Specific information about this Promotion
What's it all about?
Get 80% off variable percentage final value fees ("FVF") per listing in final value fees if the item sells and pay no insertion fee.
A fixed order level fee of 30p and other fees, including any International fees, still apply.
Promotion is valid for up to 100 listings on eBay.
Listings must start during the promotional period.
Listings can be auction-style or fixed price format.
The promotion start and end dates are included in the email we send to invited sellers.
Items must sell within the first listing period.
Sounds good, where do I find the promotion and how do I sign up?
You can take part in the promotion on eBay.co.uk. Eligible sellers will receive an email with the RSVP link to the offer. You must opt in to the promotion by clicking on this link before any of your 100 listings start.
Anything else I need to know?
eBay charge an FVF when your item(s) sell(s). The FVF charged per order consists of: (i) a variable portion (“Variable Portion FVF”) which is calculated as a percentage of the Total Sale Amount; and (ii) a fixed portion (“Fixed Portion FVF”) for example 30p. The Total Sale Amount means the amount the buyer pays for an order, including the item price, postage, taxes and any other applicable fees.
The FVF Discount in this promotion applies to the Variable Portion FVF (net of any other discounts) in respect of the eligible items’ Total Sale Amounts. For example, if you would have been charged 12.80% on the Total Sales Amount, the 80% FVF discount will reduce this to 2.56%. The Fixed Portion FVF (e.g. 30p) will not be discounted. Therefore, the fixed charge of 30p per order will still apply.
You won't pay an insertion fee for each of the 100 listings. Listing upgrade fees will still apply and will be charged according to the eBay fees policy.
You may also be subject to International fees.

sorted byRelisting is perfectly okay, I use it all the time and have done for years. It’s only automatic relists that are invalid.
You can Relist or Sell Similar (which is basically a new listing) and it'll save all the faffing around with C&P. (edited)
That is actually wrong!
OK, if you let a listed item run it's course and it AUTO-RELISTS (as all items will if you let them), then yes, the seller will get hit with the full FVF.
If the seller ends an item though and relists it OR relists a previously ended item from the Unsold Items after accepting the offer AND while the promo is active (Feb 11th -15th IIRC in this case), then the seller will only pay the promotional 2.56% + 30p instead of full FVF of 12.8% + 30p.
Sell Similar is also an option of course, but it will create a brand new listing of the old item.
This is OK if you want your item to appear fresh instead of appearing stale after being relisted several times.
BUT, when a seller relists, an ended item, that old item will display a message stating "This item has been relisted" (or words to that effect), with a link to the relisted item.
This comes in handy if you have a lot of watchers who may still be interested, but are waiting for payday, an offer or a price reduction . (edited)
That’s why I’d recommend selecting ‘ Require Pay immediately’ for every listing.
I cancel listings and then use the relist option whenever these offers come up and only ever get charged the reduced rate. Might be worth you "testing" the relist option on one low value item in case it saves you some time
Relisting will incur full selling charges, sell similar is the best and easiest way way
Just looked at the terms, I see something about trainers and car parts. That's it. So I think we are still okay for most things.
EBay is very scummy I'm not at all surprised
Not true
yeah it's strange. but also my selling on eBay has been stupidly slow on eBay for the past 3 weeks. so I guess it's for eBay to generate some traffic.
I'm guessing once people are listing on eBay there also quite likely to buy on eBay aswell. (I definitely am guilty of this)
someone made a good point the other week. which rang true for me.
when it used to be PayPal. id always class it as pocket money, and generally spend my money back on eBay, now everyone gets paid via managed payments to there bank, I don't have that intensive or instinct to just spend it on just eBay.
Relisting works fine for me
Relist works fine
Annoying they are so big as they don't give 2 hoots about you or I. Even when they make mistakes and create bugs by fiddling around with stuff, they quietly hush it under the carpet, taking an extremely long time to make a public announcement, if at all. Some of these bugs will often hit us business sellers like recently where you couldn't send offers to watchers. No apologies, nothing from them.
On the whole I have a good experience, but one in a hundred is a buyer who tries to scam me. So now I record a detailed video of each item, show the packaging and if it's over £500 then it's collection only. Sometimes if you accept the return, they just never send it back, but you still have to wait a month to get your money back. If it's an item I know they can easily claim it doesn't work and they can damage, I just list as "not working and just say I haven't tested it even though I know it's fine.
Excludes men’s and women’s trainers (in the T&Cs) as there’s a separate concurrent promo for that category.
Good advise for everyone who clicks accept but doesn't actually read the terms and conditions..
This is not helpful. it is wrong.
That’ll be it, T&C’s say only single quantity listings are eligible.
If I’ve sold multiples before I’ve just changed the title, description and price a little so that it doesn’t detect that it’s two identical items.
Until 11:59 today to list- normally these offers end Monday but this one is today.
Correct as that’s what I use and it works, relisting doesn’t.
Yes the international fees are not discounted on these offers, so for Europe it's 1.26% North America it's 2.16% and the rest of the world's it's 2.4% on top of the 2.56% plus 30p, so fees can be nearly double what's expected if you get an internationally registered buyer.
On whether relisting is included, yes manually relisting an item is fine to qualify for the offer if done during the promotion period, automatic eBay relisting is not however. So cancel and relist yourself during the offer window, don't let it end and get automatically relisted though. (edited)
Report the phone as stolen (assuming you have proof or purchase) and you could have it blocked.
Inform the scammer that the police will be involved in the odd chance he made a mistake and sent back the wrong item....
Just start by the 15th if auction or BIN
The claim would be with the postal service for the value of the lost/missing/swapped item as it was not what you posted so must have happened in transit (if the buyer is telling the truth - but that is not your problem). I have done this before. (edited)
The 2.5% one is for trainers which was an exclusion in the 80% one that finishes today
Remove it from sale, wait for an offer & relist it then
Definitely not true. I've cancelled hundreds of listings and relisted them for these selling promotions and have never ever incurred full selling charges on any that have then sold.
or maybe just read the terms that no one has ever read? This is no different than paying a foreign transaction fee when you use a credit card abroad - most charge 2-3%, eBay charges 1% to convert into £ from whatever the buyer uses (and again, no different that sending money abroad). So quick to blame someone else and expect spoon feeding.
If it happens every week, maybe you have unrealistic expectations of condition of items you buy or you don't keep your feedbacks factual? Currently, Feedback system definitely only favours buyers not sellers
They seem to pop up every few months 80% off is better for items £50 or below. I try to avoid selling high value items on eBay better selling local for cash
Exactly what I've been saying since going on to Managed Payments last year some time and I've heard so many other people say the same.
It certainly does work. I have done it for years.
