Hi Russ,

 

Over that weekend, from Black Friday to Cyber Monday there will be offers across the site. 

I don't have the specifics and there will be a wide range for both buyers and sellers.

 

The best thing to do here is to ensure your communication preferences are set up to allow emails of this kind.

 

Thanks,

Katie

Hi Katie,

 

Thank you for your reply.

I wasn't asking what sellers are doing, I was asking if eBay are joining in the black friday sales.

 

Considering it is next month, I don't think I am jumping the gun by asking if eBay are taking part in the largest sale event of the year.

Are eBay joining in this year?

Thanks

Russ

Hi Russ,

 

Sorry if my first answer wasn't clear, eBay will be supporting sellers with promotions.

 

As eBay doesn't house any inventory all Black Friday sales would run through sellers, some can have assistance from eBay but I don't have the details.

 

In terms of eBay fees and free listing promotions I do not have information if there will be any. Traditionally there has been. We like to promote this beforehand so if I get any details on this I'll do my best to share in advance of the weekend.

 

Thanks,

Katie

Hi Katie,

I have been on eBay for more than 20 years.

I do not remember the details of when Black Friday was started here, but to date, eBay have never given any sale of discount to sellers in fees or promotions.

To my knowledge, the seller's make the whole sacrifice and eBay take normal FVF's without any discount or otherwise incentive.

Hence my question, are eBay actually going to join in or just rake in the extra money from the huge increase in sales and let the sellers make all of the discounts themselves?

Thanks

Russ
