Didnt work for me when first posted, ( got the "offer expired" message ) but worked today thanks. Starts for me on the 20th, ending 29th. It pays to keep trying if you get the expired message as different sellers seem to be on a different rotation regards dates with this offer.
As always many thanks Dot for sharing.....
I know someone who gets 2664 every month on one ID but not the other. She gets the free relists on both IDs and she sells a lot more on the ID that gets the 2664 offer. She has two selling IDs and has never had a store.
She sells for a few months and then takes a month or two off, but so far still gets 2664, so if it drops off due to lack of sales they obviously don't base it on the last month alone. Last time she listed she hardly sold anything (she reduced a lot of prices to clear stock and usually gets lots of sales when she does that so we think it's due to appalling category changes) so she's wondering whether she'll continue to get 2664 much longer.
One thing she does is always accept extra offers, even if she doesn't plan to use them. I don't know whether that makes any difference but we both thought that perhaps ebay will stop giving them to us if we don't use some of them. They could track how many people accept them but never use them, but there's no way we'll ever know. I'm guilty of not using a lot of the extra freebies, and even of the 40 on one ID, but while my main ID is busy I see no point in pushing myself to list much on the other ID.
I think trying to analyse some of ebay's actions might be a waste of time because they don't seem to be consistent in a lot of things, but I too can't help doing it.

I have managed to get the offer every month except one month when I had not used many of my 40 regular freebies.
This month I delibrately relisted a few items and used some of my 40 freebies a couple of days before I thought I would be eligable for 2664 so that the account had some recent listing activity. This seemed to work as I still have 27 of the 40 regular freebies left, but again was fortunate to be able to activate 2664.
When I recieve this offer I always use the whole lot, either for listing reasonable numbers of new listings and also relisting unsold items. My monthly sales are above the threshold to recieve the 3 free relists, although they are down around 25% this month on the normal average. I plan to do around 50 - 60 new listings in the next week or so including auctions and would expect a number of these to sell. I have had some good results ending auctions on the days between christmas and new year in the past, so will be fully listed and active over this period.
