Fanning a fear fire over freebies.

Prudent is one thing.  Scaremongering another.

On that basis, you'd be violating their terms if you access the freebies through a link in the forums if you haven't receive an email, because it says invitation only and you wouldn't have received an invitation.  I've never heard of anyone hesitating to use it just because they didn't get an email.

Not having a go at anyone, just making an observation that people are reading too much into some of the terms while completely ignoring others. 

  If we all thought it's okay to break the rules just because someone else gets away with it, we'd end up with anarchy

 A direct quote from you englishrosegardens, from another thread

  Just sayin'

 A seller can make up their own minds whether they want to

take up the offer or not

I choose not to, this time....that's all

The 15 free listings and waiving of FVF's last weekend was invitation only. When it was posted on the forums here, everyone who tried to accept got a message saying the didn't qualify as it was invitation only.

It can be - if you take if out of context like you just did

I got the offer on my store ID, I accepted it, I am currently getting free listings.

It is showing on my My eBay page.

I doubt eBay would be willing to incur the scrutiny of the ACCC re false advertising over it.

The onus is on eBay to exclude non-compliant accounts, not for allegedly non-compliant accounts to prove compliance, especially after eBay has accepted the account as compliant
