Looks like another round of these but as far as I can tell it's unlimited ??

When does the promotion run?
The promotion runs from 00:00 (AEST) on 21 Sept 2017 to 23:59 (AEST) on 30 Sept 2017 (“Promotion Period”).
Items must be listed and available for purchase by 23:59 (AEST) on 30 Sept 2017 in order to qualify for the promotion.

What is the promotion?
Pay no Insertion Fees or Final Value Fees for ANY items you list and make available for purchase in a single category during the Promotion Period (see exclusions below).
Insertion Fees are the fees to list your item, and Final Value Fees are the selling fees charged on sale of an item, calculated as a percentage of your total sale price. The promotion does not apply to fees for optional features or upgrades or any other fees that may be applicable. Learn more about eBay fees.

      I had no invitation sent to me yet your link worked on my 2 accounts.
      Comes up as 0 used/0 left , but as you list used count goes up and left stays at zero (unlimited)

    • videoman on 21/09/2017 - 17:51

      That link didn't work for me but when I went to https://www.ebay.com.au/sl/sell?sr=wnstart

      It allowed me to activate the offer.

    Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only.

    This will screw up like their last one.

    • TilacVIP on 21/09/2017 - 13:43

      how so?

        When listing something it wouldn't come off the promotion and would instead come from 40 free listings.

        And items set to automatically relist would come out of the promo when relisted, which completely screws everything up and gives you no control.

          This^^ Had to get eBay on the chat today to get credits for several items that were listed after I signed up for the previous 10 fee-free listings promo, but came off the regular 40 free listings and so incurred FVF. The fixed it quick smart though - have obviously had to do this a few times recently.

        • Scab on 21/09/2017 - 14:17

          @dm01:

          It's a pain in the arse because I have over 40 things listed and they are all set to automatically relist.

          So I've had to keep a record of all the item numbers and dates, then I'll have to wait until they're sold and email eBay for a credit.

          They're pretty good about it as you've said but it's a pain.

        • dm01 on 21/09/2017 - 14:24

          @Scab:

          Oh I feel your pain! I had to do the same today with the things I'd sold since signing up for the promo - what had sold since but was listed before, what sold since but was listed after…double check the listing numbers etc…and that was just to get credits for three items. Yours would be much messier.

          I do feel like eBay's customer service have been stepping it up lately, though - I've had to get in touch with them a few times recently, and all been good experiences, resolved quickly. I suspect the imminent arrival of Amazon is affecting many aspects of their business, not just the guys inventing promo codes…everyone has gotta bring their game!

        • Scab on 21/09/2017 - 14:58

          @dm01:

          It hurts my brain just thinking about it.

        • RichDad PoorSon on 21/09/2017 - 14:59

          agree. eBay is the most sneakiest bastards I've ever come across. unfortunately they're also one of the good ones (and secure). I'm just waiting to see the next big thing to come up and then adios ebay.

  • wildstone on 21/09/2017 - 12:28

      Thats a different promotion - I have that one and this one listed

      • TilacVIP on 21/09/2017 - 13:44

        So you can use both?

        • urbancartel on 21/09/2017 - 13:46

          Hopefully I will sell something in the next day or two and will know - both seem to be running at the same time though

    Cheers OP. Keep an eye on your account tho last offer of 10 freebies is messed up. Keeps charging and had to contact them to get the fees credited. And it still keeps charging so hasn't been fixed up. Bit of a hassle to keep following it up.

  • QuickdraW on 21/09/2017 - 13:30

    don't forget about paypal fees.

  • [Deactivated] on 21/09/2017 - 13:31

    I have it on 1 account but not the other lol.

  • muncan on 21/09/2017 - 13:34

    Tried to add this previously and eBay said it was already active on my account. Then I sold something the other day (buy-it-now with seperate postage) and I still paid a total of 13% fees split over PayPal and eBay.

    eBay’s standard fees specified on ebay.com.au continue to apply.

    🤔

    • Scab on 21/09/2017 - 13:48

      The way they do it is to still charge you but you will receive a promo credit in your monthly invoice (you can see if something sold has come out of the promo in your landing page at the bottom under Promotional Offers).

      eBay’s standard fees specified on ebay.com.au continue to apply

      What that means is that fees for extras to your ad apply, but for a standard ad there is no Insertion or FVF.

      • muncan on 21/09/2017 - 14:38

        Thanks but now I’m more confused.
        I shall stick to buying!

        • Scab on 21/09/2017 - 15:00

          It's pretty simple, just place an ad but don't buy extras.

          All you will have to pay is PayPal fees.

  • [Deactivated] on 21/09/2017 - 13:57

    What if someone buys it with -18%? eBay has to cover 18% of the cost without any profit?

