotion period.

It's under Promotional Offers on your Selling page.

Use a computer (not a smart phone or tablet) and on the menu on the left hand side click on "All Selling" then scroll down the page till you see your promotional offers section.......what do you see there?

I have a listing I want to schedule for tomorrow night, but I will be listing it tonight. Does that give me the promotional fees or not?

I assume so, have 100% positive feedback and nothing outstanding.

Am mostly a buyer due to the crazy fees, tend to use gumtree to sell.

So I clicked the link here and accepted the offer, clicked start selling and listed a few items... My dashboard has no offers though.
I've saved a screenshot of me accepting the offer, you think that will be enough to get any charges over £1 refunded?

received the explicit invite email saying fee's for £1 but when clicked on link said expired

I have checked and I have 3 other offers but not this one.
Anyway thanks for your help.

Have you checked on the desktop site - My eBay > Selling > All Selling and scroll down right to the bottom to Promotional offers, you will be able to activate from there if it is available on your account.

Not working:
Unfortunately, you can no longer sign up for this promotional offer because it has expired.
:-(

​why do you need to think? I thought you weren't thick. lol

Have you actually listed it though, or have you set it to list at a later time? I have set things to list this evening, so they are not being taken off the 100 total yet. I believe the terms state the listing needs to go live within the promo period, that's all.

+1000. Can't believe what I'm reading on here half the time... :man:

There's something deeply satisfying about selling all your high value gadgets on eBay when these promotions come along. It gives you that crossroads decision - do I save my money and feel smug, or just go on another Hotukdeals fuelled shopping bender and replace it all with the same stuff again (or latest iteration with next to no improvements). And feel smug. It's the circle of Hotukdeals life. Thank you eBay, you make me happy, and a bit poorer every day.

They haven't invited me to the party. :disappointed:

Three weeks and 6 days time.

Tomorrow night 11.59pm

Tomorrow night it ends...cracking deal in my book so well done Ebay.

Does this end tonight or tomorrow night???

Oh let me think.

Have you listed the same thing twice?

Lol.

i have a question for you. Is the £1 listing only for today. what if i sell my item on tuesday. does that mean i will be charged full price.

Thanks - wouldn't have checked my emails unless I'd seen this.

Cheers

As soon as you list something it deducts it from the 100 straight away so if it still says you have a 100 left then you won't pay the promotional fee.

Did you list more than one on a BIN for example as multi quantity listings don't qualify?

When I list something for sale
It still shows as:
Sell for £1 max! used-0 & Left-100
Does this only change when the item is sold?, or has the item I am selling not qualified?

When I list something for sale
Under 'Promotional offers' it still shows as:
Sell for £1 max! used-0 & Left-100
Does this only change when the item is sold?, or has the item I am selling not qualified?

excellent, 12 listings just posted, should be significant savings as all together around £2400 unwanted items lol

When I click the link to the deal from here I get the "You're not eligible for this promotion" message. However, when I go to sell from ebay I see the "Sell for £1 max!" available in promotional offers, and can opt-in to it from there.

So thanks for heads-up, or I would have missed this offer.

Neither, it includes Auction buy it in three year listings.

If only there was T&C for this offer.

Hopefully this will answer all questions asked...

The promotion is valid for the first 100 listings only which go live during the promotion period (or were previously scheduled to go live during the promotion period) on eBay.co.uk using the auction-style, auction-style with Buy it now option, or fixed price formats, in an eligible category. Listings using the auction-style with Buy it now option will be charged only the listing upgrade fee.

Does this offer include "Buy It Now" or auction style only?

Thanks for this. Had a load of stuff I've been needing to get rid of. This gave me the nudge to do it.

Amazing ,thank you got the deal ,great post ,:smile:

great deal if you have it :wink:

My point was you can get charged if auctions have bids on them :

We strongly discourage sellers to end listings early because it undermines the trust buyers have in the eBay platform. eBay buyers are told that their bids are binding. Equally, buyers expect the auctions they bid on to conclude successfully.

If you end an auction early and buyers have already placed bids, you may be charged a fee. This fee is the same as a final value fee, based on the item price when you ended the auction.

You won't pay a fee if you cancel your auction within the first 24 hours of listing your item, or if we have to end your auction.

Another promo they overlook me for ...

On the desktop version go to My eBay > Selling > All Selling and scroll down right to the bottom to Promotional offers, you will be able to activate from there if it is available on your account.

