Has anyone who initially recieved the " Invitation only" message managed to access the link at a later date ????

Just a suggestion as to how it may work -

My guess is that the offer is only available to some sellers who meet some mysterious defined criteria that ebay has devised. These sellers may be able to access the offer every 30 days on a rolling basis, if they still meet the hidden criteria. ( some may drop out of the defined criteria over 30 days and may no longer be eligable )

These eligable sellers could be recieving the " offer expired " message until their rolling 30 days is up at which point the offer becomes active again.

Those who recieve the "invitation only" message may not meet the hidden criteria and will not be able to access the offer until their circumstances change and over a 30 day period they meet the criteria.

 This may take months and for some may never occur.

I mentioned a theory in another previous thread on the subject that the offer may be designed for those sellers who dont recieve the 3 free relists due to sales exceeding a certain threshold ( around $10,000 - $12,000 per year ) , but another experienced seller presented some contrary advice on this.

If the theory where to stand it would explain a lot, as it would compensate those with good sales from being disadvantaged by not recieving the three free relists. Of couse ebay could change the criteria of the offer for a short period to also target new sellers, or those who had made many purchases, but never sold, just as a once off promotion, further muddying the waters for those interested in how this offer actually works.

Does anyone who recieves the 3 free relists also have access to this offer on a regular basis ?
