Hi all,

Thanks to ISP for the format, and unfortunately this deal isn't as good as it was last month, however, it is good to see that eBay have continued including Australia Post in the free labels. Hopefully in the next few days we uncover a free FVF promo to stack with this.

As usual, the T&Cs for the deal is impossible to find, but applied to all three of my eBay Plus accounts, so I assume it is just eBay Plus specific, but let me know if you didn't receive the offer and we can flag as targetted. When you go to print the label, it will come up with a screen like this (before someone comments, incognito was because I was checking my other account and is easier than logging out), which shows that all options are free for 3 parcels. Perfect time to send that heavy stuff as it is free up to 22kg and 0.25m³ with Auspost.

You can check with the following instructions via the eBay website (THANKS ISP FOR ALLOWING ME TO PLAGARISE):

  1. View your orders here (or on the eBay app, go to 'Selling' tab, then 'Sold'

  2. Click on one of your orders and click on "Purchase another label". You should see the promo under the 'Services' section where you choose your courier service and it should say in green text:

    3 FREE Postage labels for eBay Plus members until 30/04

Other Free Shipping Parcel Delivery Postage

        Agree, and it doesn't seem to remember your choice of opting out of Seller Hub.

        Still a bit strange purchasing these in advance as it gererates another one for the last sale again.. Seems to be ok next time anyway.

    eBay Plus is quickly becoming a must-have for sellers.

    • justtoreply on 01/04/2023 - 02:43
      +5

      The free post is a new benefit and I agree worth the subscription fee.

      Just keep in mind, until 2 weeks ago, ebay were on a continuous downhill to reduce seller benefits. They have been trying for a long time to make ebay plus a must have but only by reducing benefits that non-plus members used to receive (eg. stopping the zero FVF for regular members). Somehow, despite cost cutting and having subscription income they made their FVF fees skyrocket (rollseyes).

      Let's see how high their fees hit to compensate for this new benefit. Because their FVF are already crazy… yet I imagine they will increase the fees yet again.

  • ChipsChicky on 01/04/2023 - 00:36

    For 0 FVF, do i need to delete old listings (not sold in last month) and relist again from scratch, once its available?

    • Techie4066 on 01/04/2023 - 00:42
      +2

      Yup now's the time to delete them. That's best practise for relisting, but some say you can use Sell similar.

      • nicholasv on 01/04/2023 - 00:52
        +8

        You can sell similar and it works. If you already listed you item under last months promo and the item hasn't been automatically relisted yet, then last months promo will still apply! Always best practice to 'sell similar' and list the same item on the last day of the month, so you can effectively utalise a promo for almost 2 months

        • nicholasv on 01/04/2023 - 00:53
          +1

          But to answer your question, yes you'll need to Relist the item to qualify for the new promo when it drops (soon hopefully!)

        • Techie4066 on 01/04/2023 - 00:55
          +1

          Ah of course, you can keep a listing up after the calendar month. How could I forget. Not going to risk it with an expensive item though.

      • drazenm on 01/04/2023 - 00:54
        +4

        Yes you can use sell similar

        BUT BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL!!!!

        Today i had a clash with scummy, scamie, KNTY! ebay.

        So what happened (ALWAYS before posting the item to the buyer CHECK what's the amount that ebay will pay you out!!!) eBay charged me full fee even though I've repost the item as sell similar and not as reposting previously sold/unsold item, and it even had different item number which proves i haven't relisted same item, scum wanted to screw me over so i called to resolve but had no time to wait for it, cancelled, posted new similar item, contacted buyer, repurchased and all good.

        NEVER RELY ON THE SISTEM OR THEM TO DO THE "RIGHT THING"!!!

        Once the item is posted, it's posted and it's game over. You've been warned.

        • justtoreply on 01/04/2023 - 02:57
          +4

          Always do as a new item. Not similar item or relist. Because ebay are scumbags they created this insipid "must be a new item" loophole to avoid giving you benefits.

        • pixxelpusher on 04/04/2023 - 00:00

          I had a similar thing happen to me once where Ebay CS said that as I listed the same item the promo didn't apply to it, even though I use the "sell similar" function (not re-list). To get around it I simply said it was a different item, and after a bit of back and forward they reversed the fee. But from then on if an item doesn't sell I'll make a new listing and reword it a bit and swap the image order just to be safe.

