you have to wonder why Ebay is doing this so often

I've been selling for 18y and these offers only really started 18m ago
Before then you might have got 5% fees once a year if you were lucky

they must be making massive losses when places like gumtree and facebook are free.

any1 know when the next 1 is ? x

if it's an auction you can do the second chance offer thing, contact eBay and they'll apply the £1 offer

A result with this one.
I don't normally sell much on ebay, usually buy.
But, just sold a £200 item and the buyer looks like they're paying cash-on-collection.
£1 would be a positive.
More next time. ;-)
Thanks for posting OP.

That's what I thought thanks. Just hope another comes along soon.

Unfortunately, relisting would be considered a new listing, not qualifying for the offer.

Anyone know what happens if the buyer cancels the order during this offer?
I assume have to relist losing the £1 final fee offer and pay full whack.

My eBay (top bar drop-down) > Selling. There should be a "Promotional Offers" panel on that page, assuming that you have it set up to use the Seller Hub.

I currently have:

Hi, no i can't see anything, I'm a above standard seller i use eBay regularly to buy and sell, do you have a link to the page that shows these promotions?

all i see is this, List 20 items per month for FREE
in all categories (except Motors)
using an auction or fixed price
format, then £0.35 per listing after

What offers do you now see in your My eBay pages? Anything unusual about your recent activity on the site? The free insertion fee offer is still working fine for me.

ebay are taking the **** 35p insertion fee for every listing on auctions, what happened to the 100 free listings per month?

Erm. No. Not for those eligible for this offer. Good until 23:59:59!

thanks!

Expired

You're fine. Definitely no impact!

anyone know if you revise a listing if it removes the Promo?

Thanks Op :smiley:

Thank you a item just ended will relist.

When viewing on a pc on your selling page right at the bottom under promotional offers there is a little "history" tab,if you click into it,it shows you all the previous offers you've accepted,have a look in there to see if you did indeed accept it.

on the selling page there are a summary list saying how many times you've used the £1 max selling fee offer. It will start from 100 and if you used one then it will become 99 and so on. Just make sure you check that number next time... taking screen capture of the offer doesn't mean anything at all...

Make sure you takes screen captures of the offer. The last time I took them up on their £1 offer .I sold a load of stuff and got an invoice for £68. They denied outright they had made the offer and no all messages in my Ebay message box had disapearred. :disappointed:

Figured it was 'safe' but wanted to double-check anyway. Cheers!

1 or 3 day listings not relevant here. The offer is valid for any auction or BuyItNow of any length as long as the listing starts during the offer period (and you've accepted the offer). I've listed 30day BIN items that sold weeks after the offer dates and paid £1 seller fee.

Same for me too. I can't see anything in the Ts & Cs about 1 or 3-day listings not qualifying for the offer? http://pages.ebay.co.uk/promos/2017/103681.html

Just got the one day (25th) only offer - had previously checked the 2 day offer ("expired"). At least I can end and relist a couple of BIN items that end on Tuesday. Sold over £2000 of bits on the last couple of £1 offers, so has saved me a load.

I've just been emailed the one day only offer for today as well...not seen eBay do this before. Best get selling!

12:00:00 am BST
it is now 00:47AM UK time is it okay to sell now? I am confused timezones always **** my brain up

Yes just today for me too. Listing now.....

It has appeared on my summary page but only for today - 25th June for 24 hours. Check your offer carefully!

Same here!

Worked for me no probs
Than you

HOLY MOLY I've tried using that link about ten times, always the EXPIRED error. Just did it now, same thing, checked My Summary page, it's there and working!!!

SO EVEN IF THE LINK SAYS ERROR, CHECK YOUR SUMMARY.

Link just worked for me. Many thanks OP.

If it comes up saying it's expired either go to the classic ebay site on a mobile device or a laptop and go to all selling and scroll to the bottom of that page and offer may well be there to accept it was for me

It's live now

last time it said something about having to be sold within 30days

Nothing like this in the T&C's for the offer I am seeing! Looked at every instance of the word insertion, and that wording about 1 and 3 day listings is definitely not there.

report this thread to mods as incorrectly expired

How long can the listing be for the offer? 5 days 7 days?

