If it's the same as the one I got on my selling ID there are three things wrong with it

1) It's only free for listing made after the first 100 in the qualifying period.

2) The qualifying period is 14th to 27th July, so the email is very very late.

3) The offer is clearly very confusing (as shown by your post).

Also don't confuse Buy It Now with Fixed Price listings.

You need to select the Fixed price tab in the listing.

H Kopes, can you explain that fo me? I use BIN, is it charged differently for Fixed Price if you have a store??

Hi koala, sorry I don't know much about stores, but my post was to clarify in case some were doing auction format with a BIN rather than Fixed price only.

Made sense to me.

I won't qualify, though. I don't list that much.

Aw, c'mon... You've got a week left to list, say, 150 things and save $2.50!*** Get cracking!

On the ID I received the offer on, I would have nett 70 items at a saving of $3.50. B-)

At least this time they didn't exclude powersellers, businesses and storeholders, as is their wont. But they still ensured us blowins didn't get a lookin.
