Another eBay Final Value Fee offer. This one for up to 100 items (rather than the maximum 5 items ones recently). I acknowledge that this is targeted, but it's worth checking the link to see if you're eligible.
£1 FVF for items listed from 16:00 on Saturday 23rd to 15:59:59 on Monday 25th September. Don't be caught out by the very unusual start and end times!!!
Edit : It looks like eBay made an error in their communications, stating that this started/ended at Sat 16:00/Sun 15:59:59. Note that this actually starts and ends as follows:
From : Sunday, 24/09/17 00:00:00 Ends : Monday, 25/09/17 23:59:59

I missed this deal only because of this hukd deal. Gone are the days of trusting this site. Everyone rushes when in fact all you need is an invitation to confirm. In my case, I did receive a message with the offer but I haven't seen it because I thought I wasn't selected, because of this topic.

So what is the actual end time for this deal? Is it midnight today or 15.59? If it's the latter that's reall sneaky as I've just listed my items and I'm too late.

bulk listings are excluded - eBay calls them multi-quantity listings
so let your auction run to the end otherwise you will pay FVF - sneaky eBay.

No. Still not working for me. Link still says:
Unfortunately, you can no longer sign up for this promotional offer because it has expired.
NO emails / messages or announcements received from ebay regarding this or any other variant of the promo. No buttons anywhere to get the offer hidden on their website like some people are mentioning here.
ebay really **** me off. They should be giving everyone the same offers and also reducing their fees for everyone. I have so many items I need to list.

eBay did tell us otherwise. The eBay link said it was starting at 4pm yesterday. This post was only misleading because eBay themselves said 4pm.
m0dm0use
24 Sep 17#254
This post is misleading, I had the offer declined from the link but sometime lastnight I got the message with the invite to the offer when is ending at one minute to midnight tomorrow and not the time shared here.
In future I will ignore the offer here and just await an email, it's worked before and again today. I will ignore the start time unless eBay tells me otherwise because the offer starts as soon as its accepted.
I wish two items didn't sell yesturday as I would have saved £8.80 in fees, not impressed.

ton23
24 Sep 17#252
For anybody asking why they did not received £1 final fees per 100 items and for 10 only, i presume that is because your selling items allowance is 10 items, if you got your limit items increased to a 100 you will get the promo for a 100 items. It's sensible i think. Other thing,if your listing is for multiple items(more than one) from same kind you will not get this promo at all on this listing.

ANYONE THAT LISTED THEIR ITEM(S) ON EBAY ON SATURDAY BETWEEN 16.00-23.59 - PLEASE CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT TO SEE WHETHER YOUR LISTINGS HAVE QUALIFIED FOR THE £1 LISTING FEE (YOU CAN CHECK HOW MANY £1 LISTINGS YOU HAVE USED UNDER MY SELLING TAB). I MENTION THIS AS I HAD LISTED 10 EXPENSIVE ITEMS ON SATURDAY EVENING ONLY TO LATER REALISE THAT NONE QUALIFIED AS THE "ELIGIBLE PERIOD" BEGAN FROM 00.00 ON SUNDAY. WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY COSTLY MISTAKE HAD I NOT NOTICED. JUST WANTED TO WARN OTHERS WHO MAY NOT HAVE REALISED!

Ok I see, but when I clicked the link in the hotukdeals app, it took me to my eBay account in browser which gave me the exact same error message so I gave up and assumed I was not on the list. I only found it because I was checking back and persistently looking inside the app itself.
But yes, I expect it might be account specific too.

It is very important to remember that eBay Promotional Offers are by invitation only to qualifying accounts

Heat added! Just recieved the invite message via iphone app (didn't recieve anything via email). i had same offer around 3 weeks ago and the £3 offer last week. Looks like ebay are getting desparate, due to sky high fees and competition from the likes of facebook. at least when i list more stuff later today, and i get several time wasting non payers, i wont lose as much in final value fees.

I'm going of my past experience here, but if you list multiple items is an listing it won't count at all. have to be 1 item listed only per listing. I use to list multiple items in the past and get stung by the full FVF.

