Thanks Mate :smile:

What a time to be alive :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you for letting everybody know that you haven't used eBay for years and that you always sell stuff on forums.

Is there anything else that you would like to share that is completely irrelevant to this thread.

Potentially hot deal. Be warned though. I've used the deal last time. Buyer claimed that the item they bought was not working. Since I wasn't accepting returns they purposely broke it so they can send it back. Turns out I had to pay for return postage also. Not just that but when I tried to call eBay they've informed me that even though the item was sold here the other user was registered on eBay US.

Long story short. £25 worth of international phone calls and £30 to couriers just to have what I had in the first place but damaged.

Not sure if will be using eBay again.

This link was working again for me this Sunday to Monday btw

Tell me about it. About 10 years ago I bought a dual freeview PCI card for £120. Guess what? I never got around to sorting out an aerial to use it. It's probably worth a couple of quid now :disappointed:

And a much smaller universe of people who will typically be just looking for local listings. I can't see that you have won in this situation...

This offer is back on tomorrow so just relist then!

I found the Web Chat option the other day (and it is difficult to get the button to go live!) but they refused absolutely to agree to reduce the fee to what it had been before the buyer pulled out. All they suggested was to relist, contact them again, and take a chance on whether they'd refund the extra charge or not. Pushing them further, all they could come up with was this:

"As there are no Final Value fee charges yet, we can't confirm if we will be able to adjust the fees for you."

And the result? I've ditched eBay and switched to its Gumtree subsidiary. Free - and a whole heap safer for sellers than eBay is now! :sunglasses:

Nope, there is Web Chat option but it's well hidden in Contact section.

Ebay chat?you mean on the phone?

Thanks for the info, it could mean an extra £20 in my pocket.

Happened to me once, I talked to eBay on Chat, explained what happened and they agreed to list the item again with £1 fee.

Unfortunately not.

Had to file an unpaid buyer dispute. Will I get the same deal when I relist? It will be outside of the offer window.

Now this is an odd one, I followed this link and signed up. Normally it will say "invite only" if not accepted but for some reason i've sold a phone and been charged full price?

does anyone know if I end the listing, will I get charged. It's already had a bid on it. will I only be charged the 1 pound fee

I have spent the majority of this bank holiday weekend planning and listing items on eBay right up until 2359 tonight. Could have kept going!

Including an iPhone 6 Plus 128GB, Sennheiser Momentum Over Ear Headphones, iPod touch 4th Gen, Samsung digital Camera, Grado SR80 headphones, an electric Guitar & Amp, logitech G19 keyboard, Logitech Dinovo Edge keyboard, some Graphics cards (GTX 560ti...), sound cards (Asus Xonar DX), Nintendo DSI XL Console, and loads of video games (many modern ones so around ~£15-25 per game). I'm looking to make around £1000. PayPal fees & Delivery charges will still sting but I'll pay £24 in eBay fees max, instead of £100-200.

ON THE OTHER HAND... if I sold all that stuff when I should have instead of hoarding it for ages, I'd have made double. Even with eBays "cut". It's all depreciated junk now.

I always buy high end gadgets with the intention of using eBay to soften the blow. Then I find getting around to actually doing it never happens. Anyone else feel the same? I think you need to set aside a good week where you'll be going through the process; getting your stuff together, finding lost cables, taking images, writing descriptions, researching the market values, researching postage costs, copying other successful auctions, answering buyers questions, dealing with scammers procuring bubble wrap, popping bubble wrap, posting the items out... it takes me ages.

After the past few days I'm gonna try and stay on top of it from now on. I will probably fail.

Yes PayPal no longer cover INR for collected items:

purchases of items which you collect in person, or arrange to be collected on your behalf (including at a retail point of sale) and which you claim to be Not Received

https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full?locale.x=en_GB

23:59:59

No, you should only accept cash for collection items. If they pay via Paypal then refund them and relist the item if they won't pay cash on collection.

Has eBay (or PayPal) done anything yet to stop the scam under which a buyer collects an untransportable 'collection only' item and then reverses the PayPal payment? No protection for the seller there at all.

yes

What time does this finish tonight?

Hi,

Would the £1 final listing fee still apply if I accept a best offer instead?

Thanks,
Kane

Yes you can - I do it all the time - change the listing, title, description, photos etc. on 30-day BINs.

Guys, do I understand correctly - it is until midnight 29th?

Really? Used to be able to change first photo if there were no bidders.

