About this deal

This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:

Pay no selling fees until April when you come back to eBay!
Offer on selling fees is valid from 23 February until 22 April. Applies to final value fees. Private sellers only. T&Cs apply.
It’s time to sell! List with zero selling fees until 22 April!
There’s never been a better time to list your items! List and pay zero selling fees until 22 April*.

Terms and Conditions
Specific information about this Promotion
What's it all about?
Get 100% off fixed order level fee of 30p and variable percentage final value fees ("FVF") per listing in final value fees if the item sells and pay no insertion fee.
Other fees, including any International fees, still apply.
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.
Eligible listings must sell during the promotion period or within the first listing period post promotion end date.
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 to start the benefit.

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 both the Fixed Portion FVF and 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 100% FVF discount will reduce this to 0%. The Fixed Portion FVF (e.g. 30p) will be discounted to 0.

You won't pay an insertion fee for eligible 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.

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 Promotional Period, it will be eligible for the Promotion.
You will not receive a refund of your original insertion fee if the item sells.
Listings not sold successfully during the Promotional Period are eligible within their first listing period.
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 it is automatically relisted during the Promotional Period, it will still be eligible for the Promotion discount. If the item does not sell the first time and you relist it after 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 eligible for discount.
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.

    Got this. what does it mean,? (edited)
    David_OZkH's avatar
    It is for sellers. When you sell an item, you have to pay a fee for selling it. But with this, you don't pay any fee.
  2. GOODSTUFF's avatar
    eBay going downhill for me lol. Facebook marketplace here I come
    AverageBloke's avatar
    Then you'll really get lots of timewasters and cheapskates.
  3. Mr_Fish_One's avatar
    Damn great deal, just listed about 30 Rab coats too. No discount for me 😧
    AverageBloke's avatar
    Business accounts no longer get FVF offers, just higher fees and more returns.
  4. CAL23's avatar
    That's the FOURTH eBay offer I've seen and not been eligible for!
    This "invitation only" thing needs to stop.
  5. MrBook's avatar
    Just watch out though everyone!
    Especially private sellers who may not have a long positive feedback record to show in front of Ebay.
    I've sold 3 phones in the past week.
    1 to an honest seller.
    2 buyers came back saying they received empty boxes.

    One pending refund case because the 'buyer hadn't received their item'.
    The other scammer seems to be considering their options.

    On the verge of losing over £1000 because of this.
    Not great at all.

    Watch out for buyer scams fellow HUKD'ers!!!
    paul.godefroy's avatar
    I have sold phones through Ebay and always use Special Delivery or Royal Mail Tracked as a minimum. I would never dream of Using Everi for anything over £20. Problem is you cannot be sure the fraud/theft has happened before or after the packages were delivered.

    Unfortunately, I am apparently a nobody, so I'm not eligible for any of the promo offers for the millionth time in a row
    pfpf's avatar
    You need to change your name to zx81. Then you'll be an "everybody wants to know you, everybody wants to be you, everybody wants to be inside..." Hang on.
  7. Kaz00ie's avatar
    Rather go through Gumtree. Packed eBay in, too many buyers are scum that rip you off.
  8. KiNG's avatar
    Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only.
  9. Kandy's avatar
    Just found this offer on my account. Along time since I'd listed on this account as never got more than 70% offered and seems they want me back.
  10. andras.eisenmann's avatar
    Is anyone knows if I relisting an item it will be still under the promotion offer?
    Darter's avatar
    Yes, you're ok.
  11. Ahsadturbo's avatar
    Hey guys, for those who had their offer expired on the 15th, did you check if your sold items after that date for the listings made during this period, still qualified for the promotion?

    one of my items sold on the 16th and I paid no fees, but I am not sure if it was a fluke. can anyone confirm?
    Just.Wondering's avatar
    No fees for me on listings that where part of the offer, I relisted all mine on the 15th,various ones have sold after that date, no fees.

