I'd like to know how people were invited via Facebook. People use names, not usernames on there, so they wouldn't know who the members were on there.

Maybe it was to anybody who's complained on ebay's facebook page.

or people who are "friends" of eBay on facebook?

or anybody who has "liked" eBay's MBG on facebook?

or anybody who has praised that universally loved eBay feature known as the "defect" on eBay's facebook page?

Spoiler

these are only guesses as I am not familiar with the finer details of facebook as I do not have a facebook account.

They may have sent a facebook private message (if possible) through facebook with a link for facebookers to click and enter their eBay ID so that they can access the offer/invitation.

I hate Facebook.        I got the invite through my ebay page

I opened a facebook account last year but I've got my privacy settings as high as I can get them. I don't do the 'friends' thing and never will, but I participate in a craft group. I would never bother looking at ebay's page on there.

lyndal, dive in the deep end and have a go!  LOL

I got it on another ID and will definitely list some items, especially some higher value items as no final value fees is a great offer.

Once again I feel for store holders . . . . . who also get shafted by not being able to access these offers/promotions unless they have multiple IDs and happen to get the offer on another ID.

Do I really come across as totally crazy?

When I started on ebay I bought a few things with the idea of enjoying them for a few years and then selling them on but over the last little while I have seen so much posted on the boards that I would be very loath the venture into the selling pool now.

whats the point. Nothing here sells anymore.

I've just broke another record going 2 months with absolutely no sales. Its a ghost town.

Many thanks for sharing, no joy here

I have 2 Facebook accounts. One is my personal account under the name of one of my pets. The other belongs to one of my pets. He's got more friends than I do. On my personal account, I rarely post anything. In fact, I rarely check it these days. I spend more time on my pet's account. All it posts are photos of my pets or the occasional update if they've done something out of the ordinary (like scaring the carp out the girl in drive-thru at the local Red Rooster!). A lot of his friends are other animals, so we share photos. Most of the time I use it to access interest groups or support groups (a more recent thing).

I belong to the eBay page on both my accounts. Also the NSW and local police pages as they post some interesting stuff (it's nice to see crimes being solved as a direct result of information posted on their page). A few missing persons pages (which have found a number of missing persons because of those pages). A few pages that deal with the type of pets I have. A couple of support groups to do with Mr Tippy's medical condition. A couple of animal charity pages. A page belonging to an up and coming singer/songwriter that I'm supporting (she's a relative of a member of these forums).

There's also a page that is for former students of my high school. Local what's happening groups. A page that posts historical photos of where I grew up. Some satirical pages to do with my profession. A few local buy swap and sell sites. Friends belong to a multitude of craft groups, music groups, religious groups, recipe groups. You name it, there's a group for it.

I've had a few whinges on the eBay page. Maybe I haven't whinged enough to warrant getting a freebie offer! I might have to rectify that!

I got this offer on another of my IDs so I listed an item for $300 buy-it-now.  I read the T&Cs and it all looks okay.  My item sold on the 30th Sept and I have received a message from the buyer that payment will be made tomorrow.

When I look at my account status it shows as my account having a $29.70 final-value-fee on this item.

I went to the help & contact pages to see if there was any information about promotions and fvf credits.  There are links that take you to a page where you can see what promotion credits are available to you for sold items.

For my sale it shows as "Promotion AU $0.00 or credit AU $0.00".

I have a bad feeling about this promotion based on eBay's incompetence with running promotions in recent months.  There was the "$50 credit if you spend $200" promotion that was very slow to be fulfilled, the "sell2buy $25 per $100 sold" promotion that I posted about on another thread, and last week's "your say $100 voucher" cockup.

I will contact eBay tomorrow and confirm that I am eligible for the "no fvf" promotion on this sale and update this thread after my call.

The spoiler below has screengrabs of the promotion message and the T&Cs for this promotion.