I've had no luck at getting this offer on 3 accounts for days, and now out of the blue, i get this message on ebay "£1 max final value fee on up to 10 listings and no insertion fee" It's given me less than a day to sell from when i accepted the offer.
read the terms but couldnt find the answer to this:
I know the terms exclude Second Chance offers and only mention £1 fee per listing instead of per item. Does that mean if I have a bulk listing of say 5 items at a fixed BIN, the offer only applies to all items or only the first item.
They also exclude Duplicate listings of same item from offer so its not like I can list the same item 5 times separately.

You've accepted the offer "Sell for £1 max!"
dudes - you're not going to believe this! after not getting this deal but clicking on the link about 50 times - I only scroll down to the bottom of my All Selling page and there it is!
it wasn't there this morning, when I last checked
so my advice is: if you have been similarly disappointed, click on the link a few times (literally 50 times in my case) then check it out as I said

hi, have you gotten ebay offer before? May be contact ebay to see what is going on. I ask as sometimes people would not getting any offer as their ac setting choice not to accept ebay marketing.
I also list items on gumtree free (or on face book) have some success, maybe you would interest about it.
dealchaser888
24 Sep 17#212
yes, while I click the OP link, it show I activated but no email and not shown on my account page. So no one sure if we are qualified by just click the OP link, someone on this thread saying he/she had been charged for full FVF.
Hours way pass 16:00 pm, finally get the offer email at 01:14 am and it also finally shown on my eBay ac page and mark start 24/09/17 00:00:00 BST & end 25/09/17 23:59:59 BST. However the promotion link marks offer start 23-sept-17 16:00 pm & end 25-Sep-2017 15:59:59.
(I think eBay mess up with the time zone, thus late email and account alerts)

I spoke to ebay and they made clear that it is completely random and selected by computer which accounts are selected to benefit from this promotion. There is no way of activating the promotion if you have not been pre-selected by their computer and their staff can't even enable these promotions manually.
Anx10us
24 Sep 17#209
People that say it's purely "invite only" are completely wrong, and yet they keep repeating it.
It's true that it does say that it's non transferable in the terms because you have to have the marketing communication options switched on (that may be why some miss out and moan every time) but I have promotional messages deactivated and yet I followed the link and it works perfectly. Always does. Every time. My mother got the email and it works for her too. Works both ways.
Try the link here and it'll either work for you or not, you'll get 10 listings or 100, all down to eligibility, that simple.

Remember in future that the promo is not active unless it appears in your Promotional offers section at the bottom of your Selling page. It does not matter what you accepted, if it's not listed there then your listings will be allocated to the standard "Pay only when you sell" and you will pay full final value fees.
After you list your first item, scroll back down to check that your listing as been deducted from the promotion:
Anx10us
23 Sep 17#198
This is the first time I've ever seen it say you're eligible and can start listing then not actually show up.
It doesn't normally matter if you've had the email or not because it works out if you're eligible when you click the link.
Either way, eBay have messed up.

If we agree to their 'Sell for £3 max" or "£5 max fee" offers, they will probably end or (like this weekend) restrict the real prize deals - £1 max. Can't blame them. We would all prefer three or five times the margin on our sales.

I know that when i got an "invite" from ebay about a month ago for the same offer, part of the twrms and conditions state that you MUST have been invited by ebay to participate in the offer, so beware, if youre just clicking on the link without getting the email directly from ebay. Thats probably how they are screwing people.
SaverSaver to dexy2

They're not screwing anyone - if you're not "invited" the link simply doesn't give you the offer. They've simply mixed the times up, the offer will be on tomorrow. Big mistake for a big company but not the end of the world really.

I wouldn't list anything - they will simply ask for proof of this offer and sadly nobody has any email saying the offer actually exists and should go "live".