    Did you get the 80 percent offer on Friday?
  12. 1988dave's avatar
    Bs
    I cant get 70%, 80% or £1
    Or even this ebay, the site that keeps on not giving
    astramondeo's avatar
    I'm the same, keep seeing these offers but never for me. Got a load of stuff to sell as well
  13. DanManchester's avatar
    I would love to come back.. but they don't want me back it seems lol *sigh*
    Not had any of these seller discount offers for a year or more now
    adistripes's avatar
    Ditto, used to use eBay loads a few years back (with the free/£1 final fees) and now I'm rarely accepted on offers shown on here! Their loss, as I'll stick with Vinted and Gumtree with no selling fees anyways!!
  14. freebiehunter's avatar
    No good for me. Got a nice email from eBay though saying they are adding yet another fee to the already rip off fees from 8th April. Just isn’t worth selling on there

    Not eligible as always with these promos
    NeverBagHolding's avatar
    Why do some of us never get any offers ? Is it because we actually use ebay
  17. lizardkiss's avatar
    Just received this offer... Right in time to declutter my home (edited)
    bazwinder's avatar
    You've already got rid of that "t" you think you didn't need.
  18. steve765's avatar
    Not entitled. By invitation only.Haven’t sold on Ebay for a while…quite obviously they don’t want me back. But yet they can still offer some people this good offer still. (edited)
  19. Vistrix's avatar
    So I wasn't invited to the 80% offer for the first time in a year and then find out this works for me
  20. Adriatique's avatar
    Not for me I got the usual 70% off
  21. carltonbp's avatar
    Not had an offer now for a year. Set up Vinted this week to try that, I can take a hint Ebay, might have taken me a year but I got there.
  22. tr0r's avatar
    I miss the ebay of about 15 years ago. Smaller fee's, a generally better experience for sellers and it all just seemed like much less of a faff.
  23. TightOurSole's avatar
    Damn, just got this and sold £400 worth of stuff last week 😡 typical

  24. bonzobanana's avatar
    Not for me but I also got the email about an increase in fees instead.
    GOODSTUFF's avatar
    The way this is worded is just brilliant! Like as though eBay have specifically targeted you with extra fees. (Sadly I am in the same situation) I share that feeling
  25. DracUK's avatar
    Worked for me and I am quite regularly selling on there. Thanks OP
  26. sheffield788's avatar
    Voted hot! I just found this in my emails, and I was getting ready to post it. I used to get 100% no fees offer in the past, but over the past year, I qualified only for 70-80% off.
    It's time to sell some stuff. Works for me and hot. (edited)
  27. jimbo001's avatar
    Ohh, I got this! Need to sell my i7 12700f and rtx 4070!
    Phil452's avatar
    How much does the 12700F go for? In the market for one and a motherboard to go with it
  28. TerryT's avatar
    How do eBay’s algorithms decide who gets this? Any notable patterns?
    freebiehunter's avatar
    Random
  29. scapton's avatar
    Wow didn't get the 70% or 80% but I did get this!!
  30. mmp669's avatar
    Stop selling on eBay a few years back, 12.8% plus 30p fee is extortionate. Don't think any physical retailer have that high profit margin.
    Set-Phasers-To-Stun's avatar
    Don’t you get sent discounted sellers fees? I get 80% off every other week so it’s not too bad.
  31. 143AD's avatar
    Great if you get offered it
  32. JakeSully's avatar
    Reading from the other topic, I couldn’t get it. Now, I just got the email. 😬
  33. 92enyawd's avatar
    Worked for me .. I generally don’t get these offers thanks!

    This is a second deal of this type and starts today.
    So for people who weren't eligible for the first, they may be for this.
  35. Adam2190's avatar
    Not eligible, annoying as I have quite a lot of relatively expensive stuff I've been waiting to sell.
  36. lageryron's avatar
    What is the criteria to qualify for these seller offers, do I have to go on a quest or something?
  37. TiredParent's avatar
    Yeah I got this
  38. 3LeggedDog's avatar
    Nice worked for me!
  39. Dillz_'s avatar
    You must have virtually and barely any sales to get eligibility for this surely
    RM1975's avatar
    Sell an average of 100 items a month and I got this offer..along with the fortnightly 70% off virtually every time.
  40. Marky264's avatar
    Shocked that it's worked for me! Thanks OP!