      • open4highway on 01/04/2023 - 01:08
        +5

        DO NOT RELIST or SELL SIMILAR ITEM. eBay will not honor waving fees.
        Very hard to negotiate with them regarding this.
        Just create a new listing altogether. Before that copy paste listing description and pictures from previous listing. Takes a minute extra but will save you endless conversation with eBay.

        • Techie4066 on 01/04/2023 - 01:09

          eBay will not honor waving fees.

            @Techie4066: I wish I kept a chat transcript last time it happened to me but the customer service told me to click on create a new listing option for it to be counted as a new listing.

          DO NOT RELIST or SELL SIMILAR ITEM.

          ^ This.

          A couple of months ago, the eBay CSR chatted to me
          and said that new listings are better for their system,
          and to qualify for their offers,
          irrespective of whether "sell similar" generates a new Item ID.

          So, I have been doing this, ie. create an entire new listing,
          because it is not worth the time to fight with eBay afterwards,
          to claw back the FVF…and I guess they've designed this system this way, just to tire people out, haha

      Edit: I was typing this response on my phone and there are 3 similar responses already. That's the spirit!

      If your item was listed during the promo period then the promo is valid until the listing expires in 30 days.

      If you delete a listing, instead of relisting from scratch use the 'sell similar item' feature from the deleted listing. That way you don't have to start from scratch and it still counts as a new listing towards the promo. Tested once and this worked for me.

      • drazenm on 01/04/2023 - 00:57
        +1

        Isn't the promo valid for example in march to be listed and sold till 31st march? For example it sells on 5th April will be charged full fee, no?

        • nicholasv on 01/04/2023 - 01:00
          +1

          Nah goes based on when it was listed. I just relisted all of mine about 2 hours ago, so they'll qualify under last months promo

          From the comment:

          If your item was listed during the promo period then the promo is valid until the listing expires in 30 days.

          People have been lucky but going by the T&Cs there's nothing precluding eBay from charging fees. And as you say above, the system doesn't behave consistently and eBay support is hell. You won't have a case against them.

        • fastnet on 01/04/2023 - 01:02
          +1

          Last time I used this promo it said list before x date. But no condition on when it should sell buy. But best to check the fine print when a new promo comes out since they change it up from time to time.

            @fastnet: Hasn't been the case since these promotions ran regularly from August. I'm not risking it.

            When does the promotion run?
            The promotion runs from 00:00 (AEDT) on 1 March 2023 and ends on 11:59pm (AEDT) 31 March 2023 (“Promotion Period”).

            …

            What is the Promotion?
            The Promotion entitles Eligible Sellers, who have activated this promotion in accordance with these terms, to 0% variable fees (which is a component of Final Value Fees as defined on eBay.com.au) on 5 sales per Promotion Period on Eligible Listings.

    Sendle and AP must be in a race to see who can burn more money on eBay. I sent a 10kg package for free across the country with Sendle last month, and seven packages with AP. eBay Plus has more than paid for itself.

      Promo allows Auspost too, which I'd recommend over Sendle! However, sendle's insurance is $300 whereas Auspost is only $100, so if the item is over $100 then Sendle may be worth it, but ymmv

    I gave up on ebay to sell things. Seller Hub is awful (targeting only professional sellers), complicated to list, fees are way too much (I rather sell for cheaper), discounts are difficult, … Better options: for private sellers to offload their used items Facebook Marketplace is better (at least when you are in the big cities) and for professional sellers it's Amazon.

    In Germany ebay removed all fees for private sellers since the 01/03/23 - less and less people were using it. Amazing how they could ruin such a great business model.

    • G-rig on 01/04/2023 - 14:39

      Just change to the basic selling hub.
      I agree about the fees, but bit better if take advantage of these new free postage and 50-100% off listing fee promos.

      FB marketplace and Gumtree is a different level of annoying - low ballers, too many messages and time wasters.

        I find a lot of the time you will get that 14% more for things you sell on ebay vs local anyway. More often than not i have things sitting on gumtree/marketplace for a week or 2 and get nothing but ppl trying to knock 30+% off what i'm asking or saying they will take it and then never hearing from them again. Throw it up on ebay for gumtree price +14% and shipping costs and its gone within days. Don't have to converse with anyone. They click buy it now and i post it when convenient. Easy.

    Finally used my last free postage label. Saved about $105. $80 on one parcel. Combined with the no final value fees, I saved nearly $250. Wouldn't be surprised if they stopped doing this promotion soon.