Ha! So it does! That might make sense too, seeing as they only just did the £3 offer. Normally a month apart. But then why would it accept and say the start date was 23-Sep-2017 16:00?
SaverSaver to Anx10us
23 Sep 17#157
Because it means 1600 PDT (midnight BST)? Always started at midnight before. Offers are not every month so don't worry about when the £3 offer was on, they're pretty random and not so long ago were almost weekly.
Going to be on tomorrow!

You advertise outside eBay you are breaking the rules and they will charge you the fee they think they should get. eBay own Gumtree and I have more luck on Gumtree than eBay. eBay own Paypal and can do wtf they want without your money (you signed the Paypal agreement).

I am going to say that bit about charging you for something that may (or may not) have been sold offsite is pretty much just scaremongering - I would say what they are proposing is pretty much unlawful in the UK. They are also claiming you could pay an administration fee to Ebay for the cost of catching you as well.
Ebay and Paypal are now technically different companies now ... or supposed to be.
Anyways 1st time I haven't qualified for this offer so it makes me think that Ebay are simply targeting less active accounts with this one - hopefully this isn't their new "normal".

Its only if you have it listed on Ebay and say a buyer inboxes you and asks to see it or asks to sell outside of ebay. Just say for instance they want to view first, they inbox you and give you their number or ask for yours. You exchange details then shortly after the item is removed from Ebay. Then Ebays software is meant to kick in, it sees the exchange and its flagged. I am guessing they contact the buyer to see if they bought it, if they say yes then both get warnings and the seller gets hit with fees. Basically, if its pick up only which this will effect more, dont encourage buyers to ask to view prior unless they are prepared to buy it first then walk away if they dont want it, you then relist. As long as they use the buy now button or wait till the end of the auction and win and even if they pay on pick up once inspected you will be ok. Ebay just want their fees and a sale trail if anything goes wrong. This will be the hardest on pick up only or big or unusual items especially if a buyer wants to see it first. I have stuff on gumtree and ebay, if it sells on gumtree I will remove it off ebay without worrying I will get hit with a fee as long as I havent exchanged details with someone first plus I doubt very much they would get away with it especially if my gumtree sale had nothing to do with a buyer on ebay. Just dont give your details out to any buyer until after they buy it, how they pay after that well thats up to you and them. Oh and you cant put your phone number etc in your description anymore or have links, watermarks etc that may do the same. (business sellers have their own section for this as its law)

I had a watch listed for about a month and had a few interested people but nothing came of it. I decided to keep it so ended the listing then I got hit with a 7 day suspension and a quote from one of my messages that had no details about phone number or address. It was the wife’s account and she couldn’t be bothered to call to moan to them.
So even if you sell elsewhere don’t end the listing but just jack the price up.
caverncity to steveieboy1
23 Sep 17#112
ebay use a new algorithm software that detects unusual activity in your inbox and as we all now most if not all ebays new algorithm software doesnt work hence why you probably got a suspension. I got warned but I did have a phone number in mine and it was off the buyer.

Sorry to hear that. I feel very interest as I might list my car for sale soon. I would image lots of potential buyer would love to view it first. So how could we arrange such?
dealchaser888 to caverncity
23 Sep 17#147
Hi, thanks to mention that, I did not really pay attention to that until now you mention about such situation, I did have buyer suggest something like that before. He viewed it and we finished the ebay transaction on spot.
Now I must be more careful and make sure prior message to the buyer, he could view but have to prepare to click buy on ebay on spot.

Hi, ebay is very strange this time.
I clicked the link while on 21st and not for me this time (always read it first hand on hot uk then get ebay emails much later)
so I think ebay would stop give such to my account.
Today around 14:22pm, I try again, first check my email, nothing, then my ebay account all selling page (they used to show any offer there) nothing.
But hey, while I click OP link, I am qualify from 16:00 pm today.
(PS still nothing on my email nor ebay ac at 14:39, so would try listing at 4pm and double check if it is free before click the final button )
(also beware #caverncity (above) mention ebay change rules, I have to very careful as sometimes I do have buyer suggest that too)

It worked for me a few days ago. ebay seem to be losing users left, right and centre, as a lot are switching to facebook. People are tired of being ripped off by sky high fees, and aren't willing to pay to sell anymore heat added, as its about time ebay gave something back to their customers.
The time seemed strange for this one... wonder if it starts tonight at midnight? Will wait and see.
SaverSaver to jonb2412
23 Sep 17#134
Good point. Official "ebay time" is PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) which is 8 hours behind us (BST). Therefore 4.00pm PDT is midnight BST.
Probably equals big mess up with the clocks.

