Gee thanks eBay 20-10-2014 Promotion for Stores

mbselections00 — Mon, 20 Oct 2014 04:40:09 GMT

Just received an email Promotional Offer - thought pity I don't sell items worth over $100 - but take note of *

IT'S TIME TO SAVE WHEN YOU SELL

List an item over $100 or more and save 15% off your final value fees.

Take Up Offer ►

*Other fees may apply. See full T&Cs.

When?

The Promotion runs from 20 October 2014 to 24 October 2014 AEST ("Promotion Period").

What is the Promotion?

15% off the final value fee for:

◦Items listed and sold for $100 or more, where

◦Items listed during the Promotion Period in Fixed Price or Auction format on eBay.com.au. *

Who is eligible for this Promotion?

Only store members are eligible

http://sellercentre.ebay.com.au/promo/2079

This place really does my head in :- I thought that specification * may explain why I noticed on my invoice today, that last month I received several FVF discounts on items that sold for less than $100 but were Fixed Price, as I had taken up the offer and used it (I thought) for one custom made order listing.

So I figured, perhaps all this time I have been mis-interpreting the conditions (and I think, so have a lot of other small value item sellers), so I try to accept the Offer - click the Link in the email they sent me - uh uh, NO, I do not qualify !?!

Unfortunately, this promotional offer isn't available to you.

Maybe I should go away and come back later - because nothing much seems to be working here at the moment

Good luck to those who are able to take advantage of it !

Not working for me either despite the fact that I received an email specifically inviting me.

Yeah, I just did live chat with CS, they said has already been escalated so maybe keep trying

Totally useless for us.

Even if you bought 10x of our items we would struggle to make $100.

So we just trashed that invite.

Same for me.
I got the offer emailed directly, but it says I am not eligible.
Go figure

I contacted C&S and they said there was a 'site problem' which they are fixing.
I told them I was ready to list, but the offer wasn't working.
I will try again later.

Wow, suprise suprise, they've done it again then - stoofed up

I totally get what everyone's saying, I don't have anything anywhere near $100 listed either, but have been very lucky on the two occasions where I have been working on big custom orders this offer just happened to be available at the right time - so those occasions taught me to always take up the offers because you just never know what's around the corner

Plus, the other point I was trying to make, I think because I had in fact accepted the offer, I somehow managed to get the discount off FVF's for items under $100 that I listed during that period as well - again - go figure . . . . obviously 15% off 9.?% fvf's on low value items doesn't amount to much, a few cents, but as they say never look a gift horse in the mouth ! (What a crazy saying !) and better in our pockets than theirs

So, worth accepting regardless I reckon, just on the off chance

I wonder will they extend it to make up for lost time with it not working ? And pigs might fly !!

Same here. When I checked the last invoice we had FVF discounts on items that were less than $20 but they may have been listed during the offer in September when there was no min value to be eligible.

Can somebody smart interpret this for me ???? The link is now working... and so is ebays obfuscation

I just sold a book for $350 but stupidly did not think of the ebay promotion until after I accepted the offer......doh.....

I read the terms and conditions and it appears "where" there is a "where" .....the cupboard is bare.... maybe I could add in

"Items listed and sold for $100 or more, where you accepted the offer after you sold the item ... and nobody will notice

that sounds awesome to me

What is the Promotion?

15% off the final value fee for:
Items listed and sold for $100 or more, where
Items listed during the Promotion Period in Fixed Price or Auction format on eBay.com.au
