50% off Final Value Fees Promotion

[i-love-my-sheep]

I got an email yesterday offering 50% discount on FVF's for 3 items. I thought it was for the next 3 items listed, so I listed some higher priced items, but I think now that it's for the next 3 items that sell before the promotion ends on Feb 13 as the counter is still saying 0/3. Bummer!! I have 3 items with bids on and they are low priced items. Oh well. Maybe someone might hit the BIN on something.

Not sure if this offer will work for others or not as it does say email invitation only......but so do the free listing promotions. Here's the link if anyone else wants to try it. Hope it works for you all!!

Edited to add: It's a non store promotion. Sorry shop keepers!!

I tried the link but did not work for me. Invite only.

Thanks

Just tried it on our non-store IDs. And it does not work. Says sorry by invitation only.

Here's the "guff":

Not sure if they've edited it or what, but I've not been rejected, however it instead comes up with the message: "Unfortunately, you can no longer sign up for this promotional offer because it has expired."

Hmmm, that's weird Junk because it goes until 11.59.59pm on Feb 13th. I had a feeling it would be strictly invitation only, but thought I'd still put it out there for others to try, just in case. Sorry that it didn't work for anyone 😞

I'm still shocked that I got one of these invitations!! Shame that at this stage my next 3 sales would normally only attract a FVF of $1. I'm hoping someone hit a BIN on a dearer item. My next auction to finish is a higher priced one and there are 3 watchers, so I'm hoping someone bids at the last minute.

Did you list them after you clicked on the offer as it's only the 3 items that are listed and available for purchase

during the promotion period that qualify for the discount.

The items that are finishing now are not included as you listed them before the promotion period,

[i-love-my-sheep]

No, the next lot of sold auctions were listed before the promotion. Hmmm, maybe I need to change the duration on the ones I listed yesterday as they will finish after the promotion ends I think. I'll go and check that out! Would be pointless listing things yesterday only for them to finish after the promotion ends!!!

I got one of these about a week ago. It was on a banner in my store but it was only for non-stores.  The banner didn't show on my non-store ID.  I had a good read of it anyway and I decided that it didn't matter when the listings ended, so long as they were listed during the promotional period. 

I usually ignore this type of email because the timing is wrong, and often the savings are so small that it's not worth the time spent to juggle my listings to fit.  They have to sell during the current listing cycle, otherwise I've done extra work for nothing.
