ISP Notes

0% Variable Final Value Fees on 1 New Listing (Capped at $25 Discount)


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 the sale of one Eligible Listing sold during the Promotion Period, to a discount of up to $25 (incl. GST). “Eligible Listing” means an item listing that is:
    newly listed on eBay.com.au during the Promotion Period (i.e. it cannot be a relisted item through ‘Good ‘til Cancelled (GTC) or auto-renewal);
    listed in multi-quantity or single quantity fixed price or auction format only; and
    not listed in one of the Excluded Categories (as defined below).
  • This promotion only applies to the variable fees on the Eligible Listing that is sold prior to the listing renewal, whether by auto-renewal or because the listing is GTC. After this, standard eBay fees will apply.
    Final Value Fees are the selling fees charged on the sale of an item, calculated as a percentage of the total sale amount paid per item (item price plus postage and handling charges) called a ‘variable fee’, plus a fixed charge of $0.30 per order (incl. GST for non-store subscribers). More information about eBay selling fees without an eBay store subscription can be found here.
    Once you have accepted the offer, the Promotion will be automatically assigned to your account and will be visible within My eBay. The Promotion will only apply to Eligible Items listed by the eBay account the Promotion is assigned to.
  • Unless otherwise indicated in these Terms and Conditions, this Promotion cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotional discounts, offers or waivers in respect of seller listings for Eligible Items.
  • The discount will automatically apply to all Eligible Sellers and Eligible Items (up to the maximum, if applicable) during the Promotion Period, in most cases. If the discount does not automatically apply once an Eligible Item has been sold, please allow 24 hours for your account to be credited. Any dispute about discounted Final Value Fees must be submitted to eBay in writing within 60 days of the date you incurred such charge, otherwise you waive such dispute and such charge will be final and not subject to challenge.

    Thanks BG

      ebay is going down quickly….

      FaceBook Marketplace (and Gumtree) always has:
      ZERO selling fees
      Ability to sell within an hour or so (so no need to wait out the auction period)
      Instant cash payment
      Zero fee payment options

      • +2

        Gumtree is dead. Facebook is OK for cash sales if you can persevere with 10:1 messages that are scammers or time wasters.

        • Really low ballers, whereas ebay has a set buyout. If FB implemented this feature then ebay = byebye.

      1) Don't make racial statement, the rest of your statements lose credibility instantly.

      2) Why are you below standard? Be a better seller !

      3) Seems like you did received discount on the standard fee, and were just charged for the penalty portion.

      • -6

        And seems to me you only wanted to see what you wanted to see and that's the racist part BUT neglected to see what my actual problems is, how it got there and what's the issue, you're extremely intelligent as ebay staff is that's as I've said playing DF about their terms, me being allowed to accept the offer even though i shouldn't as i don't fulfil the requirements and the 2 contradictions in it and what's the actual problem.

      • +5

        To be fair, when I looked years ago two transactions was all it takes to make you a "bad" seller. It's onerous depending (eg: out of stock, which could happen when listing on multiple fronts). Also, eBay's concept of a transaction didn't make sense, one item was flagging as two transactions. You can be a great seller and get done very easily by bad luck that isn't your fault. Of course you could also just be a bad seller.

        • It works on percentage terms. eBay knocks you off top status if you have just 0.5% transactions go bad. There are few things in life you can be 99.4% good at and still fail.

          • @Cluster: Yeah I meant for average Joe selling only a few items it's a big deal

    • I'll post later a topic in the forums

      I've got the popcorn ready for when you are.

  • +3

    Yes, finally! Thanks OP.

  • +1

    So does it cap at $25 fee? Or do you only save $25 from the fee total. Aka if I sell a high price item I still get reemed?

  • +1

    Not as good as 'no cap', but kind-of-better than nothing.

  • $25 cap, anyone work out what the max sell price is?

    • +3

      According to this:
      Maximum Variable fee free sale is approximately $186.

