Usually every 6 weeks

What do you think the chances are of a £1 final fee promo this month? It's almost been a month and I've got stuff to shift :grin:

Discount wasn't applied to some stuff I sold, contacted eBay customer service and its been sorted =)

Yes i got lucky on a buy it now. Posted on Satuday mid day and it was bought by that night

I called ebay and asked for bit compassion and the guy just refunded me . Or tried to refund me but poor maths skills. Gave up on him later. But now losing only £7 instead of £35

Was this a very quick purchase, so that you were able to post a new listing within the promotional period? Otherwise, I'm not sure how a replacement purchase would help.

Same thing happened to me. Called eBay and I was told to cancel the order and ask the buyer to pay again. Risky move as the buyer may find this strange, but it worked for me on this occasion

Not much that you can do at this point, I'm afraid, other than being aware of the restriction for future listings and perhaps taking down any multi-item listings that you still have active if you're not happy with the fee.

I was charged 10% because I had multi quantity listing and I thought I am getting it free (£1).

Restrictions & exclusions:
Business sellers and/or PowerSellers.
Sellers who have been invited to participate, but have not actively opted in to the promotion via the RSVP link shown in the marketing communication.
All items listed in the Cars, Motorcycles & Vehicles and Property categories. However, items listed in the Vehicle Parts & Accessories category are included.
Item listed in the Classified format.
Auction-style listings ended early.
Identical listings that don’t comply with our duplicate listings policy.
Any item listed that doesn’t comply with eBay’s listing policies or prohibited and restricted items policies.
Any item listed during the promotional period but scheduled to start after the promotional period.
Listings that are automatically relisted during the promotional period.
Listings that are listed during the promotional period but do not sell and are relisted outside of the promotional period.
Multi-quantity listings
Listing upgrade fees apply and will be charged according to the eBay fees policy.
PayPal and any other third-party fees still apply.
Final value fees apply for second chance offers.
Item must sell within 30 days of listing.

Just spoke to E Bay re this offer. Apparently was sent in error to me, and many other E Bay sellers. Which is why it is saying 'Offer Expired'. So not valid, but another offer being launched next week for valued sellers!!! Grrr.

And we're not talking about lime green and hot shot pink or anything. Two mainstream colours, where I'm sure gold doesn't outsell silver by a factor of ten.

Small agreed but Its not the first time I've noticed it. I'll update viewing figures at the end of the day

Much too small of a sample to draw any real conclusions, though - and the different colours, for example, could well be a relevant factor.

Purely on listing views.

Did an experiment. Listed two iPhones everything identical apart from one being gold, the other silver. Same price, condition , duration etc

The £1 listing got 6 views, and the other( diff account) 56 in one hour .

Don't think it's a coincidence

It's not open for everyone, unfortunately.

I've not seen anything in particular to suggest that, but perhaps try a search yourself and see how/where your lisitng appears?

I'm also convinced these promo listings don't get as much exposure as normal ones.

i got this notification while registering for the deal: Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only.

:disappointed: expired

The 30-day listing option is still there.

Has anyone else noticed that the item must sell within 30 days to qualify but they have removed the 30 day listing option? So I guess they are hoping people will forgot to cancel the items after 30 days and ebay will collect the full FVF when it eventually sells.

expired

Also found the offer in Ebay 'My Messages'. Many thanks to the OP who posted this :smile:

Link not working from here but luckily, I'd saved it to Bookmarks and it worked just now.

It's now live.

did that with cex sold them 4 nice one

thanks for the advice - selling some things separately using this promo this week - but in terms of the amiibos i wanted to sell i've ended up trading them in at cex - low fuss and decent amount of credit - spent £61 on the 5 amiibos and ended up with £111 cex credit - i can usually always find something to buy from there so things turned out well :smile:

Cheers. Just worked for me

says expired for me too, not fair ebay, not fair :disappointed:

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

I relisted mine and it worked fine

Does this work if you relist an item or do you have to create a listing from scratch?

Thanks! Saved £31.86 in eBay fees

Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only.

Says expired

How annoying this does not work for me.

list them now using pictures on pc , do listing to end in 7 days change item picture when you get the item

Did you get it to work?

Says it's expired for me, anyone know why? Thanks

Yes you will need to cancel and relist.

Does anyone have the link to the promotion please?

I'm a private seller but didn't get the marketing comms and it says expired. Ebay is choosing who it likes and who it doesn't. Not impressed.

