Promotion is valid for up to 100 listings on eBay. Pre-owned clothes will not count towards the 100 listings.

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.

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 charges 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.The regulatory operating fee will also still apply in full to the sale.
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.

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.

I never got these offers, and decided to see if selling some low value items might make a difference - although an active buyer I hadn't sold stuff apart from a car on there for 3 years or more. Flogged 4 items for a total of c £20, and hey presto, got the last 80% offer and now again this week, allowing me to sell some bigger value stuff. May not work for everyone, but did the trick for me.
Yeah I sold something and started getting the offer. Seem to get it every fortnight so far, but it's always on a busy weekend for me
Thank You:-)
I Activated in my Sellers Hub with no problem. I will get all my stuff sold, eventually!
The good thing is that clothing is now 100% free to sell. Although be careful because accessories: hats, scarves, belts, shoes, socks, bags etc aren't FREE to sell - I wonder how many will ccaught out with that one! (small print!) (edited)
My shoes are listed as a t-shirt
So if I list something on the last day, at it sells on, say, the 25th April does that still count for 80% off?
Yes, as long as it sells within the initial listing period then it qualifies... 30 days for Buy It Now listings.
I got this deal, but when i list, its not taking the listing off the 100 80% listings, its taking it off the normal total, anyone know why please?
Have you clicked the link from within eBay messages?
One day I may get an invite to one of these offers before I die
Trying to sell a 5k+ item waiting for this and neither 80% or 70% works, what is this garbage...
Hurrah back to 80% from 70% after my seller account went back to 100% fb
Nothing again after nearly a year and a half. Wouldn't care I have paid ebay over £100 in selling fees in the last few months!
We’re in the same boat. Havnt had an eBay offer work since 2021 probably
Idk why but this always used to work for me and I have 100% positive feedback why can't I get this offer
Same!!!
Still not eligible . It's been 2 or 3 years now. I've only started listing again due to the free clothes listings, I guess I won't be using Ebay for anything else still...
Cheers OP. Just finished some auctions today and straight back on it this weekend. One day my lofts may be clear....
Now time to get the Mr Sheen out & dust off my old kit & sell it as new but opened
First time all my accounts have 70% instead of 80%.
not accepting. Hopefully will send a message 70 is not ok 🏽
Yeah, and let’s not forget that you will still be charged 30p per item just for listing (which adds up quite quickly!) Last time, a few weeks ago, I posted about 65 items on a “70% off FVF” offer. As such, the 30p fee, alone, has cost me £19.50. About 75% of the items didn’t sell (despite the fact that I priced them based on what identical or similar items had sold for in the recent past). So, I’m about £15 down due to the 30p/item fee before I start. It DEFINITELY wasn’t worth the time and effort involved (assessing condition, researching sale price of identical/similar items, taking photos, writing descriptions, posting to eBay, answering questions, packaging up, printing labels, several trips to the Post Office, etc.) so I won't be doing that again!
As for why c.75% of my items didn’t sell, I’m not sure. Seems to me that people are REALLY feeling the pinch (“cost of living crisis” and all that) and reigning in their spending as much as they can. Britain, it seems to me, is utterly fecked! We are, it seems to me, in an economic death-spiral - and I don't see any way out. (edited)
Such a con, I don’t understand why it’s such a hot deal when hardly anyone eligible (I am regular eBay user and 100% positive feedback and not been able to get one for years) (edited)
Hate to break it to you, but 100% feedback is nothing special whatsoever. Every single buyer on ebay (per ebay policy) is absolutely perfect and therefore has 100% feedback as a buyer. a buyer cannot be left anything else!
Due to ebay's refusal to use visible strikes on accounts for non payers, I can assure you that non paying bidders will usually all have 100% positive feedback.
Hopefully this isn't the real thing otherwise I'm no longer eligible 😬
This is the real 2 weekly offer, 70% and 80%, they just had issues with notifications all week. (edited)
Worked for me thanks!
Got a couple of gaming laptop's to get rid of. Just in time. Nice!
yaaay finally an 80% given to me and not 70%
Thanks Op.
Right on time. That steam deck has got to go. Too old for that nonsense (edited)
4th one in a row I’ve not been accepted! Ever since I sold a watch a few weeks ago not been accepted! Well I’m not even trying the 70% offer !
Hallelujah! Time to get selling
Not eligible this time....
Did you accept the 100% off fees offer? I did and it might have been a mistake 😬
Anyone get the 70% one yet?
Yes I did.
Yep 70% has shown up for me after midnight. Phew!
I didn't even need to opt in this time.
Has anyone else not received the offer after recently being on 100% off FVF?
Nope 😥👎
If the three I've got ending on Sunday automatically relist will I get the 80% off?
Nope. You have to end them and list again Do not use the relist option as these won’t count for 80% either create new listing or use the sell similar option
For the first time in over a year, not eligible
Since February 2022, I have not received a single promotion
I realised in the last week that since February, I have zero listing and fvf fees. Wish I had made more of it
Thanks
I can see the promotion on my ebay and tried to list something and can still see i have 100 listings left ?
Did you accept it?
Yes! Didn’t think this was coming this week, it’s normally out before Friday!
Accepted again, thank you
Worked as it has for ages, fingers crossed it always continues to!
80% didn’t work. So just tried the 70%. Which did. Thanjs
Edit. Oh no it didn’t once I clicked it (edited)
Activated like 3rd time in a row, thank you! (edited)
I got this again! If anyone else has been struggling to get any offers recently (and hasn't been selling because of this), I just randomly listed something that was unlikely to sell, then lo and behold, a couple of weeks later I got the invitation. It had been months without. (edited)
Anyone else noticed this isn’t counting down correctly from 100 in the seller account? I’ve ended and relisted around 80 items and its only showing 40 items from the promotion have been used. Pre owned clothes are now excluded from the promotion (becuase they have no fees) but it says that some of the used 40 contain pre owned clothes which is very contradicting so I’m not sure its working correctly. Its concerning as last time I had sold with a similar issue I was charged the full fees and they won't credit those back. (edited)
One thing to check is that you don't have multi-quantity listings - these are not eligible for the offer.
I had the 0% selling fees offer back in Feb and it just expired a couple days ago
I always used to qualify for 80% off fees
Well turns out I don't anymore
Maybe the 0% fees were a ploy by ebay to take a financial hit for 2 months but now they don't give promo to you anymore
The 0% offer only ended on Monday. I wouldn't start worrying for at least a fortnight.