    • +5

      eBay fee: 13.4% of the sale amount + $0.30 fixed fee

      x * 13.4% = $25
      x = 25 / 0.134

      x = $186.57

      *The fixed fee of $0.30 is then added separately to the final amount.

      • +1

        wow 186 bucks thats chump change in this economy

      • +1

        I just sold something with this deal but was only charged 12.18%. Maybe it varies depending on category

        • Yeah, you're right. I checked a few of my previously sold items and the fee was 12.18% on all items under $4k

          However eBay does say the fee is 13.14%

          Based on the 12.18% fee the maximum sale price to hit the $25 cap is: $205.25

          x * 12.18% = $25
          x = 25 / 0.1218
          x = $205.25

  • so whats the max amount without paying any fees?

  • +2

    Unfortunately this promotional offer is not available to you :(

    • Same here! I wonder why?

      • dunno, havent sold on ebay for a while

      • I'm guessing you don't have eBay Plus as the acceptance states "eBay Plus: Save up to $25 on fees on your next sale".

        • Have eBay Plus

  • how does this work? for existing listings, do I need to re-list them?

    • +2

      yes, it should be a brand new listing, do not do relist to be safe.

      • +2

        I always relist as sell similar and had no issue.

  • +1

    only 10 days left.

    • +1

      nah, once you list item you can have full 30 days, only 10 days left to list item to be eligible.
      If I don't sell within 10 days, I will delete and relist on the last day to reset back to 30 days.

      • +3

        “ on the sale of one Eligible Listing sold during the Promotion Period”

  • +3

    It's only $25, but I'll take $25 over $0 any day. Thanks OP, keep posting these offers as despite being a very long term eBay Plus seller I never receive them. But the clicked links always work.

  • +1

    Thanks OP. The offer appears limited to eBay Plus members as the acceptance I received states "eBay Plus: Save up to $25 on fees on your next sale". If that is definitely the case then you may need to amend the deal title.

    edit:
    Ignore that… I just noticed you have eBay Plus at the beginning and I was looking at the end of the subject. Time for me to go and have a Bex and a good lie down.

  • +4

    wow does ebay know there is like 10 days left in june…. get your S^%T together ebay

    • You just gotta only list it within the next few days…. and let it sell within 30 days

      • I don't think that's true. I'm sure I got stung for fees the last time.

        • I haven’t had any issues. Always listing it with sell one like this

          • @BargainsGrabber: I can also confirm that I sold a couple of items in June (listed in May) and the May promo applied without issues.

            • @Hiphopopotamus: Can confirm

            • @Hiphopopotamus: Yep, worked fine in the past for me too. As long as they're listed during the promotional period (in this case, before the end of June), the promo will be applied if the item sells before the listing renews (so, 30 days for 'Buy It Now').

        • I just sold an item today using the June promotion and it worked. You have to make sure the listing is a new listing not a relisted item, otherwise you will get hit with fees

          • @dru86: That may have been why I got slugged the last time

  • +8

    Be sure to save a screenshot of the offer in your selling page in case there's a dispute with eBay later. Speaking from experience…

  • +2

    Targeted

  • -3

    How much do I have to pay as a fee, if I would like to sell my Google Pixel 7 (mint condition) through eBay? I recently sold a case (first sale) and eBay waived the postage label fees.

  • +3

    13.4% of the sale price minus $25

  • If an order is cancelled, will the promo quota be reinstated? Asking because the promo isn't showing under promotional offer in my account anymore.

    • No, if it's used its gone. Support may credit you for the next item sold as a good will gesture.

  • Can we still activate it and list this month, then if it's happen to be sold next month, we still get the rebate? I just got 1 sold (listed at the end of May) and got charged full selling fee (activated both May & June offer, with this particular one I listed in May)

  • Bookmarked 👍🤔😒😎

  • +3

    Anything for July yet?

    • June one seemed too pop up very late in the month so time will tell for Julys deal

  • No half price postages for July either?

