About this deal

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


4307305-tWCIY.jpg
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.
  • 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.

    Always be aware that if you list on a Buy it Now using the offer, when the listing auto renews after 30 days, the fees will revert to normal rates. To solve that..end all listings just before the 30 days is up and re-list (providing a new 80% off offer is available)

    I just got caught by this. Thankfully eBay Support refunded me as a goodwill. It is not entirely clear from the T&Cs that this happens, especially given the term "Listings do not have to successfully sell during the promotional period to be eligible". The fact that an open-ended listing is actually a series of 30-day listings is a bit of a gotcha.

    100% new account time.
    We hadn't been offered this for over a year.
    We are now using a new account for the last 2 weeks and this offer just confirmed.
    Also don't be fooled by the 12.8% + 30p fee as that is an absolute minimum.
    If you dare to sell internationally via the GSP, you are also clobbered with a further 1.8% charge.
    Finally Ebay are also charging 20% VAT on the fee meaning I paid a whopping £47.68 selling an item for £247.
    I just did the maths and that is 19.3% - Shocking (edited)

    Made a new account. Code still doesn't work for me
  3. loofer's avatar
    Does a listing still qualify if you create it now but have it start on the 8th?
    thunkpad's avatar
    If I recall, scheduled listings don't qualify. Just save it as a draft and list it once the offer starts.
  4. Daniel_Kolb's avatar
    If I have listed items on buy it now can I take them down and re
    list and get the offer?
    Darter's avatar
    Yes. Activate the new offer then relist or use sell similar during the offer period.
  5. qball101's avatar
    Never get these offers anymore have gone down the route of using FB marketplace, Reverb and Vinted when i need to sell something. Have to say the Vinted experience is a million times better than ebay.
    IanL89's avatar
    Have used Vinted and so far no problems but looking around it there's a whole lot of scamming going on there, lots of items very undervalued which means scam.

    Be careful people! (edited)
  6. Angeli2's avatar
    Can't get the 80% anymore will have to wait for the 70%
    AstalaVista's avatar
    Try to activate it on Friday...........doing sooner shows desperation, reducing chances of getting offers!
  7. CAL23's avatar
    80% - Invitation only
    70% - Invitation only
    £0 fees - Invitation only

    I haven't sold on eBay for months now and I never will with the 12.8% fees and the extra 0.42% regulatory operating fee from 8th April!
    Dan_425's avatar
    Yes it's prohibitive. Once you add postage you're making a loss.
    99% ebay is Chinese sellers now.
  8. pc99's avatar
    At last.

    After a year of not being eligible, I finally created a new account and hey presto I'm eligible.
    Thanks for posting op.

    Had to sacrifice my 359 feedback rating mind. (edited)
    spenspuma's avatar
    Now you've got to go through the whole rigmarole of them holding your money until you get positive feedback and also buyers not trusting you.
  9. fossit's avatar
    Omg I got accepted to 80%, was stuck on 70% for ages
  10. OhTyler's avatar
    Always wondered why they let you accept it like 3 days earlier despite the fact that it doesn't actually starts until after midnight on Friday. Is it to trick those that don't read the small print to list things early and get charged the full selling fees?
  11. BlackHawk's avatar
    This offer seems to be available more often now and I like it! Not that I've got much to list.
    thunkpad's avatar
    Bar a few seasonal breaks, It's been every fortnight since forever now.
  12. jona77's avatar
    That’s the last 2 I’ve not had! Even waiting till Friday! 
    Angeli2's avatar
    Same here but the 70% one seems to work all the time for me now
  13. Roystrainset's avatar
    Cheers op
  14. Psychic's avatar
    Thanks Op.
  15. Jetzki's avatar
    I currently have 100% off fees until end of April.
    Promo is here pages.ebay.co.uk/promos/freeselling/2024/1013169/
    This has been active for a week or two already. Probably not available for all accounts, but if it's available to you definitely take this one not the 79% or 80%. (edited)
    nazsoftuk's avatar
    By invitation only from the looks of it.
  16. AverageBloke's avatar
    Thanks, accepted again.
  17. wilky67's avatar
    Accepted again, thank you
  18. ssc1's avatar
    Great stuff.
  19. Maxm4n's avatar
    Thanks op.....Will have to sell something before the tax man get us...lol
  20. vortex-3's avatar
    Yes got this one after failing to get the 70%! (edited)
  21. Brummie2020's avatar
    Last one of these said I qualified and I still got charged £1.32 on a fiver item (BIN which this suggests is included) plus p and p. Didn't realise they now charge the full fee on the postage as well so you can basically lose money selling on eBay these days quite easily.
  22. AamirQuazi's avatar
    Thanks - perfect timing for me… just got a load of new networking gear… so i’ve been waiting to list my old stuff…. Probably save me close to a hundred in fees!
  23. cobble123's avatar
    I got this offer basically every other Friday morning for years. I don’t think I’ve paid full price since lock-down.
  24. EliTeAP's avatar
    Heat, accepted!

    Gonna sell some trainers on 8th!
  25. bluepeter11's avatar
    Thanks OP, needed this badly and was not invited for some of the other ebay seller fee deals
  26. Geldof84's avatar
    Thanks
  27. axgod2's avatar
    works for me
  28. mooooof's avatar
    It’s finally allowed me to go from 70% to 80% after the longest time.

    I’d still love the £1 fee to come back but we move
  29. Sally_20's avatar
    Anyone having problem to see their active listings
    M_Upright's avatar
    Yes, looks like eBay is down for a lot of folks

    Finally have something to sell, and not on my account!
  32. Dano2k0's avatar
    Are you guys able to opt in already? It doesn't show on my account.

    Or is it a case of, it will show up as of Friday? (edited)
    sivilis3d's avatar
    Click on the deal. If it shows expired, you're not eligible. Try the 70% deal.
  33. Angel21's avatar
    I always get this, but waste of time as my listing are always hidden
    Gone done the road of paying to promote
  34. xxbluedragonxx's avatar
    People should only vote this up if they actually get the offer. Would be interesting to see how many no longer get this (or anything)
    JamesB83's avatar
    I didn't get it for 5 months then started getting it the next fortnight after I sold a couple of things. Had it four or five times now. If you sell a few things you might get it again
  35. xybp9's avatar
    works for me

    I'm over the 1000/yr hmrc fU limit though... (edited)
    Lord.vader's avatar
    In the eBay update today it says the limit is £1740 BUT maximum 30 sales in a year as well.
  36. squishy88's avatar
    Unfortunately, you can no longer sign up for this promotional offer because it has expired. These deals don't work for me ☹️
  37. ganticus's avatar
    I haven't had any of these offers for over two years now so went ahead and sold a few items anyway and hoping the algorithm changes for me next time round.
  38. montymoo222's avatar
    Expired for me
  39. Utakos's avatar
    For the last 2 years every offer shows as expired
  40. Muchetto's avatar
    I have boycotted ebay. They have given all the power to buyers to change their mind on buying 2nd hand items. Having no returns listed doesn't make any difference. They are trying to compete with Amazon, which is fine for shops on Ebay. But average joe sellers want to get rid of stuff are getting screwed over. I cannot stand Ebay anymore. Horrible customer service too. I will never sell anything on there again
    fossit's avatar
    I’ve not had many problems at all on eBay with returns etc and I’ve sold a fair bit.
