I used to receive regular reduced fee promotions, whether it was 70% off, 80% off or maximum £1 etc.
Apparently, like many on here, these abruptly stopped in late February 2023. My wife has continued to receive a promotion every 2 weeks on her eBay account without exception since that point. Not a single one for me. eBay advise that they are random, but the evidence appears to contradict that.
Anyway, there are several threads on this situation from others.
My question is for anyone in this position who also experienced these promotions suddenly ceasing in February. Has any private seller had a promotion granted to them since then, say after a couple of months without any. I'm curious if most people are in the same position as myself - when the promotions stopped, they have disappeared completely (so far).
Or whether sellers in that position have been gradulally seeing them re-appear once again.

Maybe Ebay are thinking you are not registered correctly going on the amount of current and sold items ?.

"Customer Service" advising that it is completely random and not to worry. is complete bull. seems ebay cant tell the truth. buts seems lots of business sellers are using a private account to sell. and ebay being lazy to check who. ebay has decided to label everyone guilty and put all eggs in one basket. mine stppped in march after 13yrs receiving them. so were is the "its random" logic in this after 13yrs.

I used to sell loads but this year due to not receiving any 80% off offers most of the year I now sell on most other sites from FB to Amazon. Ebay just continues to shoot themselves in the foot. Plus also now nearly all buyers try and get refunds/partial refunds knowing Ebay will always side with them and not the sellers. EBay has become a pathetic, selfish place for most here these days

I too have NOT received seller promotions since Feb 23rd, I originally thought it may be the fact I went on a 2-week holiday and had no EBay selling in March. But clearly that's not the reason. I have been selling lots inthe last 3 months, many items around £15 each, but even getting good sales, and having 100% FB is not seen as good enough.
Shame as I have a £250 item I'm planning on listing next week, fees about £30 I suppose. OUCH. So very unfair they charge fees on the postage element.

I know this will sound odd (hope I'm not shooting my self in the foot) but I just do a search on google every fortnight on a Wednesday and always find the 70% off for private sellers, for the coming Friday. Sometimes I may have to check 2 pages of results but I always find the offer. Hope this helps.

I didn't use to get offers much at all. The someone sent me a link one day and it worked?
He never let me know how did it or how he was able to send/find the link.
It was only about a month later I decided to do some googling myself.

You might find the offer but does it work when you try using it? thats what I have found even for the newest current promos, I get the go away screen of death. The February Clubs cards are marked lol. All I want for Christmas is fvf promos back...... Maybe we should book a huge stadium somewhere to celebrate the anniversary of being cut off and being discriminated against from other ebayers next February. Naturally its all random.
