No $1 SUNDAY today???

bubblebooks2020 — Sat, 14 Apr 2018 14:54:37 GMT

Has the $1 Sunday promo finished? It is always on my ebay at exactly midnight, but not tonight

Well it has been going since November or December, so I guess it has to end sooner or later.

I contacted CS via chat and asked why I wasn't getting the email to activate it and was told I could list my items and any that sell request a Credit.

contact CS via chat (so you'll get a copy of the chat transcript as evidence) and mention you heard it on the radio and ask if you can list items and request a credit for any that sell.

Totally agree!

And what about the listing fees? Will they credit them too?

Just chatted to a rep via live chat - was informed that the offer is over. Marketing department is working on it. I think we can kiss Super Sunday Good Bye. There was no mention of asking for credit refunds for listing on Sunday without the offer.

Spoke to Live chat via messages - not too much help - felt that the promotion was over, then I spoke to Ebay Customer Help via phone - they will honour listings listed today - get onto the phone to discuss with them and they will make a note to honour promotion. If you are pinged for fees - then you will need to get your final valuation fees amended.

It just vanished for me too.

I am so angry at myself for trusting it would stay.

I didn't start using it straight away because i didn't want to rely on it. But it seemed to be going on and on so I caved in.

I have listed so many things and if we don't get it back or some other promotional free listings I will lose at least two thirds of the items I have put on.

Why do they do this.?

I wish they would give the time limit on all those promotions so that you can judge if it's going to be worthwhile.

But, if you had sold any, you wouldn't 'lose' them.

These promos are only really any good if you actually make sales.

maybe we need to delist everything at the end of our 30 day listing period (for buy it nows)

maybe seeing thousands of items being removed all on the same day would wake up the minions.

That's right.

The FVF doesn't affect me much as most of my items sell for under $10, but I think of them as a chance to list more than my 40 free items per month.

Hopefully many of them will sell before the 3 free re-lists have ended.

I'm sure Ebay will have another offer soon, eg no fees for 24 hours or something similar, it's just not as easy to plan ahead for.

I'm surprised it ran as long as it did - really surprised! I didn't use it as much as I could have but I was doing other things. I sold a few expensive items so I'm happy.

Again, the $1 sunday isn't working for me. Can anyone confirm that it has officially ended? Saw some comments saying that it's back this week

One of the reasons they might do it is to encourage you to take up a store subscription. My non store account recieved the 150 freebies offers month after month. It was great and I was sellimg heaps. Then it just stopped. No warning. Every other seller was coming to the boards with posts about offers and getting freebies and I couldnt get them for love or money.

So I opened another store. It has worked out really well with good ongoing sales. Wouldnt have happened though if ebay had not turned the freebie tap off.
