It always pays to read the terms and conditions of the offer before you accept it.  They vary a bit but the t&c's for the next lot of weekend listings that start tomorrow say this:

 

Pay a maximum of $1 in Final Value Fees.  They actually charge $1.10 because GST is extra to the $1.

No.  They only charge UP TO $1 plus GST, it's like a capped amount

It depends on the particular promo. I know that last weekend's specifically stated pay $1. Not up to.

 

I've certainly been hit with $1(.10) for sales that would attract less than that normally.

NO  if you agree to list and pay $1 fianl fees   they Will charge you $1  + ( GST if applicaple )  so $1.10           even if the item sold for 50c 

 

it was the agreement you made when accepting the $1 final fee listing

I just went to list an item using this promotion. The only duration option is Good 'Til Cancelled. 30 days has been removed. As items are automatically re-listed at 30 days this promotion only runs for items sold within 30 days, if your item runs over you end up paying full final value fees. Another sneeky eBay trick, so watch out.

"Good ‘Til Cancelled listings created during the Promotion Period will be eligible for the promotion only until the listing automatically re-lists".

My invoice begs to differ - I actually have evidence rather than guessing

Oh look, I actually read the fine print (unlike you)

Here is the T&C's:

Note the word MAXIMUM

 

 

  • Pay a maximum of $1 in Final Value Fees for any items you list and make available for purchase in a single category during the Promotion Period (see exclusions below). 
  • Final Value Fees are the selling fees charged on sale of an item, calculated as a percentage of your total sale price.  The promotion does not apply to fees for optional features or upgrades or any other fees that may be applicable. Learn more about eBay fees.
  • All www.ebay.com.au members are eligible to participate in this offer.

Yep. I nearly got caught with that too.
