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.
- The number of listings eligible under this promotion may be less where seller restrictions apply. Click here to learn more about selling allowances.
Who can take part?
- This Promotion is open to all registered Private Sellers who (a) have been invited to take part, (b) are registered to managed payments, and (c) have actively opted in (“Eligible Sellers”). If you have not registered for managed payments you will be prompted to update your details after you opt-in to the Promotion.
- Participation is linked to the seller's account and is not transferable.
- Eligible Sellers’ accounts must meet eBay minimum seller performance standards.
- Please sign in to My eBay and view your seller standards dashboard to verify whether your account is currently meeting the standards. The seller standards dashboard is available to all sellers here.
- If you registered after 15 March 2011 or haven't listed any items for a while, you may have a listing allowance of 10 items per month or of £650 per month, whichever is reached first. You may be able to increase this allowance by providing additional verification.
- An eligible item previously scheduled to go live during the promotional period will qualify for the promotion only if you have opted in to the promotion before the listing starts.
- If an item that is eligible for the promotion had previously closed without a successful sale and is re-listed during the promotion period, it will form a part of the 100 listings limit of the promotion.
- You will not receive a refund of your original insertion fee if the item sells.
- Listings do not have to successfully sell during the promotional period to be eligible.
- If an item qualifies for the promotion and when the item sells, the invoice will indicate the fee including the discount. Please note: if the item does not sell the first time and if you relist it after the promotional period or if it is automatically relisted during the promotional period, standard final value fees will be charged according to the eBay fees policy when the relisted item sells.
- Items that are automatically relisted through the Automatic relist function or the Good 'Till Cancelled function will be charged.
- Only single quantity listings are eligible.
- For items listed in 2 or more categories, only the insertion fee for the first category is included. Standard insertion fees will be charged for listing the same item for each additional category, according to the eBay fees policy.
- Free listings in this promotion do not count towards your monthly 1000 free listings.
- Your first listing period may vary and is dependent on the listing format you choose (e.g. – auction-style vs buy-it-now), the duration of the listing you choose and the listing experience you use. The first listing period will be considered to have been ended when the listing you create first renews or relists.

That one is the dogs danglies.
Do I have to have the item online in that time frame? (23-26.02) or does it have to be online AND sold in that time frame?
Thanks
Yes I accepted FvF offer.
Yesterday I was shopping for an electrical item, sorted the search results by price, and all the cheapest options were people selling the box of the item as a variation (variations that should normally be sizes or colours) just so they get their item listed first.
I had to go though and check maybe a hundred listing before I found one that was just the item at the lowest price.
This now makes ebay look like the dodgiest marketplace there is, saturated with sellers who think customers are morons.
Personally I think ebay should punish sellers who manipulate search results like this, but ebay profit from it so they won't. Dodgy from top to bottom.
There, I've finally had my rant about. It's Amazon for me now.
No for me and don't think the 70% one has been posted yet? (edited)
Over 800 items sold over the past 2 years, I’ve saved an absolute fortune with this every fortnight
All personal possessions from my garage and attic obviously incase HMRC are looking in
Last item I sold on ebay was collected in person at my home and ebay still charged me some kind of postage admin fee.
When I had a chat with their customer service and asked why they charged me for a service they didn't provide, the unprofessional CS rep basically told me to pound sand and then cut me off.
Balls to ebay.
The only change is that HMRC is now asking online platforms, like eBay, to share information with them. This reporting doesn’t change your tax obligations, and only happens under these new rules when you pass one of their thresholds: Your sales are over £1,740 in a year (after fees); or You complete more than 30 sales in a year.
If you’re unsure about whether you need to pay tax for your sales, find out more here. (edited)
Can I use the offers?
I did try to get that 100% Ebay deal. I wonder if it was because of that?
I used to opt in to every offer, on the off chance I might have something to sell.
Now I have something to sell, I haven't been eligible for a single promotion in months
I currently have the 100 percent fee free deal activated on both my accounts..... But I will be checking on Friday to see if the 80 percent off offer deal is there.
I will not be clicking it though, as I imagine it would end my current Fee free offer.
But ultimately in 7 weeks or so time, I want to be back on the 80 percent discount fee offer... Or if ebay are feeling extra generous, another couple of months of Fee free would be nice... Time will tell.