Nothing in inbox, so how can I get an invite?

Once again, I didn't get an invite for this despite being signed up to the offers.

Is there just very few people getting this?

Told me it was invite only and that I wasn't invited.

You can still end items that have bids on them.

Sorry but superpanda has a point.
The same questions over and over again? Actually reading the thread may be a good idea.

Don't hold back,tell us what you really think :laughing:

As long as you don't have any bids on anything if they are auction listings,then yes.

Yes as long as you have accepted the offer :smiley:

No wonder ebay is in such a bad way. The amount of thick questions on here in just one page is amazing. How can these thick people have items for sale on ebay? How do they manage to run an ebay account? It is frightening.

I've already got stuff for sale, could I cancel them and re-list them to get this?

I never knew that, have sold a few bits through the GSP the cheeky b*******!

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

Thank you Angela.

Thanks for the heads up

Unless someone buys from abroad through GSP - fees can be up to 4.9% - list here:

https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/cross-border-and-conversion-fees#currencyconversion

PayPal fees are 3.4% plus 20p so £24.68 for £720.

3.4% plus 20p per transaction. £720 = £24.68 PayPal fee.

Thanks for the heads up! Got it in my account today.

Got an item here that I am looking to list at a buy it now off £700, £1 selling fee .. any idea on paypal fees on this £700 and say £20 postage ie. £720 total ?

Was looking to get rid of my old S7 but wasn't prepared to fork out the £30-£40 fees at the end.

Thanks for the heads up.

Yes even if you list buy it now and it ends in 30 days it will still only cost £1 for the final fee.

No, you have to sell it in the next 6 hours, 32 minutes and 20 seconds otherwise your item will destruct.

On the desktop version go to My eBay > Selling > All Selling and scroll down right to the bottom to Promotional offers, you will be able to activate from there if it is available on your account.

Ok what if I list it today and it sells next Thursday does that make my final fee £1

Is your account in good standing ?

No you can't do that.

Restrictions & exclusions:



Any item listed during the promotional period but scheduled to start after the promotional period.

Does anyone know if you can list the item in this time period, but schedule it to start in a few days time? Does that still work? Or does it have to be 'active' in the 2 day period?

Yes many times.

For some reason I have not been valid for a single one of these offers that has been on HUKD over the last 6 months or so.

I wonder what it is they have against me! lol

At the end of January I was charged for listings that were supposed to be free from the 20 you get each month,I had to contact live help to get them refunded,they said the site Developers were aware of the problem.

Hmmm I bet I wouldn't have been automatically refunded though if I hadn't have noticed.

done it few times.
i usually relist by selecting 'sell similar' than relist.


tip: after you relist 1-2 items, check in your offers it will say that you used 1-2 and have 99-98 listings left

Have you turned on buyer manage,ent options like restricting to onky places you sell to , must have a linked PayPal account etc ? You cannot block 0 feedback people automatically but these options have reduced my non payers to very little - 1 in the last 18 months out of 1500 ish listings. PayPal one filters a lot as e time wasters don't like to give out info or cannot figure out setting it up lol

I know it's been mentioned about cancelling items and relisting them but has anyone actually done this and has this still worked? So if I cancelled items this morning and then relisted them just after that would work for the £1 promotion which I've signed up for?

Where would it be on your account to look.?

You're eligible twice?

Doesnt matter. I havent sold anything on ebay for ages despite i have more than 30 items on it for sale all the time...

expired....

I'm a private seller, when I click the deal link it says I can no longer accept the promotion as it has expired :S

These constant private seller offers are great but I know a lot of legit small business sellers on Ebay are pretty annoyed that these keep cropping up for private sellers ... basically Ebay are giving you an open invitation to use your personal account over your business account to sell high-priced items.

'Keep in mind :
To use this offer, you need to meet the minimum performance standards for sellers. See your seller dashboard for more info.
Selling limits apply'.

For once I'm eligible thanks :smiley:

For once I'm eligible thanks :smiley:

Deary me.

How do you get invite can someone tell me please? Thanks

This is what I get when I click the link:

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

The offer doesn't show until it starts.

Not your fault at all - I really appreciate your effort. I've complained to them twice now (first time was around 2-3 weeks ago) they said that it's a completely randomised selection process (right.) As you can imagine, they copy and paste a load of blurb at you and tell you that they're sure you'll be selected soon.

Yawn.

It's very unfair that some users are not included, my account that I buy & sell all the time had the offer early on, then my partners account which hardly ever gets used got the offer a bit later on today.

