Just received this offer on one of my stores

Close, Relist and Save 50%

Close your unpaid item case & then relist 3 items in the next 10 days to save 50% off your final value fees.

 

When I took up the offer it closed the case automatically.  The case was 3 days overdue for closing, and I had just missed it.

 

T&Cs state that by offer only, and the way I read them, the 3 relisted items must be sold with the next 10 days.  Still, nothing to lose and might even get some cheaper FVFs.

From memory when I got this you just had to list the 3 items within 10 days and you hope they sold within the first listing. Once they auto relist, the party's over.

It seems to appear if you've had an unpaying buyer.

Apparently not if you close the case yourself.

 

I just finished one and there were no kind offers made or symathetic sentiments expressed.

 

Maybe it's a new thing?

Or just random or 'pot luck', like most ebay offers.

Yes appears that way.  I had opened the case but not closed it after the due date, and sort of forgot about it, so it was 3 overdue from when I could have closed it.  Mostly I close on the first day I can claim, so have never seen this before.  Wasn't even a lot of money ($14.95 including postage), which you might think is the time they would send these offers, to soften the blow of the loss of a big pay day, so to speak.

I got the offer on my store account, which hasn't had a NPB for 6 months and wasn't eligible. I tried it on another account, which I closed a case on about 2 weeks prior and it worked. And I got the 50% off for the 2 sales that qualified.