So how many days is best to get the best from this offer?

needs to be unexpired, I can't ask twice

shame the saddos keep expiring it as it spoils it for other people

what can't they understand about invitation only?

Thanks, it was just the one item.

But........................... I may list other things.

Also I would relist them one at a time, the multi-listing form sometimes messes them up.

Yep, I do it all the time. Saved hundreds over the past few months.

Thanks.
Are you allowed to relist and still qualify for the £1 'max final value fee'?
I was going to start again.

Nooo...just go to here http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?EndingMyAuction

Cancel your listings, then on the day you want to list go to My Summary/Selling and go to UNSOLD, then tick the ones to relist.......then click...er....Relist.

You can do your listings today and schedule them to start on the 25th-26th. Still comes up Free.

Worked for me as well

Link just worked for me. Thanks OP.

expired for me.

Lol

I listed today in error!
All that hard work needs to be repeated tomorrow!

looks like it is indeed 25-26th

You just need to list your stuff on those dates, even if they sell after you'll still get the discount.

COLD. Thought it said Pepsi Max was on offer for £1.

PayPal's fee is 3.4% + 20p

As well as the usual eBay fee you also get deducted a Paypal fee from the selling price (2.5% of sale price if I recall correctly).

Do you have to sell within the 25-26th or just list within those dates?

Ensure your listing begins within the time frame stated. You normally pay 10% for a sale e.g 10p for selling @ £1.00, or £1.00 for selling @ £10.00. Should your item be valued at anywhere between £10.00 - upwards, you will save, as you are listing at £1.00 max. Read the terms & conditions carefully as there are exemptions, such as Motor Vehicles. Good luck :smiley:

Total ebay selling noob here. Will this deal take effect from the 25th? I have something I want to list but I heard ebay takes 10% as a final seller fee. Is that right? Will this deal allow me to avoid that fee??

Expired for both of my accounts
also checked all selling and scrolled sown to offers. :disappointed:

Super Duper HOT !!!

I've had the expired message in the past


---> then gone to All Selling, scrolled down & the offer was active in my a/c

worth checking when it becomes active @ midnight

Expired for me. Has anyone had the expired message then tried again later and had the offer work for them?

If you don't get the invitation by tomorrow night, you are lost. I also have no any invitation,but it comes the day before, the promo does not apply for business, power and other super sellers. Every month this over saving me hundreds of pounds. The maximum ebay fee is £250 and 10% on any item sold under £2500, over £2500 it is just £250. The only pain is still paypal with their fees without any promotions + additional fees if buyer from overseas purchase your item. £1 promo by ebay is the best deal for individual sellers ever made,allowing you to sell expensive assets for free(£1)

time to make some cash! :smiley:

Lovely.
Time to de-list and re-list... again.

T & C's Insertion fees for 1 day & 3 days duration listings, listing upgrade fees, automatically relisted listing fees and final value fees will still apply
Make sure u lit 4 at least 5 days otherwise u b charged!!!!

Would prefer the half fees offer to come around again to re-list some lower priced items. However I have a bunch of £20+ stuff coming to the end so no complaints 'ere :smile:

Yeah - Schpock and Facebook Marketplace are probably hurting them - but then again - eBay owns Gumtree :-)

Expired again?

That's why they are doing this every 2 weeks people are moving to different sites .

You will sell there cheaper and don't have so many people that want your items but after you sell something you will
know you sold that not like on ebay 3 weeks later somebody open dispute that game is not working (happened to me).,what can be defective in ps4 game?If you smash into pieces or make scratches obviously will not work.

Somebody played that for 3 weeks finished that and wants to send back to me on my expenses hahaha ,this place is a joke.
Free rent.

Why doesn't it work for me? It's coming up as expired :neutral_face:

I got the offer to sell on Jun 25 to Jun 26 too :smile:

With the exception of one month last summer I've had offer after offer from eBay. Not complaining, but wish they'd just go back to 100 free listings a month, or better 200. As others have mentioned I assume their profits have slipped? The fees seem a little steep, but I can't argue with the worldwide audience it brings to your listings.

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

user error

user error

It won't be for any of there better customers.

Do you list on them dates or complete?

I usually qualify for this deal, not this time though.
I have a couple of £1,000 'ish items for sale currently. perhaps that might be what stopped me from being offered it this time round.

