If you read the terms and conditions it says for Super Sunday for one day only most confusing. So is it valid only this Sunday or for ever?????????

This is the link for anyone who wants to try it. Just be aware that in the terms and conditions it says you have to list on Sunday and the heading across the top says Super Sunday - but it ain't Sunday yet!

The date showing after I accepted it was still 31/12/2099 for the end date but the terms do say they can withdraw the offer at any time, so check your fees when you're listing.

Well for me it says for 1 day only, but says up until 31/12/99 23:59:59, and still says that when I accept it. I've done 3 listings on it and it came off the $1 offer as it usually does (on a Sunday).

It's my understanding, confirmed in a call to ebay this morning, that (despite the use of the words "List as many items for free" in the Promo offer on My Ebay), you still have to pay the insertion fees.

The T&C state, inter alia, "The promotion does not apply to Insertion Fees".

I have read the promotions T & C's and No where can i see it says Listing Fees apply. Also if they apply it must be False Advertising as List for Free in the Promotion means no Listing Fees surely.

The promo offer in My Ebay says:

1 Day Only: Pay $1 When you Sell!

List as many items for free & only pay $1 in Final Value Fees per item. Learn More

The T&C states

What is the promotion?

Pay a maximum of $1 in Final Value Fees for any items you list and make available for purchase in a single category during the Promotion Period (see exclusions below).
Final Value Fees are the selling fees charged on sale of an item, calculated as a percentage of your total sale price. The promotion does not apply to Insertion Fees, fees for optional features or upgrades or any other fees that may be applicable.

The embolding is mine.

I was confused by the seeming contradiction, so I rang ebay, and they (she) confirmed that Insertion Fees do apply.

queenslander-two — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 22:07:24 GMT

So It's Clearly a Case of False advertising on Ebays behalf if they charge you Fees regardless of what some of the T & C's say. The offer states List as Many items for Free and Pay a Max $1 before you accept. So they have changed the promotion Offer after you have accepted.

1 Day Only: Pay $1 When you Sell!

List as many items for free and only pay $1 in Final Value Fees per item

pnc75 — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 22:13:12 GMT

Re: $i listings

joztamps — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 22:19:03 GMT

Are either of you still using your 40 monthly freebies?

PS, not tring to quibble, because if the insertion fees are free, I want to use the promo.

Re: $i listings

wendymac54 — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 22:22:59 GMT

I have a couple left on my 40 free but there not coming off that.

Re: $i listings

joztamps — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 22:32:50 GMT

Thank you, that's good news.

Re: $i listings

pnc75 — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 22:51:06 GMT

Same here. I have lots left, but today's listings didn't come off that.

Today IS Friday, so anything can happen.

kopenhagen5 — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 23:13:08 GMT

Is it possible they come off the regular freebies and then no FVF's ?

I know these promo's don't include extras in listing fees, subtitle, additional category, etc.

Re: $i listings

loveofstuff — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 23:34:56 GMT

So ebay chat just said this:

I am sorry this a technical issue and it is already raised to our technical team and once we receive any update from them then we will update you about the offer

and this

Yes please I request you to wait for sometime before using the offer

SOUNDS LIKE THEY STUFFED UP