    • Seems to come and go for me, month by month. I have nfi what the story is with that postage

  • Just sold something… full fees, full postage. Removed my other for sale items. Regretting recent eBay Plus sign up :(

    • If you used this deal or posted your listings through June and sold in July you qualify, suggest get in contact with eBay either email or call them, i prefer calling them or both they should fix 😉

      Edit: if you used relist or eBay relisted your listings in June then you don't qualify sorry to say

      • Not eligible for promotion for some reason :(

        • But did you accept original offer that was sent into your eBay inbox, i always hit the offer twice to make sure it goes through, second time if accepted will say "youve already taken offer"

          If you did accept offer I'd be on eBays back about it, they don't do anything unless one complains

      • Might have changed, did that for May as well and wasn't eligible

        • A bit hit and miss I guess. I did listed in May, sold in June and got charged full fee. Chat refunded on goodwill after I contacted them. Then similar thing happened, listed in June, sold in July (yesterday). This time it worked flawlessly with this offer

          • @hanofee: Yep exact same happened to me re May and June. Didn't bother with chat though for my sanity.

            • @tajid: You guys must be doing something wrong. I activated the offer from this deal in late June and listed the item in late June and it just sold a few days ago and the offer worked.

              • @videoman: Yes, we said it worked for June promo but didn't work for May promo.

              • @videoman: Been doing this for like a year now (since they had 3 per month), and didn't recall if I do it differently in May. Though yes, not every month I got something carry over to the next one, but with them giving the offer late in the months, it bounds to happen

    • +2

      But in Australia, there aren't any other good platforms to sell things. That's why eBay can charge such high fees; there's no competition for eBay.

  • +6

    I can’t believe those cheap pricks haven’t given us an offer for July. Took them a month to fix my eBay Plus account after re-signing with $19 promo, with no recompense, now this. (profanity).

    • +1

      Yeah they like to keep everyone guessing.
      I though they might possibly release it late like last month but nope. denied

    • I feel like they’ve been gradually phasing it out since early this year. It’s a goodbye to eBay Plus for me.

      • +1

        Oh well back over to Facebook if they are going to be dicks about it

  • +3

    Already cancelled 1 eBay plus so far, will cancel another one later in the year. Wait for $40-50 cashback sign up before I reconsider.

    • +3

      Yeah I was annoyed about missing out in my other accounts but now with paltry offers , I don't care at all

  • +1

    Canceled 3 of my ebay Plus subscriptions. Will cancel the rest once they're up for renewal. eBay's stinginess is off the charts. If the marketing department had a clue, they'd offer 5% flat selling fees for for ebay plus members.

    • 8% is still reasonable as buyers can pay with credit card/Paypal, but 13.5% right now is a bit much.

      But yeah, cancellation for me too.

      • Their bulk processing fee would be around 0.5%. That's what ALDI surcharges with CC payments. With a 5% flat rate, they'd still be making money on every transaction. They lose money on the $25 off promotion depending on the final cost of the item. But yeah, I'd even accept 8% at this point.

  • wheres the august deal

  • +4

    One thing the geniuses at eBay dont seem to get is that not having promotions pushes up the prices on the site and makes it less competitive and a dearer marketplace overall: Eventually I end up relisting but adding 14% to cover the costs - other items I just don't bother selling there.
    eBay plus is worthless without some free FVF and postage.
    Just too stingy

  • +4

    I will also be cancelling this month.

    I was more disappointed with the removal of 3 half price Aust post labels than anything.

    Their double-dipping on postage is gross.

    They hit you up with a fee on postage, then charge full price for generating a postage label via their platform, which they would be paying Aust post at most, 70%

    I've been using mypost business discount codes to save a few dollars, but it is a lot more effort.

    • you can use your own labels.

  • +1

    Sell on Facebook marketplace or Gumtree where possible, might have to deal with timewasters and scammers but at least no 13-14% fees

    • +1

      But Sell 20% below price on eBay
