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

sorted byI'm one that had the previous free listing offer and have tried many times over the last 24 hours plus to get this offer with no joy.... All of a sudden I am now accepted

I believe multi item listing is not covered under this promotion?
Perhaps it was something I said!
I suppose it's possible, but it seems a bit far fetched at this point. I believe most if not everyone who got the no fee offer was already receiving 80% off regularly, and presumably whatever makes you a candidate for that is also key in whether ebay gave you the no fee offer.
It wouldn't make much sense if they valued you enough to always give the 80% and then the no fee offer only to suddenly give you nothing.
There's also the fact that the no fee offer was damage control for sellers from being scared away by the new HMRC data sharing. So again, if ebay cared enough about keeping you around to give you that offer, it wouldn't make much sense to subsequently never give you any kind of offer again.
So for now, I think making the assumption that opting into the free offer permanently invalidates you from the 80% offer seems to be a stretch and verging on illogical and implausible.
I also wonder if the fact that technically there's still probably tens of thousands of active listings still under the "no fee" offer until the 14th of next month has something to do with not getting the 80% again, yet.
All just speculation, of course, nobody knows for sure what's happening. Probably not even ebay half the time!
But I do think people are quick to jump to conclusions. It was only a few weeks ago that nobody could activate the 80% offer until the Friday and not Wednesday (something that usually only happens to a small percentage of people) and there was a chorus of people declaring the 80% offer must be discontinued for everyone after the "no fee" offer, even going as far as concluding that it had been pulled to allow the "free to sell used clothes" offer. Turned out to be scaremongering a few days later. (edited)
Thanks for the reminder