Wahoo! I've got a whole pile of stuff to flog after Christmas :smile:

Saw an offer like this in November, I wasn't eligible and hadn't sold anything in over a year. Sold 15 things since December. I am eligible for this one.

Maybe you need to sell a few times before they even consider you? Or, not sell too much?

Sorry :disappointed: I would contact eBay & complain so they start including you in future promotions

Thanks for the suggestion - each box was already ticked.

Yup, tried before midnight and now after midnight and I'm still getting the same message:
Unfortunately, you can no longer sign up for this promotional offer because it has expired.

Have you opted out of receiving promotions?
From the "My Ebay" page > "Account" tab next to activity & messages > From the list on the left click "Communication preferences" > Scroll right down to the bottom and there you will find "Promotions and surveys"
Click show

did you follow the deal link???

Thanks, just visited and did what you mentioned. Only three promotions I have are the following:
Pay only when you sell this month
20 free listings per month
Schedule 20 listings per month for free

Really don't get why I'm not qualifying any of these, there's been loads now.

The deal is now live, to double check if you have the offer on the desktop version go to My eBay > Selling > All Selling and scroll down right to the bottom to Promotional offers, you will be able to activate from there if it is available on your account.

Showing on my account now but still no email.

Thanks again OP.

Getting sick of eBay now, spend an absolute fortune with them and I've seen 4/5 of these promotions pop up now and not been accepted for a single one, yet some people have 7 accounts and they get accepted on all of them?!

THANK YOU!!! Clicked and got the deal YAY!! I've got a few things ready to go with photos and descriptions already done, was just waiting for this deal to come round again :innocent:

Thanks for the heads up - would have missed it otherwise!

yes yes yes I was selling something on ebay that didnt sell due to fees piercing through my returns so this is perfect I can definately sell it for a little niffty profit. eBay should reduce its fees I will definately sell a lot more. now time to find more items to sell.

Brilliant. Thanks OP. :smile:

90p. You get charged the standard 10% of the final value if it is less then £10 including postage. Everything above, no matter how high, is just £1. So, £1 max.

Not zero feedback though, only -1 or lower. Pointless now because Buyers can't get negative feedback unless they sell too.

probably a stupid question but if item sells for say £9 the fee is £1 or 90p?

Natural selection..

Thanks for the heads up

Cheers op, was waiting for this as I need to sell my old MacBook and the usual 10% fees are shocking.

Pretty sure you can block bidders with low feedback.

red hot deal, wasn't in my account but activated fine....

my thoughts exactly lol

Nope, total crap for me again - and I haven't sold on eBay for ages - I've just got the rubbish "only pay when you sell" free 100 listings per day.

Rubbish.

i do the same thing, 48 hours is not that long to sort out the listings.

Defo not expired... just signed up to check on my Hubby's account which we don't really use to sell anymore.

Says expired for me :disappointed:. Usually get them too. Oh well next time...

great timing was planning a big clear out....

i get so many 0-5 feedback timewasters who bid and win then nothing.... i think from now on im just going to cancel the bid straight away.. its really annoying

Thanks Op, have not had email yet but accepted via the link.

You can change the category when you decide what to list.

Edit: oops, now see this is already discussed

Thank you

Thanks!

Thank you very much. Was going to list something for 200 quid

Sweet deal, cheers Op!

No just list within the promotional period - can sell up to 30 days later and you will be charged max £1.

You have to list within the two days. Auction/BIN can run for upto 30 days.

Slightly confused, does the item have to sell during this promotional period or can I still let my listing run up to 30 days to qualify?

I do it all the time... you always get the £1 fee even if you up the price or change the category :smiley:

It allowed me to change category last week on a fake listing but I wasn't sure it still qualified for the £1 final fee so didn't want to risk it.

No you can change category & everything about the listing including price... just make any listing & alter it later. Or copy an old listing & put it up for a price no one would buy :wink:

12/02/17 12.00am - 12/02/17 -11.59pm = 1 day, 13/02/17 12.00am - 13/02/17 11.59pm = 1 day, making it 2 days :smiley:

finally. Been waiting for this. Have some heat my friend

OK, got it, should say 00:00 on 12th to start

nice one, cheers OP!

I have the offer in all 7 of my ebay accounts.

There should be a message in your ebay account titled "Only pay £1 when you sell"

If you've not received this message, you probably don't qualify.

