No, P5OFF is a sitewide ebay discount.
I had a storewide markdown sale running at 15% off which ended saturday. Tried to start a new sale but only 90 items were included out of 5800+ due to recently listed, recently on sale, etc. Most likely they will kick back in in 7 days time.
It is only recently that ebay changed it so that all items could be included. Prior to that you had to setup several sales with only up to 500 items in each.
In the meantime I tried setting up a sitewide discount of an extra 15% off but wanted to exclude items that were already on sale but there is no way to do that selection rule despite it being available in the old retired markdown manager.
Then I tried setting up several smaller 15% discount sales by choosing up to 500 items (the max allowed) and deliberately not selecting items that were already on sale but since the main new sale will most likely be in full swing within 7 days, I only wanted to run the extra 15% discount for 7 days so there was no poxxibility of both discounts being applied to the same item but in ebay's infinite marketing wisdom it is not possible to run it for only 7 days. It must be set at 30 days minimum and 45 days maximum.
So if anyone wanted to run an extra % discount over a weekend such as Easter or some other special occasion, that too is not possible.
The end result is that I will need to wait 7 days before the majority of my items will be marked down and if one sale at a value of $16.35 for the whole of today is anything to go by, it is going to be a bad week.
Thank goodness I also have my own allfixelectrical website which in less than 12 months exceeded our ebay sales volume and now 2 years on is close to double the usual ebay performance.
This site has become nothing more than a pusher for cheap chinese knockoffs and wholesalers & multinationals desperate to sell for 5% above cost.
