Re: Unlimited FREE LISTINGS till 31st May

100% positive feedback and 0 defects here too (not even any late shipment defects! Yet...), but not eligible for any of the last half a dozen promotions (with the exception of the stupid fashion one, which wasn't free listings but capped FVFs at $3, but it only applied to clothing etc. so it was useless to me as I mainly sell games).

lowanacrafts: Are you mixing up listing (insertion) fees with FVFs? It would seem odd if you were being charged insertion fees *after* an item was sold, and after it told you the listing would cost $0.00.

my offer says i only pay final value fees if/when an item sells. nothing about paying a listing fee if/when an item sells.


Of course as usual it didn't work for me when I tried to accept offer, but perhaps people are confusuing FVFees with listing fees - or am I missing something ?

Of course it didn't work for you. You foolishly registered as a business seller. Which, as you know, provides many minuses and no pluses.

Yes that is the way I read it also, if you do sell something, you pay the listing fees. So won't be touching it with a barge pole.

I did get 2 invitations.

 

This is what it says.

Sell your unwanted items in May with no listing fees to pay if your item doesn't sell.

 

My items are low prices also, so wouldn't pay to go for this one. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Your loss. Listing fees are when you LIST an item, not when you sell it. When you sell it you pay FVF's. You still pay FVF's when they sell, but there are NO listing fees for those that are eligible. I listed 20 items tonight and paid $0.00 listing fees.

 

Why would eBay have a promotion where they have unlimited items where every single one is charged a $1.50 listing fee? No-one would use it. It would be pointless. The only time you would pay a listing fee is if you have run out of your normal monthly freebies and you list a multivariation listing.

 

Some people need to learn to read.

Jaffa julie... thats how i read it too. If the item sells your obligated to pay the $1.50 listing fee as well as the comission.
To me it was a confusing add.. pay no listing fees unless the item sells?
Thats how ebay works anyway!
Its not free insertion fees.

Tippytoes, some accounts are restricted to how many items they can list.
From what ive read this is opening the market mainly to restricted sellers, they now can list as many items as they like untill may 26th.
When the item sells they pay the insertion fee and fvf on that item.

Where does it say "sell your unwanted items in May with no listing fees to pay if your item doesn't sell"? I've just looked at the T&C's again and can't see anywhere where that sentence is written. The only time you get charged is as I said before, you list a multivariation listing, or you list in more than one category. What I did see was:

 

What is the Promotion?

 

Pay no Insertion fees on items you list and make available for purchase during the Promotion Period in Fixed Price or Auction-style format on eBay.com.au.

Please show me in the terms and conditions where it says that if the item sells you pay an insertion fee, because I sure as heck can't find it. No insertion fees means no insertion fees, period. Do tell, link or screenshot please.

 

Edit, I have listing restrictions on my accounts. 510 on one, 100 on another and 30 on the newer one. No insertion fees being paid here. Your loss if you don't accept it.
