80% off fees promotion deal

[goshawke1]

Hi,

Im just wondering if anyone has received the 80%off fees dpromotion today as I havent had one last friday which I was expecting or todayeither, usually pop in to my inbox every two weeks which would have been last friday. A friend who is also a seller contacted ebay after experiencing the same and ebay said they could be appearing this week but as of 10am today no deal has appeared.

Thanks.

No you're not alone,  a member contacted eBay Customer Support and received this answer:

'From time-to-time eBay reviews our ongoing promotional campaigns and may decide to suspend, change, or cancel them at any time. We have taken the decision not to offer promotions over the weekend of the 20th-22nd September 2024.'

Presumably the same applies to this weekend.

They have been sudpended.

With number of free listings being reduced to 300 I cannot see these offers being made regularly as  100 every two weeks that would produce too much bunching of items for sale.

I and many others have not had an offer for over a year, so no loss as far as I am concerned.

I also cannot see BINs as being listed till cancelled, as that rather defeats the reduction as over a year  a private seller could build up 3600 listings. Time ebay had a blitz on all the Business Sellers trading as Private Sellers, think of all the fees ebay are losing.

Nobody here is sure if that offer has now been removed completely, or if eBay have something new planned in the near future.

At a guess, if anything new is planned I'd say that it'll be announced October 1st, so would hold fire from listing until then if you can.
