Re invitation.

 

I get the doubts due to the inconsistent terms and conditions with the actual process of successfully accessing free listings, but tierd of the furphy creation around these offers and the active discouragement of sellers to use them - rather than encouraging sellers to clarify with eBay CS re doubts about eligibility. 

 

IMO - you get access to free listings, or you don't. 

 

If you click the link you accept the offer OR you are advised the promotional offer is not available to you. 

 

If you get the freebies they appear under your promos on your selling page.

 

These offers have always been run like this for the past couple of years.

 

If sellers are unsure IMO you are better off to ring CS to confirm the offer they accepted is available to them, rather than rely on board naysayers and pass them up .

No Banner ads for me either. I find sometimes I get the banners, sometimes I dont. I have always tried the links that people post and most times ( including today, thanks OP  ) they work. I cant see why people would have concerns about accepting the offers as I have never experienced or heard of anyone else experiencing problems from the offers. I rarely read the terms now as like you I figure one of two things will happen. "Its gonna work, or it aint"