The same place that it's always been:

Yes now compulsory on the quick list form - use the advanced one to deselect the option before listing.

still expired for me for some reason :disappointed:

My things never tend to sell during these promotions. Always auto relist and sell afterwards -_-

Do you know if the option of...Best offer... is standard on Fixed priced items now? Can't seem to find where to remove it.

Not available for me even though given ebay and Paypal £90 in the last 2 months.

For those recommending Gumtree - you aren't aware that ebay owns it then?!!

Gumtree especially seems to attract weirdos and scammers.

I purposely don't put my number and say if you are interested please message me with your phone number.

Within minutes of listing I'll get a message saying, "Is it still for sale?" or "Hello, this is Mr Frank, Simon, James I am very interested in your item....."

Not the smartest cookies these scammers. For a start who refers to themselves as Mr and secondly do they not have the ability to look up common SURNAMES?!!!

Hello, this is Mr Marcus.....dwads!!

Load of bull . compensate us for taking the mick

thank you - if all my stuff sells you;'ve saved £2000 in fees ! thank you lots :smile:

It's expired

Title here says Sunday & Monday but on ebay it says it expires on the 24th; that could be at midnight. Terms and conditions on the offer aren't any more specific. Anyone know for sure?

Yessss, It worked the other day with this link on here. It said "accepted". But I was doubtful as so many people said it didn't work for them. This morning got message in my Ebay inbox. Clicked on it and it said...You've already accepted this offer. So this link from OP definitely work. Thank you so much OP. You are well HOT. :smiley_cat:

Good for me thanks op

Thanks again, just re-listed 25 items out of the 60 that didnt sell last time for another 30days.

It's not open to everyone, unfortunately.

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

Thank you. :smile:

Is there any chance we can have some sort of FAQ's attached every time there's an ebay promo ?
Probably half or more of the comments here are for basic things like..
a) why does it not show as valid now - because it hasn't started yet for goodness sake !
b) does my listing have to end within the promo period - no, it only has to be listed in that time

and on....... and on...... and on..... repetition of the same s*upid BASIC questions every time there's a promo !

List during the promo period. If you accepted the offer it will be visible when it goes live as has done during previous offers. No need to worry.

I think criteria must mean you have been a member for a while, one account worked as it's been around alot longer than the other

any one know if i have auctions that end sunday will i be able to use this other

any one know if i have auctions that end sunday will i be able to use this other

I normally get an email couple of days before. But I didn't so still not sure if I should list or not. Don't want to end up paying fees as they are high valued items. And Paypal get's enough.:p

it appears when it's valid so tomorow.

Ok, this offer was accepted, but it does not show in my Promotional offers. So I am worried it's only for when you are invited? :disappointed:

I just tried it and it says : 'Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only.' :disappointed:

It's just as easy to save it in drafts instead of making it scheduled if you prefer.
I keep a lot in scheduled instead of turbolister, but put a date a few weeks ahead, and keep revising the dates in bulk every ten days or so to ensure they don't go live until needed. When you want them, just tick all the ones you want to list, click on 'edit' and change the start time from 'schedule' to 'start my listings when I submit them', and they then go live. If you do that after accepting the promo, then they form part of the promotional offer.

Ive set up a delayed listing for 6.30pm tommorow, not saved as a draft. Is this still OK or is it best to save as a draft and manually list after midday tommroow?

worked for me

Can someone confirm if i can schedule listings to start during these times? i think you can but want to be 100%

Expired: I guess it is not for everyone.

Still active, just tried it and it worked, thanks OP :smile:

Expired

Said the promotion had expired!!

It works if you log out from the browser and login after clicking on accept button!

Just worked fine for me

I'd avoid selling on Ebay, had a nightmare, someone bought an item and deliberately tampered with it to make a fault so they could return it, after they have tried selling it twice as perfect condition and working perfectly. I even have photo evidence to prove this, but they aren't interested, they don't want to see the photos, wont even let me offer a partial refund for how much they tried selling it for. I can't even leave them negative feedback, what a joke!

Says expired for me :disappointed:

I sell games and refurbished consoles as a private seller. It's mainly a hobby for now but in the process of moving to a business account to start selling hardware wallets for crypto currencies alongside. I'll move everything over then.

You know you can change buyer parameters in the settings to screen out people who are constantly on the blag, etc. It may take longer to sell but it's worth it. Like I say, not had any bother since Dec last year, maybe one dubious one who wanted me refund them outside the normal procedure, that's it.

I find upping the price a smidgen and giving free postage sells quicker, but that's just me.

