Have 80% off sellers fees been discontinued?

[alfieoscar74]

I have not had any discounts on sellers fees since February, yet friends and family are still receiving them. Is anyone having the same experience?

Your account is an appalling example of how the system is abused. Not only are you flouting Ebay rules by registering as a 'private seller' with no returns, you are breaking the law.

I am a Private seller..(2007. )  100% feedback  I get these 80% offers appprox monthly..Never  had any trouble   Problem with these 80% variable fees is if you edit the slightest thing on the item being sold you loose the 80% offer off that particular item . Not sure what happens if you send offer to a buyer.

Since when? There's never been and there still is NO issue with editing an auction item thats been listed within the 80% promotion. I've had to edit promo listings, both in the past and recently, and the associated number remains on the promo list for the 80% reduction.

If you edit a 30 day BIN outside of the promotion time, then again, there is NO issue. I say that because you mention what happens when you send out offers, which can only be done on BIN's. The answer is, if the offer is accepted, there is an 80% reduction in the FVF, if the item was listed in an 80% off FVF promotional period.

Are people still getting this 80% off deal every 2 weeks? I used to get them then I was sent 3 months off at 100% but that ended recently. Anyone still getting the 80%?

All of the promotions are for private sellers selling their unwanted possessions. Not for sellers who are flouting Ebay rules by running a business account on a private account. You are also breaking the law.

Thanks Great tip 👍 - I ended all my listings that had been on auto renew for some time, then I went to the home page and the 80% of FVF was there. I'm sure this was not coincidence as the offer "available from"  time was within a minute of me closing all my listings. 

[jimstar79]

Yes, well said. I think I am going to cancel all my active listings until I finally get a promotion. I haven't had a promotion sent to me for a very long time. I've actually lost money recently selling on here with fees and postage costs o high.

You need to maintain your account to Above Standard in order to receive FVF offer. It's not that difficult, even on a brand new account.

Are you Concierge member with ebay ? You get a premium service . I joined in 2007..100% feedback .Not sure why 70% fees are applied to you.Think it depends on how long you have been a member.

Did you recently receive the request to upgrade to a business account? 

[bettysbargainshop24]

I've been getting this discount on this account and my other two accounts like clockwork, then today, nothing.  2 accounts were started this year, the other i've had (Mostly as a buyer) since 2004.  They have all ended the discount of the same weekend.

Can anyone recommend another platform in the UK that i can use to sell stuff without high fees?

TIA   

[notstopbuying]

It depends on the products you sell, as most other online selling sites, tend to be niche. 

[gormiti-king]

It has only been 70% for me for several years, but I've not had it since four weeks ago. A shame as I was hoping to have a good clear out this weekend 😞

[gofastergames]

Me too I have just tried and no 80% for me either for the first time in 4/5 years on my private personal account

[360watches]

Same for me, always offered it on my private account and had a nice plan to sell some more expensive things this weekend, but seems i wont be... Thanks eBay

[1956glyn]

Snap the same for me

I spoke to eBay Support and got this response:
'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.'

Hmm..