Have we all been scammed into accepting an offer that doesn't exist - but lists us ready for ebay to ban our accounts for trying to accept an offer that wasn't for us??
To be honest I normally wait foe the mail or check my promotional section (as it shows in there with an accept button before I normally see an email) but like many - I have been waiting for this promo and was trying to get a little ahead of the game.
This page will show up prominently when you Google "ebay £1", and accepts you into this specific offer if "eligible". If eBay strictly only wanted people who'd received emails, then that's simply two layers of incompetence on their part.
runnybabbit
22 Sep 17#87
If I make drafts now and complete them when the offer is active, will that work? I'm thinking the site might do you over on that because it might consider the listing had technically been created prior, regardless of when it was actually published.

quick question:
The item has to sell within the 2 day period to be eligible for £1 max fee or does one just need to list it within the 2 day window and it can see after the 2 day window and still be eligible?

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) 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 got this on an old unused account a few days ago, different dates to this offer. ive listed a buy it now or best offer item that runs for 30 or 31 days, if my item isnt sold and it gets relisted am i still getting the same final price fee deal. its a dear ish item @ £900 and ive heavily dropped the price, but if ebay take there chunk then theirs no point selling it. TIA.
Vmaster1uk to joe_f
22 Sep 17#89
No, I did the same thing (item got unsold and then it got relisted automatically and sold) and they do charge the fees as normal
To anyone, don't relist the auction automatically or else it wont cover the promotion

it's always user error
did you list multiple items under 1 listing?
did you list outside the permitted categories?
if not, did you contact Ebay to get your fees adjusted or find out what else you got wrong?
Xad
22 Sep 17#78
Accepted, surprisingly :grin: Thanks.
eBay should just lower their fees permanently, 10% + a further 3% from Paypal, an ebay company, definitely is a bit of a much. £1 max final fee for all sales for non-business sellers seems perfect, a chunky percentage cut definitely stops plenty of people from listing their stuff on eBay, it's not like eBay has to go out of it's way and do something for the seller of a more expensive item or offer more features.
bd1981bd to Xad
22 Sep 17#79
Don't forget that gem of an idea they had with PayPal which takes a further cut - makes it pointless without a fvf deal!
billy.bronco to Xad

absoulutely agree 100%..they charge way to much as a final value fee plus paypal charges. what little bit of money you make, they take it off you, Thats why very rarely sell unless its low value items..

The eBay error messages are often misleading, it hasn't expired at all as it doesn't even come into effect until the 23rd. I couldn't get the 1p deal posted earlier but I did get this one and as usual never got any email about it despite being signed up to all promotions/communications. Think eBay deliberately fail to inform people so they can keep on charging full FVF!