Don't do a multi listing, it doesn't qualify - I found out the hard way.

Do 3 listings

Excellent, iv been constantly checking for the last month. Cheers

will give this a try sunday/monday

Can you list say 3 of the same item under quantity, then pay £1 for each sale, or should you list individually ?

Thanks. Have been waiting for this to come back again. Was so unprepared last time only actually got one item on. Now to list 100 on Sunday :sunglasses:

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

Profits down 94% - they are doing very well...

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

So I'm the only one that it doesn't work for lol. It's showing as expired for me.

Nope, invitation only for me. Never used an offer before, more than 100+ 100% feedback, don't sell often tho. *shrug*

Which is fine when you're just selling an old game or a couple of blu-rays you won't watch again but is a bit more difficult when you're selling a large TV or something really valuable.

Expired for me as well

You've accepted the offer "Sell for £1 max!" :smile:‌ :smile: Thanks OP

Why has someone expired this?
Deal doesn't go live yet (although we are able to accept the offer now ready for Sunday use). I was able to accept the offer this morning ready for me to list products on Sunday.
Please un-expire !

All you need to do is get proof of posting. If they claim it has not arrived you can claim your money back and postage cost from Royal Mail. No need to pay for recorded delivery. It takes a few weeks but you get your money in the end. Obviously the ebay refund still goes through but you don't end up out of pocket.

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

I get: "Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only." ??? :cry:

Whens the best time to let an eBay auction end for best results ?

why expired still working?

Accepted me too.. why has it expired?

Been waiting for this for like a whole month now! Thanks OP!

Worked here too. Not expired yet

Sweet, got accepted in this promo.

Now what do I want to sell...

Just worked for me, why is it showing expired

Thanks works for me!

Just worked for me as well, it didn't work yesterday when I tried

Worked for me! Random or what!

Worked for me, thanks OP!

What the hell are selling to attract people like that? I sell things all the time and rarely have trouble. Anything less than 95% success rate and I'd be selling elsewhere. If it's attracting scammer it's obviously niche or high value, have you tried Amazon?

expired for me.

Expired? It hasn't started yet. LOL

This happens once a month now so I reset all my unsold listings and add new ones. I rarely pay their normal fee. It's extortionate anyway.

was gunna vote hot but saying expired why??
working on my ebay

I've just clicked on the link and it's working - Thanks OP. Unfortunately I can't add heat as this posting is saying expired now.

It's the only time I sell. :smile:

This should be unexpired as I just signed up and it worked!

Does this only apply to personal accounts?

I wouldn't risk it tbh.

Ebay CS will always side with the buyer so even as a private seller stating no returns you can get shafted with the postage costs both ways if the buyer finds fault or just changes their mind. Just be aware that there's liabilities involved in listing stuff and accepting payment by Paypal.

Ebay is a joke,there's some rite fraudsters out there that want something for nothing.then you get the idiots that bid and don't pay,absolutely sick of that.

Unlucky guys, I got no final value fees for upto 10 listings

These work for me every time, it'd be interesting to find out what the criteria is for being allowed to enter since there's always people saying it doesn't work for them, maybe it's based on how much you've sold over a certain time frame?

I only sell one or two items a month at most and had my account for probably at least 10 years now, I have around 250~ feedback at 100% positive.

Just don't sell on ebay. They know they have competition from shpock and gumtree, they know their fees are ridiculous. Just wait it out for the next £1 offer or don't use ebay

Please do not support ebay UNLESS they have these promotions. Thanks

Don't get me wrong if I was eligible for this offer I would use it. But I'm not, unfortunately. So down with eBay. Boo! Hiss! Etc.

That's a valid point of view but not everyone on shpock and gumtree is a weirdo drug addict. And it's really easy for an eBay buyer to rip you off just as much as a gumtree buyer. The difference is that eBay will support the buyer while he rips you off

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssss

Hot - Link and offer working for me :-)

Thanks, just what I needed and the link worked for me.

I find you get accepted for all there promotions, if you opt in to receive all there spammy emails, yes a pain but since I signed up I get offered everything

Some idiot left me negative feedback because he sent an eCheque and the payment didn't process. Now this is showing as expired which really means I don't qualify for the promotion. Ffs

"Then unfortunately, I won't be using eBay to sell things"

Woot!

Tried all 3 accounts - "Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only"

Wahoo! :grin: I have SO much gear to shift (again) :grin:

I got sell 10 items for free, no fees at all.