    • [Deactivated] on 21/09/2017 - 14:01
      +1

      I'm sure they won't go hungry.

      • [Deactivated] on 21/09/2017 - 14:02

        Oh I wasn't worried about that, I was thinking of the possible deals. When things can be sold without the ~10% fees that's a further 10% off for us, making the 18% a true 18% saving.

        • [Deactivated] on 21/09/2017 - 14:05

          I prefer to think it as everybody has an extra 18% to spend and businesses can jack prices or sellers receive higher prices in auctions.

        • [Deactivated] on 21/09/2017 - 14:08

          @Levity:

          You're thinking of the 20% off sales where businesses cover ~10% and eBay covers ~10% (basically covered by the fees they charge). Usually the retailer marks up prices by ~11% to cover their part of the cost, so it's basically just eBay giving the sellers fee to the buyer.
          Total: 0% if prices upped / ~10% if prices unchanged.

          (eBay prices are usually ~10% higher than their main stores due to seller fees)

          This is the seller paying no fees and eBay covering 18%. The seller doesn't need to up prices to cover eBay fees or the extra charge seen with 20% specials.

          Total: 18% saving.

  • eastwood27 on 21/09/2017 - 14:18

    How about those invitees post "Virtual" items for sale and ask their friends/families to buy them during today's this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/330827 . You can make nice little profit. Unfortunately I missed out.

    Insertion fee sounds like something you might be forced to pay for dropping the soap in prison.

  • autolux on 21/09/2017 - 16:16

    i got targetted for the last one and was the sole reason i listed an iphone i had lying around. sold it and got free insertion fee but billed $40 for final value fee @9.5% or whatever ripoff merchant rate it is…

    so a double bend over as the deal was lies and it reminded me why i dont waste my time on ebay anymore because there final value fees are (profanity) outrageous….. die.

    • doweyy on 21/09/2017 - 16:19

      Go and live chat immediately with ebay and they will credit you the $40 fee.

      • autolux on 21/09/2017 - 19:31

        done & done, cheers bro. first they tried to claim it was in excluded categories, but it clearly wasn't.

        • doweyy on 21/09/2017 - 19:38

          Great work, glad it worked out for you. That happened with me but they usually give in to avoid any hassle :)

  • netsurfer on 21/09/2017 - 16:38

    Not available to me - not surprised. Anyway, to benefit from it, you still need to manage to sell the items. feeBay offered me 3 items last time. However, only managed to sell one item. Also, don't forget Paypal fees still apply.

  • superbass on 21/09/2017 - 16:57

    So list something buy-it-now for $2500 which no one will buy, make another account and buy it tonight using 18% off code, and you profit ~$375 after paypal fees?

    Anyone done this?

    • Turd on 22/09/2017 - 08:22

      Imagine you did this one million times you'd have 375million less PayPal fees!

  • Drphods on 22/09/2017 - 16:34

    Hey Guys,. I had my eye on a PC, costing $450. It had a 'Make an Offer" button on the listing. As soon as I made an offer of $425, the offer was declined. I revisited the listing a short time later and the offer price was $550. When I questioned the seller, he said that the price was not negotiable during the 20% off sale. I knew nothing about the 20% at that point. I'm not happy, what do you guys think?

    • omgitzrick on 24/09/2017 - 13:39

      Think of what? Seller can do whatever he wants with his item.

      • Drphods on 25/09/2017 - 11:00

        True, but what's the point of a 20% off sale, when the seller jacks the price up 22%!

  • qzcbmo on 24/09/2017 - 10:59

    Hi can someone please tell me what does in a single category mean? For example, if I have the sell 10 for free, but listing in a single category, does that mean if I list my iPhone as my first item, the other 9 item I will list have to be mobiles to get free ebay fee charge? Thanks

    Does anyone know whether, if I begin an auction before 23:59 (AEST) on 30 Sept 2017, and it ends 7 days later (say, 6th of October), whether it will still be included in the promotion (i.e. I won't have to pay any fees)? I have a whole bunch of items I'd like to auction off and was lucky enough to have been offered the deal. Thanks in advance!

    • urbancartel on 26/09/2017 - 22:08

      Hey crs, I wondered the same thing - I think as it states this in the fine print you should be fine

      'Good ‘Til Cancelled listings created during the Promotion Period will be eligible for the promotion only until the listing automatically re-lists.'

      Like to know what others think though as i'm also thinking of loading up a few listings before the cutoff and am hoping they will be FVF free

  • shapers on 28/09/2017 - 15:03

    Just a heads up guys - happened to me last time and just happened to me again.
    Sold an item after taking advantage of this offer - they still added the fees to my account.
    Told chat and they said there was a technical error and credited me the fees.
    Check your account statements to make sure you arent charged :)
