This a generic promo that has been run several times this year.

The promo dates are tied to your eBay account -- so if it is not showing in the Promotions section when viewed on eBay.CA (offer will not show if viewed on .com) and no email -- then you do not have the invite this time.

Valid for 5, 7 and 10 day AUCTIONS

BIN is free for the promo -- but might get a listing fee if renewed after the promo is over.

Happy that I got this promo, but unfortunately my laptop died... listing with my IPad is going to be difficult...

Been there, fell for that. When I used Auction format to sell things five years ago, I more than once used a Promo like this to 'add Fixed Price to the listing for free' only to forget it was there on Relist and pay a fortune the next time. Be + aware = beware.

Excellent for those who can use the promo.

BFD for those who, for various reasons, can not. 

[amandabalmain]

Seriously CONFUSED!!! I got the promo --- email said 500... but only shows 250 available in my dash board... anyone else have this oddity???

[amandabalmain]

And now the glitch is over and the proper #'s are showing 🙂

Note listing needs to be for 10 days

[momcqueen]

To be eligible for the Promotion, the Auction excludes 1-day and 3-day listing durations. Or so it says. Which would mean any five- seven- or ten-day auction should be eligible. 

When I look at my own Promo History, however, I see only ten-day auctions being logged. I don't know if this is because that is the only auction duration that arose for renewal after the offer was activated, or if there's some kind of glitch. I'll know later today or tomorrow if my other auctions are being logged as part of the promo or not.

All of mine (so far) are 7 day (and free).

[momcqueen]

Yes, I've had some others come up for renewal now and they too are seven-days and free.

I got it. Wish they would offer for com too.  Notice lately they don't offer for ca and com at the same time anymore.  Very disappointing.  Need free promos for 5000 or more, hopefully next time or the very near up coming months.  When I am done with 500, my thumbs twirling and waiting until the next month for my 500/1000. 

I am NOT willing to pay the insert fees anymore seeing that they are going to start to charge us taxes and the way I figure it is taking 1/4 each time.  100.00, they take $25.00, so on.

" seeing that they are going to start to charge us taxes"

?????

Are you suggesting that with those thousands of listings you often refer to, and your posts over  the years suggesting you are a very experienced businessperson with substantial volume of business, you are not even selling Cdn$ 30,000 yearly?

I find that hard to believe.

And resurrected again for June 16 to June 25.

Cool. So we get to see all the same dog**bleep** listed again that was listed from May 27 to June 5 that didn't sell. 

If at first it doesn't sell, relist it 5000 times.

Exactly.

One reason GTC is a popular listing choice for sellers.

I'm lucky that my listings caught an eager buyer this time around. The buyer bought four listings, three of them at buy-it-now price (30% higher than starting bid) and one she won with one bid.
