After activating I confirmed. These accepted offers STILL do not show up in Seller's Hub as being activated. Unsure why??? Makes monitoring extremely difficult.

To my eye the issues are caused by this one exception line.

The Promotion excludes listings created prior to activating the offer and listings with a start date prior to, or after the Promotion Period.

Still trying to rationalize why one would need to cancel a perfectly good GTC'd listing to relist to get it to meet the guidelines. As long as it relists during the window AND sells it should qualify. I believe for the folks that didn't quality during the last fiasco, this was the reasoning.

Some sellers with time-sensitive products will have a long Unsold Items list of out of season goods.

Then they relist when the right season comes around.

It's not clear to me if those reactivated Unsolds would be eligible if they were Relisted or only if they were Sell Similar.

@femmefan1946

That would work fine if you were able to save in Unsold for longer than 3 months. I had Turbolister but it stopped working sometime in 2018. Drafts sometimes stay saved but not always. Saving in a spreadsheet I personally find with OOAK too labour intensive.

You could try stealth listing.

Deep in the shadows of night, list all your Unsolds. Then five minutes later, take them down again.

Back they go to Unsold for another three months.

I keep photos and descriptions in desktop files, because even my OOAK items (books, patterns, postage lots) will repeat since they are commercial products.

didn't get invited, but I don't sell anything in the listed categories anyway so I'm not really missing out anything lol

@zee-chan

I sell in that category from time to time. From now on I'll sign up for them when I find them. If something sells, bonus!!! Not going to jump through hoops. Getting way too old for that!!! Fingers crossed though for anyone else that does qualify and hits the limited time only special offer sweepstakes!! Like Obi-Wan-Kenobi was known to say...."May the force be with you."
