Geez, they're being generous, aren't they? Us non store sellers have had heaps of good promotions lately, but for the store sellers, they seem to be missing out due to these over $100 promotions. Seriously, how many stores would have 5,000 over $100 to list? I know there would be a few, but I would guess the majority would be selling under $100.

This seems another kick in the guts for the stores, while in a couple of weeks, the non stores will probably get another 150 free listings again.....for any value.

Yep, it just ain't cricket as they say.

Definitely time for some non-store ID's I think . . . . what a pain

my bet is on a Spring clearance sale on 1/9 for store owners.

That would mean small store owners ( i.e. items under $100) didn't get any offers

at all for August.

If ebay is gunna hand 'em out. It should be fairer than that IMO

Very Very Dissapponted with EBAY.

We pay Store Fees and it would appear Ebay favours Non Store Sellers now

As everyone has mentioned I can't even remember selling an item for $100 or over

No freebies for Store Sellers for over 1 month now

I think they offered Store Sellers previous lisitings eg 5000 > to entice them to list enought items for sale to move up to the next Store level on Ebay.

eg $19.95 per month 200 listings $49.95 per month 500 listings the next level is ridiculous around $500 per month,

ha ha unless you were a huge company who could afford $500 per month... there are some months I would sell no where near this amount

Oh well can't do much about it except maybe add an ID without a store... seems to me now would be more profitable.

non Store Sellers just received 150 free Auction or Fixed Price items finished on 24th August

Why is it that Store Sellers have a precentage of Aution Items instead of BIN ( not including collectibles of course )

Does anybody know why this is ?

gee way to go ebay..

ive been thinking about opening a store over the past few months. but if this is the way store holders get treated then ill stay as non store.

here is a thought ebay. why not just scrape the listing fee's altogether ? im sure ebay would survive on fvf & postage fee's.

maybe then everyone would list more and everyone is a winner.

as it is i only list with free listings like most others. the more products listed the more sales, the more sales the more fvf ebay collects.

just make it free to list and let this site move back towards what it once was. a success for ebay & a success to sellers & buyers.

Shouldn't have to - it's called reading the T & Cs.

Or even just reading this thread would have been a pointer

towards who's complaining.

Hi I accepted the offer from Ebay & discovered that it's for items over $100 or for Fixed Price format items @ any price - I've been listing books all afternoon for free. This is what the T & Cs state: 5000 free Insertion Fees for: ◦First 5000 Items listed for $100 or more ◦Items listed during the Promotion Period in Fixed Price format (including Good ‘til Cancelled listings created during the Promotion Period) on eBay.com.au (see exclusions below). So accept & start listing in Fixed Price format. Hope this helps!

Yes the promotion set up is broken - lol

All buy-it-now listings are coming off the promo tally no matter what price
