First timer, seen this on LinkedIn and from my knowledge, something that has never been offered before. Free Insert and Final Valuation Fees + Free eBay Store Subscription (Basic or Featured) for 3-months for NEW Small Businesses that register before June 30, 2020.

Doesn't look like there is a cap or limit based off the sign-up page.

Enjoy selling!

We're offering new business sellers no selling fees for 3 months when they open an eBay Store before 30th June 2020^. What this means for you:

No Store Subscription Fees
No Final Value Fees
No Insertion Fees

What is the Promotion?

  1. Sellers who sign up for an eBay Basic or Feature Store during the Promotion Period will automatically have their store subscription fees
    waived for 3 months from the date of subscription (“Offer 1”).

  2. Additionally, sellers who sign up for an eBay Basic or Feature Store during the Promotion Period AND who are validated by eBay as genuinely new sellers in accordance with clause 7 below will pay no Final Value Fees or Insertion Fees for sales on www.ebay.com.au for 3 months from the date that they are notified by eBay that they qualify for this second offer (“Offer 2”).

  3. Sellers who qualify for Offer 2 will be notified by an email directed to the email address provided upon subscription for an eBay Store within 10 business days of the subscription date.

    You need ABN

    • MuddyClear on 23/06/2020 - 13:48

      The form also wants registered business name… but I guess you can make one up

    This was posted when stores were beginning to go into lockdown iirc

  • MuddyClear on 23/06/2020 - 12:39

    Are there fees if your store doesn’t sell anything. Like a monthly service charge etc?

    • myland on 23/06/2020 - 12:46

      No, the fees are charged before you open the store so this offer would waive those fees from the initial sign-up.

    Broden, this is your cue.

  • CyberMurning on 23/06/2020 - 12:58

    targetted?

    • Shads on 23/06/2020 - 13:01

      Might as well be with the strict eligibility criteria

    Pity that it doesn't apply to sellers who haven't had a store before…

    • MuddyClear on 23/06/2020 - 13:19

      It does

      • Shads on 23/06/2020 - 13:52

        Yes and no… The eBay account needs to be created after 30th March 2020 and not have any links to existing accounts.

  • MangoUbe on 23/06/2020 - 13:23

    Yeah no selling fees but then you get taxed…

    • isthisreallife22 on 23/06/2020 - 13:32

      Does anyone know, if it's just a small store to clear some household items say max $3000 cashflow per year, would there be any tax liability?

      • RMBC on 23/06/2020 - 13:48

        Yes, linked to your ABN and information would be provided to the ATO

        • myland on 23/06/2020 - 13:50

          From previous articles, it was only stores that sold more than $10,000 AUD annually had their reports sent to the ATO.

          View this here

          • RMBC on 23/06/2020 - 14:01

            @myland: Interesting discussion, however based on interactions with the ATO, their increased data analytics investment and their data matching programs, I'd suggest that amount is arbitrary, and wouldn't be taking the risk personally

            • myland on 23/06/2020 - 14:07

              @RMBC: I agree, but just remember you pay tax on the profit. If you sell $3,000 worth of merchandise you may only profit $500, of which you would be taxed on that profit of $500, not on the $3,000.

              This is why I feel they have the $10K minimum, the ATO is drastically under resourced as it is so chasing eBay sellers for $30 in tax wouldn't be the highest priority.

              +1

              @RMBC: Also depends on the ATO interpretation of selling too… technically you don't need to declare "income" if you sell under $10k and your activity is classified as a hobby. This article from the ATO site provides more information… also their business or hobby tool.

  • daft009 on 23/06/2020 - 15:19

    I got offered 6 months free, then the sales guy left and they only gave me 3 months free.

    Told them to just forget the whole thing, wasn't interested

  • MuddyClear on 23/06/2020 - 15:31

    What’s the difference of selling your items in a store vs regular posting on eBay?

    • myland on 23/06/2020 - 15:33

      Here

    • Shads on 23/06/2020 - 15:46
      +2

      The 2 main diferences are more free listings per month (600 for basic store vs 40 for regular seller account) and a very slight discount on the seller fees depending on the category… example 8% for store vs 10.9% for categories not in tier 1 or 3 and vehicles.

  • chakel on 23/06/2020 - 16:38

    I did this, then with new ebay accounts they only let you list 10 items a month. The reasoning was so you can slowly get used to the system and be trained how to use the platform.
    I complained and they raised it to 5,000 listings.

  • 777 on 23/06/2020 - 16:56

    I have nearly 10k of impulse buys that I want to get rid of both myself and Mrs have normal existing eBay plus accounts.

    one account never sold anything just purchase would they consider as a seller account?

  • singingwolf on 23/06/2020 - 22:58

    Opening a new account means no feedback score. People don't like buying from new accounts.