Thanks Angela but midnight on 12th to midnight on 13th is still one day, not 2!

I have the same issue, frustrating as I'm currently selling something for around £200

Yeah, I know. I have to decide which category I'm likely to sell in in the future and list after midnight (30 day listing)

It doesn't start until tomorrow lol

12/2/2017 12:00:00am until 13/02/017 11:59:59 pm GMT :smiley:

Does anyone understand eBay's language? Do they mean 12th Feb AND 13th Feb? It says '12th to 13th, which seems to mean ONLY 12th Feb.

I tried it, it goes to a page with the offer but when I click through it goes to a expired page :disappointed: it's about right I haven't listed anything for 12 months and this weekend I have 3 things to list.

Naughty!! :laughing:

Time to do more fake listings to reserve for later use. :smiley:

Does this link work for you http://pages.ebay.co.uk/promos/2016/3286.html

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

Scroll all the way down of your all selling tab.

ebay ​web site page, go to selling and scroll down to the very bottom you'll see active and non active promotions :smiley:

once the deal is active and I subscribed to it, where on my selling page I can see that the offer is active for my items? I have used this offer many times before but never managed to find the answer to this question

ye, ebay auctions aren't the best way to utilise these promotion as buyers cancel and you pull your hair out lul. best for buy it now prices.

after three lying bid winners i dont bother selling on the bay anymore, unless your item sells over twenty pounds and you sell via recorded/signed then you run the risk of twits using Paypals 'buyer ALWAYS wins' policy

Nice! Thanks for the early heads up... my offers usually appear on a Sunday for some reason... annoying but I don't like to subscribe to ebay emails for early notifications as I just get spammed with rubbish.

****, just sold 200 quid of stufg

Won't show as an active offer until midnight tonight, when it starts :smiley:

Try from this link http://pages.ebay.co.uk/promos/2016/3286.html

You don't get any benefit if the promotion is not on your selling page. So, whoever clicked and it said you have been accepted, don't get excited :smiley:

You don't have the offer :smiley:

Is this free listings too? E.g selling car

I get the same error :disappointed:

Snap!! :laughing:

Same here but had this before and it it updates after midnight tonight .

Won't show as an active offer until midnight tonight :smiley:

Not sure if this has worked. Clicked the link, said I'd accepted it, but isn't showing in my promotional offers at the bottom.

You can.

Thanks OP, runs round house looking for stuff I wanted to sell.

:laughing: Exatly what I thought.

Invite only.

Cancel... Relist. No problems.

Wow

can you cancel a current item then relist it? or is there some in tand cs

Has this expired or is it just saying that on some accounts?

When I login it says - Unfortunately, you can no longer sign up for this promotional offer because it has expired.

Thanks it works

The only downside is it lasts only 24 hours by the time I list it & get views to offer is over
Needs to be for 3 days the least

Thanks for that. Just about to list some alloy wheels for 500 quid, so quite a saving if I wait until tomorrow.

Thanks OP. Had two circa £100 items where the buyers changed their minds so I need to relist. I would have waited until the next one of these came along anyway, but I wasn't expecting it so soon.

thank you!

Great stuff. Thanks

Good point! *After midnight :smiley:

Time to cancel my listings already running on a max £1 deal and relist for an extra 30 days! Thanks OP.

Checked my account... Nothing.
Clicked the link... Activated.

Cheers OP!

Works for me. Heat!

PayPal fee still applies ? or is that me being greedy :wink:

Thanks for the heads up!

£1 max final value fee on up to 100 listings and no insertion fee. Learn More

not showing in my a/c though, despite I already got it

Does it have to be sold within those dates or listed, ive never understood

Love these thanks!!

Showing as expired for me

so this destroys the theory that it goes £1 max - 50% - 25% etc

accepted, tar very much

Great..was about to list some personal items on my business account but this works out far better and its valid for me.
Thanks

Showing as expired for me

Thanks OP :smiley:

I clicked through and got

Thank you - I haven't had the email but it worked on my account (not on another family acount) so worth trying.

Just saw this and was about to post it :smile:

Nice thanks!

Hot hot hot. Just got the invite myself. Was going to post but beaten to it :stuck_out_tongue:

I love you, Ebay - will you marry me, my beloved Valentine? :smiley:

worked!!

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

nice :smiley:

Yep, worked. Thanks!!

Thanks, worked for me.

Worked for me thanks op

Not active till tomorrow? Lucky I checked as was going to list something now!