Anyone with high-priced items for sale qualified?

Been waiting on one of these, appreciate the heads up!

that's why it gives you the time frame when you have to list it...

Heat added!

Didnt work for me.....said the below :disappointed:

Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only.

I've also wondered why this keeps appearing.

I think that people have shifted their focus from selling on ebay to the sites you have mentioned.

One of the things thats the worst is the 180 days paypal time frame for disputes.

For the average seller, particularly if you sell an item that you can't send hte buyer another quickly - this is an awful long time.

You essentially have to set aside this money until 180 days has passed if you want ot be on the safe side.

Yeah, sell for £1, buyer claims its fake/DOA/not as described etc, then demand return, scam you, ebay sides with buyer. Worst company in the world, ebay needs sellers, but **** on them when buyer asks for refund. ****

Fantastic timing, just about to list a few things, so will wait until Sunday now, voted hot :sunglasses:

Great for those who get it but I never get an invite :disappointed:

It worked for me, I used one of these last week too.

clicked the link - expired

I have looked at the T & C and it appears to be that it doesn't. Shame as I was going to use it for selling my scooter :-(

Yes 25 and 26 of june if you post items not on the day they say its your fault not theres.How have thay scammed you.

Does anyone know if these offers work on car sales?

Can someone send me an invitation as it's not working for me

Great stuff just used the last one two weeks ago.

It's back then.... awesome

Watch out for the exemptions. I sold a Xbox one under this offer previously and got charged £12.00

Can you please send me an invitation too? Would really help :wink:

Doesn't work I'm afraid

Doesn't come up on your promo offers until the day it starts that's why you can't see if after u have accepted it

I have checked my account. it says this promotional offer expired.

'expired' on both my accounts :disappointed:

this "selected" customer lark is BS. everyone or nobody, it bis the kind of unfair horseplay we've come to expect
from ebay

Just signed up for this. I have two monitors to sell. So I'll be defo listing those. Does this apply for any category?

Massive losses? I doubt it very much.

I suspect the rate at which their profits are increasing has slowed down. Their profits must have seen a huge jump when they introduced fees on P&P a few years ago. I suspect they've reached a threshold and can't really increase fees anymore without losing a serious number of sellers, especially where there are alternatives out there. Those alternatives will only get bigger and more powerful if more sellers migrate to them from eBay and I think eBay know this.

Just my own thought.

I remember when the free ads paper 'Loot' dominated the scene for private sellers. They introduced all sorts of restrictions and (in my opinion) became a little arrogant, losing some of their respect for their own customers. Along came QXL, then eBay, and Loot's decline began. It happened then and it can happen again.

I am the same.

not expired :smiley:

agree with facebook

that Shpock is awful.... full of scroats wanting to swap for fake rubbish or offering you half the price listed

Worked on one account but not another so keep trying :confused:

Link says expired. Ebay will be bankrupt soon as nobody bothering with them!

Most likely Facebook. Loads of local sales going on FB. I always expected Google to take on ebay but it seems FB has done it.

they own gumtree

Unfortunately, you can no longer sign up for this promotional offer because it has expired. Grrrrrrrr!!!! (mad)

you have to wonder why Ebay is doing this so often

I've been selling for 18y and these offers only really started 18m ago
Before then you might have got 5% fees once a year if you were lucky

they must be making massive losses when places like gumtree and facebook are free.

does this mean your item must sell between 25th and 26th? if it goes past 26th, you'll be charged the usual fees?

I have sent you an invitation :smirk:

"Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only." - anyone can help ??

One account very active and have sold quite a bit on previous £1 offers - "expired"
Another dormant account - "invitation only"

Oh well maybe next time - would have been useful as a couple of BIN items listed from a previous offer end in a few days time.

I have only ever used my ebay account to buy a few things and have never sold anything. Clicking the link gives me the same message : Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only.

Do you still have active listing from last months £1 offer ? I do that's why I get that message. My other ebay account with no items selling that didnt get the £1 offer last month, can activate the offer this month.

I just sold my first item two days ago, never claimed any promotions :disappointed:

not showing at all for me, I guess it pops up at midnight same as before

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

Yes. Revised several "buy it now" listings a week or so after listing & still have only been charged £1.