I was going to create some dummy listings añd then if I could be bothered find some stuff to sell.

You have to add a photo when you list and you can't then change the first photo. So make sure it's not a shot of the wall or something similar.

I presume if I have some stuff to sell but not ready to list, I could create a blankish listing with 30 day fixed price and then amend it next week?

I remember in the old days using the HTML editor, adding a hidden div element and putting keywords like PS3, laptop, nokia etc so I could spam the search results when someone ticked 'search description'.

Another old trick was using Javascript to improve my feedback rating, add a powerseller icon etc... wonder if it would still work?

Does anyone know if this is valid for a business seller on eBay? As listings are still costing 0.30p?!

That's fair enough. But considering I've listed £80 items now. I'm not willing to take the chance on all that potential extra fee being charged

not listed anything this time but was no problem when the offer ran before, i got the £1 fee on all my BIN listings when they sold.

And to prove my point I tried again and it wanted to chafe 50p for BIN.

Not when I tried on multiple attempts you couldn't

you can use BIN with no extra fees.

that's correct, as long as the listing is started before the offer expires.

Thank goodness my listing hasn't sold yet . Ended and relisted. Thanks!

I've set mine of a few different starting prices and no charge for that...but reserve prices and buy it now DO attract additional fees

I've already listed 50 items time to (try) to get rid of a lot of my old guff)

I've got a single item 3 days left on a 7 day listing, currently the item is £160. I nearly cancelled but it warms me I MAY be charged. How do I know if I will get charged the £16 fee? Also, I will relist the same item, do they have a bot that scans for same items being listed? Thanks for any info.

can this offer be used for auctions with reserved price or auctions with minimum starting bid?

How annoying, got this message:

Unfortunately, this promotional offer is not available to you.


:disappointed:

Thanks. Been meaning to sell my graphics card for a while. Finally got around to listing it.

can I list for 7 days, ??? or has it got to be just until 29th.

or as long as I list 26th-29th does not matter how long its listed for??

But the impact on prices achieved of the zero feedback...........?

balls wish I'd waited a week before I sold off some clutter

I just created a brand new ebay account and it immediately let me accept the £1 offer. There you go.

I can't get this deal because I'm not a below average rated seller. Only because i had to cancel 6 out of the 100's of items I've sold in the last year. I would need 50+ more rated sales to get out of this and be eligible!

Ridiculous is there nothing I can do?

I answered my own question...

Does anyone know if when selling a Caravan Awning within the section - "Vehicle Parts & Accessories, Motorhome Parts & Accessories, Awnings", with a reserve price, that if it sold will just be a £1 charge under this offer. Currently the fees showing in myebay are:
Reserve price auction fee = £15.18
Buy it now listing fee = £0.50

This suggests its excluded from the offer, or I'd get the fee's credited back?

Another item has already sold within another section for £30, and I've only been charged £1.
---------------------
Update... ebay chat advice:

"I can see that you have listed the item with reserve price and buy it now feature.
Please know that reserve price and buy it now is termed as optional listing upgrades which are optional to use. If you use them, fee for that will be applied to your account even if the item did not sell. They are the listing fee which do not comes under any promotional offer.
You have received an offer for selling fee.
I'd suggest you to end this listing and relist it in fixed price format with best offer feature to avoid any listing fee.
Also the item will get included in the offer of £1 selling."

Be totally honest with your listings and descriptions, if it has a tiny scratch somewhere tell put it on the listing.
Try and take detailed pictures especially if it's something like a phone or an electronic device and clean the device before taking the photos, no one wants to see grubby finger prints all over it.
Set fair postage rates, personally I send most things tracked these days just saves the hassle.
I always put at the footer of my listing "PayPal Only, any questions please ask, no returns" etc. Some of this you select in check boxes but putting it in the listing you're doubling down etc.

You will get scammers if you list something like a phone, it's part and parcel. Once I sold my old iPhone and clearly put I do not offer local collection as I work away from home and I am rarely there etc. Some guy bought it and insisted on collecting it, he chose to ignore my listing. As a seller you just have to swallow it up and get on with it, re-list it and report him not that eBay do anything these days. I think you can set your listings that people with no feedback can't bid on it.

Hope some of this helps, I've got 100% feedback to date :smiley:

Never used ebay to sell anything before.

Asking for advice and guidance from hotukdeal members - on how to best go about it, avoid pitfalls (e.g scammers) and basically 'get on my feet' as a seller.

