this last promotion from eBay for the 80%off fees didn't go as expected for me. The promotion was for any listing listed from 14th to 18th October. Normally on ebay promotions I list everything as auctions and off course when the item gets sold it will be out of those four days window, but as far as I remember as long as the item was listed on those 4 days it was fine.
unfortunately this time it didn't work like that and i was charged the full fees. I am doing this promotions for an year and never had an issue.
I called eBay and they said the items were sold after the 18th October and I said \"yes, because it was a auction, but they were listed until the 18th\"
have anyone had this issue before?","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/45869213","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"sm9690"},"datePublished":"2021-10-25T13:29:41.000Z","text":"

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.
If you just Relisted an item rather than doing a new listing by using the …If you just Relisted an item rather than doing a new listing by using the Sell Similar option then that would probably explain it. You always have to create a new listing to get the 80% off FVF rather than just renewing an old listing.
That's not true; a relist during the promotional period qualifies just fine - I've done it myself, many times."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/45869225","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Haircut_100"},"datePublished":"2021-10-25T13:30:24.000Z","text":"

Yeah that might be it, as you’ve preset them so they may have taken it from the day the listing was set up
I tend to save mine as drafts, then auto start them within that period"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/45870868","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"jpgramacho"},"datePublished":"2021-10-25T16:44:06.000Z","text":"

Wasn’t the offer from the 15-18, if you listed it on the 14 then it was listed before the offer started.
Go on the eBay website and look at the previous offers, you can see which items were included."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/45893806","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"fryster"},"datePublished":"2021-10-28T12:07:46.000Z","text":"I've fallen foul when I've sent/accepted an offer, it charges the normal fees under these circumstances"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/46079212","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"dragonboatgirl"},"datePublished":"2021-11-15T20:37:51.000Z","text":"I had this and had to get the fees amended through their chat.
