Just spotted this message that I apparently received June 1 (I really have to figure out why I'm not seeing these messages in my email): Pay no more than $50 in final value fees for the entire month [of June] I can hit this page even from a private-browsing window that doesn't share my eBay cookies, and the link doesn't appear to encode anything. This might mean that it's available to all sellers (meeting minimum standards), not just a select few. If you're a seller, try it and see. I posted earlier about a promotion that promised a 20% off coupon if I sell more than $200 worth of stuff listed during a narrow window in May. I still haven't sold any of those items I listed; I'm told the coupon has no value limit, so if it would let me (say) buy 10 AGEs at 10% back of spot, it would be worth my while to discount these items I've listed substantially. Now, this new promotion adds more terms to the equation. If I could get a pile of AGEs, then sell them on eBay without any FVFs... hmm. Nah, too many ways for a buyer to scam you on items that valuable.
I have 1 but it's $20. So gonna agree with jwitten & say in invited sellers. Sad thing is I've let my inventory dry up in desperate need to restock.
Interesting. I got the $20 cap once or twice last year, but I think it was per-listing, and only good on up to 5 or 10 listings, and a really narrow time window. This one caught my eye because it's got a wider window (a full month), it doesn't limit the number of listings, and it's based on date of sale, not date of listing. Yeah, I'd be happier if it were $20 instead of $50, but it's still an interesting opportunity.
I got the $50 one and I don't sell a huge value of stuff in a month. Because of that it's useless to me. What I'm dying for though is a free listings promotion, which I haven't received in more than a month now. I sell a lot of low-value coins and free listings is the only way it makes sense. They'd been sending the promotions pretty regularly, but nothing since some time in April. Can't sell stuff if it isn't listed.
