Fast 'n' FREE -- Why don't we qualify

It seems to us that our listings meet all the criteria below, but still none of them are showing the Fast 'n' FREE badge.

 

Anyone got any clues what we could be missing to stop this badge?

 

This is affecting both our stores.

 

 

The eBay Fast 'N Free logo appears on listings when all the following conditions are met:

  • Both the buyer and the item are located within an Australian postcode (excluding Lord Howe Island NSW 2898, Norfolk Island NSW 2899, Christmas Island WA 6798, Cocos Keeling Islands WA 6799, Australian Antarctic Territories TAS 7151)

  • The seller is an eBay Top Rated Seller

  • The listing offers free postage

  • Based on the seller and buyer postcodes, eBay can estimate with a high level of confidence that the item will be delivered within four business days

  • The listing isn’t in Classified Ad format

  • On eBay Motors, eBay Fast 'N Free will only be used for listings in the Parts & Accessories category.

Generally listings with free postage and either same business day or one business day handling will qualify for Fast ‘N Free if we can estimate with a high level of confidence, based on the seller’s and buyer’s postcodes, that the item will be delivered within four business days.

No Fast'n'Free is NOT a courier company in Australia.

 

It is a delivery system dreamed up by ebay.

 

Please do not drag up old threads....this one deserves a decent burial after all these years.

Five years on...

Fast 'n' Free is just eBay's way of trying to force (scam) eBay sellers into offering free postage (which in turn just inflates the prices as everyone puts the postage in the item itself, but that means $$$$$ to eBay once people start charging postage again on the inflated prices) and a fast handling time e.g. same or next day postage. I did that on a couple of items and they showed up as Fast 'n' Free - offering Express Post (free or not) is not required for the (pointless) little stamp near your username. Offering "free" postage may (or may not) help your item stay below page 500 in Best Match, but given that Best Match is rigged anyway (due to the "lights on/off" rule and now the bribe-eBay-to-push-up-your-itmes Promoted Listings) it really doesn't make a difference.