Literally using evay for the first time.

My genuine thanks to anybody willing to share wisdom on this.

Libertas.

Explain why it's irrelevant all mighty grill?

How do they decide who gets these offers...?

I've checked every one of these deals and not once have I been accepted...

No you need to end and relist.

looking to sell an expensive watch (>£1000). does this mean I will only pay £1? This is awesome if I have understood it right.
Thanks OP

Will I still only be charged £1 if I add a 'buy it now' to my listing? As someone has made me a good offer on an item I listed yesterday, but can't find any info about if this is allowed under this promotion.

I'm not seeing the offer. Just Nectar Points x8.

Probably silly question but how do I accept promotion, is it an option when listing the item on eBay or something different? Thanks

Thanks - heat added

maybe have a live chat with ebay asking why, or check the your ebay account marketing preference again, sorry not sure the right answer.

oh damn it sold somthing for £270 last week and first time I used ebay for 18 months.

i did this for while, was annoyed when I finally fig it out why I want getting a discount.

Try hitting the same button three times in a row.

Looks like I'll be using my second ebay for some high value listings then. It always seems to get picked for promotions. I rarely get them for my main ebay. Im thinking it might be down to feedback/inactivity. I have 1231 on my main and 2 on my unused backup ebay.

hate it even though eBay and PayPal split up, eBay still want people to use PayPal .

I've ran out of things to sell, I've had one too many clear-outs and i'm now living like a monk!

I don't even get the email any more

Awesome :-) thanks!

cant see the how to accept the offer any where when i click the link someone help me?!?!?

cant see the how to accept the offer any where when i click the link someone help me?!?!?

cant see the how to accept the offer any where when i click the link someone help me?!?!?

Yes.

Just list separately and change the main title slightly, always works for me.

After accepting the offer, can you just end a listing then relist it rather than creating a new one to take advantage of the offer?

Thanks, that's brill, didn't realise can do them in bulk like that.

Some had multiple items for sale (this promo excludes multi quantity sales) so had to relist those manually (so 4 or 5 versions with a couple of words changed) but saved a load of time

Is this invatation only?

was still charged £4.10 for selling a £41 phone, I opted in did everything correct, went through the T's & C's - they never get it right with me.

Time to clear out some junk!

Yes on the final fee.
You still may pay a listing fee depending on item and category

Thanks for the tip.
Last time this was on I sold my Sega multi mega console for £595 and paid just a quid.
Great deal

cant see the how to accept the offer any where when i click the link someone help me?!?!?

Worked for me too. Thanks op :smiley:

But my name is David not Max...

I just sold my old phone on there the other day, I'd have saved around £27 in fees. Heat anyway.

Very true. I'm just getting rid off few games. Will hold for one game now n buy more later.

Happens all the time. though sometimes it goes into a bidding war. Just list up for a BIN and Best Offer with a reasonable threshold. Either it sells for a good price or you don't sell and you can try later.

@ this deal. Freaking finally. Been waiting all of 2017 to be "invited" to one of these cos I have crap loads to sell.

It's still in the box though, will probably set it up this evening but looking forward to all the new games I got! Well worth it imo, 4 games I didn't have (8 if you want to include the Gears of War 360 games you get with Gears 4), a nice new XB1 with 4K output and a warranty for a few quid once I've flogged the OG Xbox.

Does this include buy it now?

Trying to sell PC parts and every man and his dog from Eastern Europe is trying to buy them even though I've specified UK only. Either that of low feedback/new accounts. Just full of scammers!

What a time to be alive :stuck_out_tongue:

I'll be getting my old Xbox One on eBay this weekend then! My new one arrived 4 hours ago or so :sunglasses:

start 26/05/17 00:53:57 BST and end 29/05/17 23:59:59 BST, must list with this time frame to get this offer,

but you could choice when it ends, do it just like normal listing eg 7 days bidding etc or buy it now 30days (if you may check the term and condition, it also states no mutli items etc).

also you could check see it on the promotion offer column at "My ebay All selling activity page", located nearly at the bottom

sorry to hear that , you are right not worth it unless it is very costly fee, cheers

Timing was perfect - just about to list some stuff.

Sadly they all waited to the last bloody second hence the price I got was a lot less than going locally - and the prat who bought it didn't give any feedback !

time for a much needed clearout! Saved £49 last time on this!

I sold my brand new s7 edge on there last week. Gutted.

