i came on the boards to post abou this very issue. I don't think i want to bother with this one, its too confusing & seems like maybe a sneaky attempt to trick sellers into listing more than they get for free then end up paying listing fees.

 

In the link for the T&C http://sellercentre.ebay.com.au/promo/5520 it says under 'what is the promotion?' ..'If you do not list 100 items per day, the number of free insertion fees will not rollover and will be forfeited. The number of eligible listings will refresh daily..'

What that means is, you are getting 100 free listings a day. If today you only list 80, you would have 20 left. If you don't use them, tomorrow you'll have 100 new free listings, not 120. Therefore, you forfeit them, as in lose them. Tomorrow is a new day, just like every day life. You can't go back to yesterday.

 

The only way you'll end up paying fees is if you have 1,000 active listings in 4 weeks when the promo ends and they auto relist. As long as you stop them relisting when the promo ends, you won't pay any extra fees apart from FVF's.

 

See, it's not that confusing after all! Your loss if you don't take advantage of it. Everyone was complaining the free listing promotions stopped. They give us one and now people don't want to use it.

Where do you get this from?  There's nothing in the terms to say they can't auto relist in the normal way, which means you could put them all on 30 days and have 3,100 listings running for the next 160 days (if you have no listing limits).  Or you could run 100 x 1-day auctions each day for the next month and change them to 30 days BIN on the last day.  If you put them on 1-day auctions that AR, you could do 400 x 1-day auctions over 4 days, and have them continue to run all month, then the next month on 30 days.

Nice to have them but I'm unlikely to use any of them.
