150 free listings?????????????????????

griffinvale — Sat, 02 May 2015 03:11:00 GMT

I got an email today offering 150 free listings until 12th May, this was sent to a new ID I set up last week. It said as I had been selling a lot here is a reward. This ID has sold nothing and is resticted to 30 listings per month??????????????????? What the hell good are 150 listings goping to do for me??????????????????

And this is after they said on Thursday they would not increase my limit because I was breaking Ebay rules.

I tried to get them on my other ID's and, of course, it was by invitation only.

Anyone got a brick wall I can borrow?

If the free listings are available until 12th May, that's a longer listing period than usual isn't it ? So maybe it hasn't actually started yet

The email says it runs for 10 days from the time the email is sent and ends on the 12th. Starts midnight tonight. I decided to accept it on the new ID even though I cannot use them just to see what happened, it gave them to me no problem????? Could not get it on either of my other 2 ID's, "sorry, invitation only". I dont know how to create the link, but doubt if it will work for anyone else anyway. Hopefully someone else can do that to see if it will. By the way, is it a fact that you cannot sell the same types of items on multiple accounts, that is what I was told last week.

Who told you that ?

I have sold the same type of thing on multiple accounts for years now, including a clearance account that eBay upped the limits on when I had linked ??

No thats not the case - unless you are using multiple accounts to get around listing limits or trying to avoid other eBay rules

From the site map: http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/policies/multiple-accounts.html

What are the guidelines?

Allowed

Users may have multiple accounts on eBay. We understand that there are various reasons why someone would choose to have more than one account.

Not allowed

Registering new accounts or using other existing accounts to avoid buying and selling restrictions or limits or other policy consequences.

If it's for 10 days, starting from when you accept the offer, then they don't

usually work unless you received the email, in my experience anyway

when you start a new account you do get a warning saying you are not permitted to sell identical items across both ID's. just change the headings to get around that though.

A bit different to similar types.

I sell books on all my accounts, just not the same ones.

Could you PLEASE PLEASE upload that link

May or maynot work on Non Store ID's

lotsamagsnbags — Sat, 02 May 2015 09:41:03 GMT

As we've all been asking don't tease us! - please post the link in your web bar after you've accepted it.

It may not show you have 150 until you post the first one, then down the bottom it will show 149 left....depending of course when the promo starts. thank you!

As I said earlier, I do not know how to post a link. Unless someone else either does it or shows me how I cant help.

On the other subject, when I asked Ebay to up my limit I tried to explain I wanted to get a new user ID established with some good feedback and then convert it to a store. I literally have 1000's of items to list of all sorts but the Customer service? rep simply told me I could not do it, I was breaking Ebay rules and he threatened to suspend my accounts. I went straight back to my new ID and cancelled all of the 30 listings I had started for fear of losing the lot. I really dont know where I stand with it now.

If you click on the link to accept the Free Listings copy the address that shows up at the top of the page showing the link should be something like 150 Free Listings and 4 digit number then paste this link to a message on thsi post.

Hope this makes sense and thanks once again for the head up re the Freebies greatly apprecaited

I am not sure what three free listings has to do with it ? I don't get them on any account as some of my IDs are listed as business accounts, so I do not have access to the relists even on my personal accounts as my accounts are linked, including a number where I sell similar types of goods.

If you want to list similar types of goods on a second selling account and are not confident based on your prior conversation with that eBay representative - ring again and request to speak to supervisor as you believe you may have been told incorrect information.

As long as you do not list IDENTICAL items or do not have very restrictive selling limits on your existing seller ID, I think it is worth a second go to get the correct information.

It is strictly invitation only, as was mentioned by the OP when they tried to accept it on their main selling account. If they couldn't get it to work on their own account due to it being strictly invitation only, then it's not going to work for anyone else. Invitation only means invitation only. You have to get the email attached to that account. No email, no freebies.
