Not so far - of course not on this ID, but not on hubby's either.

Interesting, on top of the promo last month. I can't help but wonder if they have realised they may have lost too many small sellers ?

While it is always nice to see Sellers getting something back, I'd like to see Stores get a little more, given that we pay monthly fees. But hey, that's just my opinion of course, I know there are many who disagree . . . . . . .

Edit : I hasten to add, since taking up the promo offer last month, I don't think we've had a single sale

I agree, stores should get some eBay offerings.

I haven't received that promo. I'll be surprised if I see any promos over the next few months given I got the last 2 big ones.

I had a huge month (by my standards) last month with the unlimited promo. I was kind of glad when it was over because I needed to have a breather! I posted the last of my promo parcels yesterday and breathed a sigh of relief as there were no bids on any of my accounts. Finally some time to take a breath! Now it's started again. Thankfully they don't finish for 4 and 5 days respectively, so still got a little bit of peace for now.

I know I should be grateful given so many others are doing it tough, but I was having trouble keeping up. Between work and eBay I had very little time for anything else.

Hopefully things pick up for you soon!

Thanks tippy, I've never seen it so dead. Nothing selling on any of 3 accounts. I always expect if one is doing ok, the others will suffer and that is usually how the cookie crumbles, but lately (well for a couple of weeks now) nothing - anywhere !! And as is always the case, very quiet with my work too - seems I'll be on rations for a while

Glad to hear the promo went so well for you though, but I do understand how it can be hard to juggle a job and eBay when you're busy here

I'm fairly happy with the doubled free listing quantity until October, but I'd be ecstatic if they ran the promotions manager FVF one again (just in case eBay are watching).

I thought I would be too digi, but since having doubled my listings sales have come to a grinding halt - I can't figure it out

Mine are proceeding apace.

Although I don't change my listing routine to cater to eBay's whims.

I list 2 per day. As I have pushing 1400 listings, the increased included listings certainly reduce my fees; and haven't yet have any impact on sales.

So far I've just been using the extras to list some clearance stuff, as I get around to it (which is in a painfully slow manner 😮 ) so I've actually only just gone over the old limit, but I do often find that listing new items seems to slow things down for a little while. You'd think the opposite would happen (presuming the older listings were getting traffic / activity and so will the new listings), but it's almost like the entire store's listings get re-indexed when new stuff goes up. o_O

I'm not sure if it's been the same for you, but winter has always been my slowest times, as well - in previous years, June and July tend to be around half my normal sales, so jewellery is kind of seasonal, in that even though you can wear it any time, winter clothing can make it a bit futile unless it's things like sweater necklaces or earrings (ones you don't need to wear your hair up to show off, maybe 🙂 ), (my sales to the US have increased a little recently, though, and it's summer over there, which tends to lend a little credence to that theory).

What Double Free Listings how do you Get those?

It's a temporary bonus for store subscribers, so the basic store gets 400 free listings instead of 200, and featured gets 1000 instead of 500, up until October (the same limitations apply, i.e. BIN only unless in a collectable category, anchored stores have unlimited freebies, so it doesn't do much for them).

I actually managed to use all 400 last month just listing items I have not been able to list every month because it's not viable for me to pay listing fees on the low value items. And because this month is shaping up to be slower work wise with my other job, I'm hoping to get some new items listed and items I haven't listed in ages, I just wasn't very well prepared last month (am I ever ?!).

I totally agree with your comment I do often find that listing new items seems to slow things down for a little while. You'd think the opposite would happen - I have often thought the same thing, but figured that really doesn't make sense to me, I would think the more you have listed the better your chances of appearing in search results - but I guess on the other hand, the new items have no history.

Oh my, I looked at the figures for the last 2 years and I wish I hadn't !! Compared to May in previous years, this year is down to about 20% of 2014 and down 50% on last year. You are correct though, June & July have not been big selling months for me over the past couple of years, so I hope the trend from May doesn't continue, if it does, I might as well not be here

woo hoo!

My PINK camera sold for $350 today so I qualify for a $75 eBay voucher. That effectively is like selling it for $425 while only paying fees on $350. I'm now glad it took eleven relists for it to sell.

I'm going to send the buyer something extra for paying that price.

Yep, got two out of 3 three accounts. Have already received a $25.00 voucher to spend! Woohoo!

Is there a link for this one? thankyou

k1ooo-slr-sales — Mon, 06 Jun 2016 06:46:00 GMT

this offer was sent via email to my registered email address for this ID. There was no activation link or anything like that, so there is no link for others to get this offer . . . . . you either got the email or you didn't. Nowhere does it say in the email that it is open to every eBay member, which sucks in my opinion.

I just got off the phone to eBay and they confirmed that I am eligible because my sales during the promotion period (2 June - 30 June) will be over $100, and that my $350 sale on Saturday qualifies me for a $75 eBay voucher that will arrive in my eBay account on 11 July as stated in the email.

Hi anyone got this voucher today? I qualified but no voucher received yet.

k1ooo-slr-sales — Mon, 11 Jul 2016 09:43:33 GMT

I haven't got my voucher yet, but I am guessing it may come on USA time which would be tomorrow.

Nothing to be gained by contacting eBay at this point, better to wait a few days and then contact them if it hasn't arrived.

Let's hope it is not going to be like the $50 vouchers that were supposed to arrive on the 8th.

I have only heard of one being delivered so far.