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

Thank you!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I COULD KISS YOU !!!!!

This promotion is invitation only

Great timing, just about to run out of my previous 30 days £1 max FVF listings :smile:

Thanks OP :raised_hand:

Relisting should be fine, going on prior experience.

Thanks.

Wahey, thanks for posting OP! Worked for me just now. Time to try and shift some tat...

Oh balls. I waited and waited for this and ended up listing my S7 Edge with no offer

annoying that there's a few items i wanted to resell which won't arrive until after the promotion ends - doesn't appear on selling feed but says accepted - will have to see on the 23rd if it is active or not

Thanks got alot to re-list from the last time.

Can I cancel my current listing and realist it on Sunday or will eBay pick up on this and charge full fees once ended?

All those bargains people bought on Amazon prime day but people now realise they don't want...!

Nice now I can put up that razer keyboard and mouse I need to sell without being robbed lol

Thx mate

Worked for me, thank you.

excellent thanks op worked for me, thanks again!!

Hot, been waiting for this :-)

just this minute signed in and accepted

August is actually the worst month for selling, so this is why these offers are available - loads of potential buyers are either away on Holiday or are holding onto/just spent all their money on their holiday, so buying less online. Having said that, I'll still be using this offer as there is the end of the month payday coming up, but I don't expect much to go after that...love to be wrong, but not in the last few years, regardless what it was I was selling.

offer is not expired, just signed up for mine and my wifes's account, both accepted. thanks op

Great find

Same here, offer expired. Was just about to list my 7 Plus too!!

Yep same here. I just use another email account I barely look at for their emails. Thanks OP.

I'm over the moon. Got a few relatively expensive items to sell and been waiting, nay praying £1 max sale would be back.

Was too lazy to list everything last time this was on an regretted it. Will definitely do it this time. Heat added :face_with_monocle:

Promotion has expired

thanks so much was waiting for this!!

I've got it!

Worked for me again, thanks!

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

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

woohoo. It worked. It's usually rare it works... it tends to work if I have had recent activity. I have had recent activity. A month ago when they did another £1 fvf! muwhahhaha. Really cool though. I sold 2-3 expensive items where the buyer was a time waster (SO ANNOYING when they decide they dont want it after winning your auction especially when it was already selling for more than you expect). I never relisted them because where they were £100 / £1 fvf, relisting would be the default 10%, e.g. £10fvf... thank god I have another opportunity so soon.

So,to get this offer you need to list your stuff from 23/07 to 24/07 but doesn't matter when it sells,right? Or your listing needs to end by 24/07?
Just read T&C,it's up to 30 days after listing.

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

worked for me, i rarely sell stuff, so this is great

Awesome. Thanks op!

invitation only

Finally! I've been waiting for it. Thank you

Unlucky

Was just about to post this lol. Tried the link yesterday from the last thread and said expired. Just tried now and works :party: Some of my listings from the last one are due to end in 6 days so will relist

no good for us - as travelling

so HOT AS HELL - thanks OP :smile:

Im getting this when i try,

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

I did sign up the last time it was on.

Can I schedule items to start during the promotional period and get a 1 fvf?

great.....thanks

How much for the wok?X)

hotukdeals.com/dea…123


Always the above as an alternative.

Work for me too :smile: perfect , they basically seems to be one of these every month at the moment .

These offers always seem to happen on bank holiday weekends too , so I am guessing one month from the end of this offer another will kick in , due to the bank holiday.

Thanks op!!

Ffs can't sell anything expensive on eBay without one of these as the combined fees of theirs + Paypal's are horrendous. Says expired for me.

Thanks. I have changed the title date so it is correct now. Everyone...please check the T&C's if you are accepted. eBay are very strict over this sort of thing and will charge you the normal selling rate if you do not adhere to their terms.

strangely it woks on my active account but says its by invitation only on the unused account

Cool mine last listing are just about to run out from the last time they had this on

Yay ...works on both my accounts. :smiley_cat:

I got the same! Must be selected accounts!

Cheers, need this.

Thanks OP been waiting for this :smile:

How does this work, does it include paypal fees etc?

Link worked for me also.

Appreciated

Sunday and Monday. Not Saturday and Sunday. Careful folks.
Heat added.

Fantastico. Thanks.

23rd is Sunday. Please correct.

Worked for me TA

:grin: Nice find. It won't appear in your offers section until the 23rd. Obviously don't try to sell anything until that date. You can create listings as drafts i.e. get them all ready and then position live on Sunday

Thanks