I considered that but someone has placed a bid already. I don't really want to mess someone else around. At least I know for the next item. :smile:

Just end the item early and relist it.

I currently already have something listed, will this deal cover this? Can i just relist it or should i take it down and re-post it fresh?

Thank you.
Time to cancel and relist all my items.

I'm quite enjoying eBay these days, I haven't paid more than £1 fees on any item since November 2016 and that includes a couple of 700 quid lenses.

Added to the free Royal Mail barcode proof of postage (which I've already used when some scumbag tried to claim her item didn't arrive), things are looking up for eBay sellers.

put xenoblade 3ds on there sealed if anyone wants it £27.50 delivered

super.....thanks

again :P excellent! thank you

been waiting for this. Thanks :smiley:

Cheers OP. I never check to see if it's on or not so thanks for reminder. Just ended and relisted 42 items :smile:

Good timing. Thanks.

It is a pity that I just sold about 10 items the past two weeks.

If the deal was available, could had saved a fortune.

cheers..hv 2x galaxy S8 & 1x HTC 10 to sell.

Yes they can

Shhh everybody will want one

Can someone confirm if the dates May 26 - 29 are start and end dates, or you must list between these dates and can end in 7 or 10 days etc?

Time to start shifting my old Club Nintendo statues, my Wii U collector boxes (wind wakes statue and mk8 shell).

Gotta make room for The last of us 2 statue when it drops.

Already done, but hot for sharing.

TIME TO SELL EVERY PIECE OF CRAP KLAXXON

feel your pain :disappointed:

****, I just sold my mobile phone for £300 the other day and ebay took £30 :@

When is the last time they did a promotion for serious sellers do not remember ever seeing one.

Guess this means I am not going to flog much till the 30th then,ahh well good weather for a booze up.

"Unfortunately, this promotional offer is not available to you."

It's not showing up for me either!

not showing up for me

Sold 2200 worth of stuff a week ago.

hot hot hot love this deal.Knew it would appear this weekend :sunglasses:

nice! ta :smiley:

to make sure you have the £1 offer, list it within the time frame and terms for such item (and your free listing limits) then if you like, double check your offer column, click on the blue used figure would show you the ebay listing ID.

do you want to sell it with courier or just collect?

if sell with courier and your item are qualify for £1 and free listing, then you would received paypal money in (£730 minus paypal fee), ebay would charge you £1 as final value fee with your monthly invoice.

note: always double check after sales on the ebay seller account (account activity) page, so you could see how much ebay charge you for such item right away)

I'm changing my name to Max

if you list within the time frame and the terms (also check your free listing limit) then every list should be qualify for this offer.

To be sure, you could double check your listing id on the offer column, click the used figure (in blue) thus would show all the qualify listing item no.

you could cancel and then make a new one (if you like) to qualify for this offer (within the free listing offer)

Yesssssss!

try to check on the promotion offer column,it would show in figure how many listing you have submitted, when you click on that, it would show all the listings qualify for this £1 offer.

If you could not find your recent listing qualify with this £1 offer, you could just cancel them and make a new one (if you have the free listing include) within the qualify time frame.

Damn. Just sold a whole heap of stuff (£250+) on eBay over the last month or so!

Ah well, still better than having it sitting around the house gathering dust.

Wow have over 1k worth on right now. Perfect timing thanks op!!!!!!!!!

thanks for this

Just listed loads of stuff. Thanks.

Should this come up in your "Promotional offers" in your selling dashboard if you are eligible? Thanks

cant beat the £1500 in bank feeling when you get an invoice for £23 :smile: will never list at full price again.. totally pointless,, these offers seem to be every few weeks now.. they are clearly desperate with facebook selling pages and the like

about time. I have been waiting to list 100 items!!

Lovely!
That'll do pig :smiley:

Sold an item with a £3 max fee for £1070 last week, so see what I can get this week!

I sold something for £24 - and got a bill for £4

YES! Thank you. Exactly what I've been waiting for.

a good deal but they still get you on paypal fees

Fantastic!

Perfect, guitars and amps clearout weekend!

Thanks

Excellent, thanks OP.

Relisted a few items, eBay's 10% commission is a con, no wonder people are using other methods

Likewise.
Sold 10 Bose Soundlinks and paid £180 when I expected to pay £18

It will only apply to new listings so end your items and relist them.

Once accepted, does the promotion rate only apply to listings made afterwards or will it apply to active listings put up prior?

Cheers for that.