it says that it expires at 3:59pm, odd though because it's past that time and it hasn't expired yet :thinking:
Midnight tonight.
90 mins on website then they cut me off.. thy wouldn't admit there was a problem
2 mins on phone.. acknowledged error and refunded me difference
T&Cs - from pages.ebay.co.uk/pro…98/
Restrictions & exclusions:
so let your auction run to the end otherwise you will pay FVF - sneaky eBay.
ebay really **** me off. They should be giving everyone the same offers and also reducing their fees for everyone. I have so many items I need to list.
In future I will ignore the offer here and just await an email, it's worked before and again today. I will ignore the start time unless eBay tells me otherwise because the offer starts as soon as its accepted.
I wish two items didn't sell yesturday as I would have saved £8.80 in fees, not impressed.
Other thing,if your listing is for multiple items(more than one) from same kind you will not get this promo at all on this listing.
"Valid from 24 September 2017 until 25 September 2017. Maximum fee per sold listing. Applies on up to 10 listings. No insertion fees apply. Private sellers only. Item must sell within 30 days of listing."
I only found it because I was checking back and persistently looking inside the app itself.
But yes, I expect it might be account specific too.
Using this link will not give members access to the promotion if they have not already been invited to use/accept the offer
Using this link will not give members access to the promotion if they have not already been invited to use/accept the offer
i had same offer around 3 weeks ago and the £3 offer last week. Looks like ebay are getting desparate, due to sky high fees and competition from the likes of facebook.
at least when i list more stuff later today, and i get several time wasting non payers, i wont lose as much in final value fees.
Try that, it should work for you too.
If the link doesn't work check your ebay messages.....ebay only messaged me today ...
awesome.
"£1 max final value fee on up to 10 listings and no insertion fee"
It's given me less than a day to sell from when i accepted the offer.
rsvp.ebay.co.uk/rsv…gFA
I know the terms exclude Second Chance offers and only mention £1 fee per listing instead of per item. Does that mean if I have a bulk listing of say 5 items at a fixed BIN, the offer only applies to all items or only the first item.
They also exclude Duplicate listings of same item from offer so its not like I can list the same item 5 times separately.

The other one:
Invitation only
:angry:
Not selling with the normal disgustingly high eBay fees + paypal
dudes - you're not going to believe this! after not getting this deal but clicking on the link about 50 times - I only scroll down to the bottom of my All Selling page and there it is!
it wasn't there this morning, when I last checked
so my advice is: if you have been similarly disappointed, click on the link a few times (literally 50 times in my case) then check it out as I said
Let's get listing :grin:
I also list items on gumtree free (or on face book) have some success, maybe you would interest about it.
Hours way pass 16:00 pm, finally get the offer email at 01:14 am and it also finally shown on my eBay ac page and mark start 24/09/17 00:00:00 BST & end 25/09/17 23:59:59 BST. However the promotion link marks offer start 23-sept-17 16:00 pm & end 25-Sep-2017 15:59:59.
(I think eBay mess up with the time zone, thus late email and account alerts)
It's true that it does say that it's non transferable in the terms because you have to have the marketing communication options switched on (that may be why some miss out and moan every time) but I have promotional messages deactivated and yet I followed the link and it works perfectly. Always does. Every time. My mother got the email and it works for her too. Works both ways.
Try the link here and it'll either work for you or not, you'll get 10 listings or 100, all down to eligibility, that simple.
After you list your first item, scroll back down to check that your listing as been deducted from the promotion:
It doesn't normally matter if you've had the email or not because it works out if you're eligible when you click the link.
Either way, eBay have messed up.
AND. . .
It's ON!
Sneaky timezones!
Shame.. was looking forward to listing lots of things.
Just, y'know, less exciting.
Be strong! Resist!
My friend just right now received the invite offer (£1 max fees) email directly from eBay with the dates stating Valid from 24 September 2017 until 25 September 2017
But when they click the email link it takes you to this link posted here with the dates stating 23-Sep-2017 16:00:00
25-Sep-2017 15:59:59
Normally works without getting the email though.
The fact that this has come up expired for me points to it actually being an old offer - that and the 100 listings ...

Thanx
Going to be on tomorrow!
Sounds like a dubious proposition to me...
You advertise outside eBay you are breaking the rules and they will charge you the fee they think they should get. eBay own Gumtree and I have more luck on Gumtree than eBay. eBay own Paypal and can do wtf they want without your money (you signed the Paypal agreement).
Ebay and Paypal are now technically different companies now ... or supposed to be.
Anyways 1st time I haven't qualified for this offer so it makes me think that Ebay are simply targeting less active accounts with this one - hopefully this isn't their new "normal".
This will be the hardest on pick up only or big or unusual items especially if a buyer wants to see it first. I have stuff on gumtree and ebay, if it sells on gumtree I will remove it off ebay without worrying I will get hit with a fee as long as I havent exchanged details with someone first plus I doubt very much they would get away with it especially if my gumtree sale had nothing to do with a buyer on ebay. Just dont give your details out to any buyer until after they buy it, how they pay after that well thats up to you and them. Oh and you cant put your phone number etc in your description anymore or have links, watermarks etc that may do the same. (business sellers have their own section for this as its law)
So even if you sell elsewhere don’t end the listing but just jack the price up.
I feel very interest as I might list my car for sale soon. I would image lots of potential buyer would love to view it first. So how could we arrange such?
Now I must be more careful and make sure prior message to the buyer, he could view but have to prepare to click buy on ebay on spot.
Nice deal if you get it.
I clicked the link while on 21st and not for me this time (always read it first hand on hot uk then get ebay emails much later)
so I think ebay would stop give such to my account.
Today around 14:22pm, I try again, first check my email, nothing, then my ebay account all selling page (they used to show any offer there) nothing.
But hey, while I click OP link, I am qualify from 16:00 pm today.
(PS still nothing on my email nor ebay ac at 14:39, so would try listing at 4pm and double check if it is free before click the final button )
(also beware #caverncity (above) mention ebay change rules, I have to very careful as sometimes I do have buyer suggest that too)
Anx10us9 m agoMidnight would be in line with all other promnotions I've seen.
Makes sense
ebay seem to be losing users left, right and centre, as a lot are switching to facebook. People are tired of being ripped off by sky high fees, and aren't willing to pay to sell anymore
heat added, as its about time ebay gave something back to their customers.
Probably equals big mess up with the clocks.
See you tomorrow!
iv even just clicked the start selling now tab and once live its actually used one off the pay when it sells, i refuse to sell on ebay now unless im paying them £1. they have had enough off me already.
To be honest I normally wait foe the mail or check my promotional section (as it shows in there with an accept button before I normally see an email) but like many - I have been waiting for this promo and was trying to get a little ahead of the game.
This page will show up prominently when you Google "ebay £1", and accepts you into this specific offer if "eligible". If eBay strictly only wanted people who'd received emails, then that's simply two layers of incompetence on their part.

If you get the expired message it means you're not eligible for the offer.
The item has to sell within the 2 day period to be eligible for £1 max fee or does one just need to list it within the 2 day window and it can see after the 2 day window and still be eligible?
Worked fine for me :raised_hand:
They have been getting well trixy over start and stop times/dates/postage options - really have to keep your wits about you!
Also got an email about user agreement update - seems they are really clamping down on outside of ebay selling.....effective 22 October.
live chat ask for printscreen of email.
It didn't work on the one I usually use for selling but did on the other, so perhaps they have giving the offer to those who don't normally sell often.
heat given, thanks!
ive listed a buy it now or best offer item that runs for 30 or 31 days, if my item isnt sold and it gets relisted am i still getting the same final price fee deal.
its a dear ish item @ £900 and ive heavily dropped the price, but if ebay take there chunk then theirs no point selling it.
TIA.
To anyone, don't relist the auction automatically or else it wont cover the promotion
I learnt this the hard way:(
did you list multiple items under 1 listing?
did you list outside the permitted categories?
if not, did you contact Ebay to get your fees adjusted or find out what else you got wrong?
eBay should just lower their fees permanently, 10% + a further 3% from Paypal, an ebay company, definitely is a bit of a much. £1 max final fee for all sales for non-business sellers seems perfect, a chunky percentage cut definitely stops plenty of people from listing their stuff on eBay, it's not like eBay has to go out of it's way and do something for the seller of a more expensive item or offer more features.
Thank you OP.
I have taken a screenshot of the offer acceptance page but still would put my mind at rest seeing that promo show up along with the rest.
Finally can get rid of a whole load of tat that I've had sitting about doing nothing. Cheers op!
(Would have got rid of it all much quicker had they not killed off the awesome FSFT section...)
If I relist unsold item it will qualify to £1 FVF or I must to make an auction from scratch?
Maybe next time.
Previous ones have worked so I will try again in a few days. If it doesn't work I will just wait for one that does work and instead sell on Facebook. Sorry ebay, I'm not paying you 10%.