Frequency of these special offers either means they are facing pressure from Facebook and Shpock or UK sales are down in the dumps because people are finding it much harder to make ends meet.

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

Any one else getting this message and why ??

Thanks OP

Last time one account had the £1.00 fees and the other didn't and now the one that didn't last time has it now ;(

The offers are always in accounts on a weekend anyway,mostly on a Sunday,no need to keep checking for it to be posted here,the only advantage is advance warning. :smile:

But I have nothing I want to sell.. :/

Worked again for me on three of my accounts. Thanks.

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

Thanks, been waiting for this to sell some Sonos.

Yes.

Thanks op, that's great!:smile:

Whenever it sells just has to be listed within the period

Once an item is listed if its revised outside of the period does it still count towards the £1 final value fee? Im under the impression it does as the timer doesn't start again.

Thanks Op.

Quick question, so if i list the items in the promotional period, does the item need to be sold in that time frame or whenever it sells after the promotional period? Thanks for this!

Listed within the dates, can sell whenever

thanks op.

Does the item have to be listed -and- sell within the dates mentioned, or should I cancel my current listings and relist on the 25th, say, and then I'll get the offer if it sells anytime in the month it's up for? Thanks

you said you can see '23 to 24th'

Wtf :confused:

nice bait pics or didnt happened

what were they? :P

I clicked on the link, it was accepted, then I refreshed eBay promotional page and it shows offer from 23 to 24th, anyone else getting that?

Got a few bits going in so will come in handy thanks

over 515 quids worth :wink:

what did you sell?

I have had this issue previously but now sign into one account with one web browser (chrome) and into the other account with another web browser (Edge). Since doing this both my accounts have been able to accept these £1 selling offers of which I've done quite a few. Perhaps give it a go if you haven't tried already.

Damnit, just sold something expensive yesterday and wasn't in a rush either :disappointed:

Just clicked the link and it worked! Thanks :smiley:

Saved over 50 quid last time! :smiley: Time to start digging out all i can to sell if it works again this time round :smiley:

Thanks, great offer again as need to sell some expensive stuff...

I've been visiting this site like 10 times a day for the past few days waiting for one of these to appear, hot! I tend not to sell my stuff unless I can get this promotion because the fees are just ludicrous otherwise.

Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only.

If anyone can help im need of it urgently might get hit with £250 ebay fee otherwise

Thanks! Offer accepted :smiley:

Ditto

Perfect, Thanks OP!!!

Looks like you eventually got lucky though because your pic says you've accepted the offer. When I click the link you used, it tells me that it's expired. So sad! Been waiting for this. Did you keep clicking on your link to get it to eventually go on the "accepted" result?

Get Deal works for me, thanks OP, should save me a fair bit this time!

Didnt work for me. it said "Invite only".

Heat from me but none of the links are working for me. One says expired and the other just loops back to HUKD page...I'm so gutted :disappointed:

On the previous two times I used this deal I had to tick the box for payment by Paypal or it wouldn't let me sell. Is that normal or can it be got around somehow?

Also is there an easy way to find out the cheapest way to deliver stuff (I'm a newbie to eBay selling and have never posted anything yet)?

These offers are awesome, on the last one it saved me £130 in fees!

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

Expired :disappointed:

Can i list something now to start on the 25th? or do i actually have to list it on the 25th?

once a month was better. don't like ending and relisting ads half way through. just didn't seem right. :neutral_face:

Thanks op and vassy!! got message saying you have accepted this offer. :smile:

It won't appear until it is live.

Strange it was working when I clicked on it earlier!

Please can someone send the correct link

This is the link for the deal as mentioned by OP - http://www.rsvp.ebay.co.uk/rsvp/signup/3286/C1fS-dWASW4

Clicking this i get this page.


But when i check in my selling page i cant see the offer being activated.

I had sell for a penny on mine today, never got an email about it just stumbled across it.

Your link goes nowhere btw.

I got the deal by just clicking on "get the deal"

That's a shame.
Oh well, better luck next time I guess.

It won't. On two accounts, one was accepted the other got the same message as you. The last time the same thing happened but with the accounts reversed!

thanks

Hope it changes by the 25th.

Super. Thanks.

Thank u

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