Been waiting for this... it's always the bank holiday weekends it seems.

Thanks, my email just came now.

Yes, one pound fish option for me this time.

Nice one OP! :sunglasses:

The ONLY time i sell on ebay...cheers OP

been waiting for this one - thanks op

Damnit, just sold a bunch of stuff on ebay this week.

My God! I actually received an email from them regarding this offer.

What a nightmare that must have been. I still sell on eBay occasionally but there are too many lowlife scammers and eBay does too little to protect sellers.

I did. The parcel went the whole 150 miles from my house. And as I said think this is a potentially a good deal as long as you're prepared that this may happen to you. Unlikely perhaps but possible and I'd want to know the upsides and the downsides was I to use a service for the first time or after a while.

I voted hot by the way.

I would recommend that you only sell to people who reside in the UK.

Okay item I want to list would be priced at a fixed £700 buy it now and say £30 courier charge. just to confirm no listing fee and just £1.00 fee ? buyer pays via paypal what would they off me for I the pleasure off receiving my £730 ?

Thank you for letting everybody know that you haven't used eBay for years and that you always sell stuff on forums.

Is there anything else that you would like to share that is completely irrelevant to this thread.

Potentially hot deal. Be warned though. I've used the deal last time. Buyer claimed that the item they bought was not working. Since I wasn't accepting returns they purposely broke it so they can send it back. Turns out I had to pay for return postage also. Not just that but when I tried to call eBay they've informed me that even though the item was sold here the other user was registered on eBay US.

Long story short. £25 worth of international phone calls and £30 to couriers just to have what I had in the first place but damaged.

Not sure if will be using eBay again.

Thank you

Thats right - just £1.

Just to confirm (to be sure).

This means. If i sold an item whether it being £10, £100, or £500. The fee will NOT be 10% or whatever it was during this period, but instead just £1...?

Have so much stuff I was waiting to list, but was waiting for a deal... Lol. Thanks OP.

Voted hot :smiley:

Says it is not available in my country of residence ...... Even though in UK

Excellent..... <3

Thanks! :smile:

Cassey1's link worked for me!! Thank you

Just listed something yesterday. Doh! Got a few other items to go though so this will come in handy. Cheers OP.

Like all of the others, my items are all set up and ready to list awaiting this deal. Good find Op, thanks.

Not used ebay for years. Always sell my stuff on forums.

Didn't get a mail this time but link works. Thanks !

Thankyou,works for me :smiley:

Isn't this invitation only

Happy days, thanks OP :smile:

thanks. now to sell things I want to keep only to repurchase at a later date

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS amazing thank you :smiley:
I was waiting for this to sell my surface pro thanks

I am yet to receive the email direct but works through this link. I hope they won't charge me full fee.

Excellent, got the £3 deal last time and sold a £600 item.. this is even better thanks.

Thanks, needed this

Guys, is it still £1 if I relist previous unsold items?

Thanks

Thanks... this is a regular every 30 day deal now - as my last £1 listings just ending this weekend :smiley:. So great timing again... will list my 100 items asap :smile:

perfect cancelled a few pc component listings I'm hoping to make £2-300 on, taking fees from £20-30 down to £3

Thanks very much

Heated

has it got to be an auction or can it also be used on a fixed price buy it now

Thanks for the heads up!

thank you...I have been waiting for this since my listings on the last offer expired few days ago

awww pants!! I'd just been listing stuff all evening. Going to have to cancel and relist them all

Thanks OP, I seem to miss getting reminders from eBay themselves. Only an occasional seller but I have a couple of things that I can list just now, hadn't got round to it.

should your auction end before 30th

Thanks for that!

Start Date * End Date? why star next to end date?

Great deal. Thanks for the heads up! :wink:

Sold one item for £400 last weekend :disappointed:

sold 2 items worth £280 items in last week :disappointed: new should waited always on bank holidays.

Been waiting for this.
Just in time.
:smiley:

Remember it should be a single item and not a multi quantity listing. I learned that the hard way :disappointed:

This should get hot

Do your listings have to end before the promotion ends? Or just ben started during the promotion period?

We-hey, finally accepted for one of these!

Thanks for posting and heat added. :smiley:

Thanks was waiting for this

Thanks OP, I always get ebay offer email very late, hotuk thread is much more efficient and reliable

Just like Kelloggs Frosties, this is grrreat, thanks.

yeah this isnt bad if you want to do a bit on fleabay im hot :stuck_out_tongue:
