        @I Smell Pennies

        Just letting you know, my latest experience.

        — when accepting the FVF offer, I could not,
        because my annual eBay Plus membership had expired, just last week.
        (so, that was expected!)

        — when trying to renew, eBay automatically offered me $9.99 for 12-month membership.
        so, your posted deal worked !

        — then, after listing the item as "Buy It Now", the item sold within a couple of days.

        — eBay counter shows "Used / Left __ 1/0 "

        — When I check my invoice, it showed something like this:

        FVF: $0
        Rate: 12.18% x ??? = - ○○○
        Promotion: ○○○ x 100% = + ○○○

        International Fee = $xyz
        (This is 1% of final amount, because delivery address was in the USA)

        So, the promotion worked on "Buy It Now" item. Thanks for your advice, before.

        However, imagine selling something $2k, and you have to pay $20 in an 'International Fee' !

        Then, with listing fee of $0.27 , and the GST ,… I got a fee, which I was not expecting.

        In all my years, I never saw this 'International Fee' and then eBay didn't even release these funds to me,
        because it takes a few days, in typical escrow fashion.
        I liked it better when it was instant with Paypal.

          Sounds complicated but seems like the selling promo still worked. You could always cancel the sale if you think it's a scammer or didn't want to sell to someone overseas, hard to know if it is legit or not.

          • whyisave on 06/12/2023 - 07:33

            @G-rig: I overshared information, so it sounded 'complicated', haha.

            My main point was that, even if the 0% FVF gave me the illusion of "no fees",
            eBay still slapped me with a big enough 'fee',
            because I had to send the item International.

            So, with items being in the thousands of $$$ ,
            that International Fee will actually hit your bottom line,
            especially if your shipping costs are mis-calculated too.

            • G-rig on 06/12/2023 - 07:37
              +1

              @whyisave: Yes sounds like $20 on international was the issue, but really it's only 1% of the cost so pretty good still!
              would cost heaps in fees otherwise.
              Pain either way selling anything to be honest.

              • whyisave on 06/12/2023 - 07:46

                @G-rig: Yes, that's right.

                So, selling $2k item means I saved AU$ 243 in FVF (which is 12.18%),
                and then there's the shipping too (which was about AU$ 39),
                but this was auto-calculated by eBay and had to be part of the "Buy It Now" price.

                eBay don't even release the funds straight away,
                and there's a time-delay on that.
                With Paypal before, you got instant confirmation,
                and it used to show up in my Paypal statement.

                If I made a mistake with the weight or physical dimensions,
                the, this postage cost would have become higher.

                You are right though, because even if I lost a little bit of money overall,
                I still saved the biggest fee (the FVF) by using this useful promotion 1 out of 1 times.

                It's just that I never heard of an 'International Fee' before,
                otherwise I would have factored that into my asking price.

                We're all operating on slim margins nowadays!

                Also, the buyer had to pay AU$ 150 as a sales tax for buying from Australia as well :-\

                • G-rig on 06/12/2023 - 07:55

                  @whyisave: well done.

      It's certainly not the same as the 2-3yrs ago when they had 10/month that's for sure.

      I sell high value low volume so even the petty 1/month still well pays for the membership in a single transaction, but I understand that's not the case for most sellers.

      Don't imagine the situation to improve in the near future either :c

    Flaky eBay system. Contacted CS that the offer is not working. Sent them the link, they said "The link you have shared is showing an error and hence I am not able to see it." And followed by the usual canned response "I will send to the escalation team and keep you updated" which in 99% of my experience, never.

    What's going on?

        I clicked on the marked December Offer link; is there another link?

        • proudwanderer on 01/12/2023 - 10:42

          Yeh, I mean the T's & C's for the December offer is correct, but when you click the "Accept" link it actually brings you to the November offer activation link.

          eBay needs to update it.

          The reason why I know is because when I clicked on that link yesterday - it shows that I have accepted the offer already and ends on Nov 30.

          Today - since it is no longer November - obviously when you now click on "Accept" it will obviously say it has expired.

      • zerog101 on 01/12/2023 - 14:50

        • ChipsChicky on 01/12/2023 - 14:53

          If you are sure that expensive one will sell 100%, better to take off cheapers for sometime.

      If your cheap things were listed before you accepted your promo - then don't worry. The promo won't apply to them.

      So you won't risk having the fee free applied to them.

  • Stylez on 07/12/2023 - 00:09

    If the buyer cancels the purchase or doesnt pay, do we get that fee free listing back?

    • G-rig on 07/12/2023 - 08:30

      Good luck with that, not sure. Mind you we get refunded ebay plus vouchers if the sale doesn't go through to use again.
      Report them anyway, buyer shouldn't be cancelling or not paying on ebay. I've let someone off once though (for change of mind).

    • CyberMurning on 07/12/2023 - 09:45

      i had one like that, dont worry.
      the offer still marked as unused UNTIL buyer pays (you only use the offer when a buyer pays, not when auction ends with a winner)
      just check it before you list it will be 0/1 zero used one available -
      but do NOT relist. create new listing.

      • Stylez on 07/12/2023 - 22:28
        +1

        Appreciate the replies, and yes you’re right.

        I can now share an update in my situation - the buyer wanted a refund(cancellation) immediately after paying, probably buyers remorse, but I did it for them because it felt like the right thing.
        Then I did lose the promotional listing (showed 0/1) even after the cancellation was fully processed.

        Contacted eBay support, they said officially this promotion is considered used up and that’s that, but they will offer me a credit this one time.

        Don't think how that’s fair to the seller, since technically the sale was reversed and it wasn’t sold.
        So beware if a buyer asks to cancel(refund), could end up losing the 0 fee promo.

        • Nom on 07/12/2023 - 23:12

          So beware if a buyer asks to cancel(refund), could end up losing the 0 fee promo.

          Unfortunately you don't really have any choice.

          If the buyer asks to cancel, you're definitely going to lose out if you force the sale. They'll just shaft you with some nonsense return.

        • CyberMurning on 07/12/2023 - 23:18

          Ah yes if they paid then you used the offer. If just not paying winner, you still have the offer.
