Is this what Ebay calls - The Ultimate Selling Weekend

List five items and pay only $1 in selling fees. Whoopee Meanwhile our USA friends get 100 or even 500 free listing promos each month. Canada needs to hire a new marketing person who dreams up this stuff. Maybe if more Ebay employees actually sold goods on Ebay themselves they would see how ludicrous this Ultimate Weekend **bleep** really is.

Thanks for heads up. Nothing in my eBay mail as of yet but offer cannot be activated until Nov 2nd if it is available. Tis nice when you get a advanced notice about these possible "exciting" offers.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I have some higher priced items to list and this would help a lot. Just hope I get an invite as I haven't received a good promo offer in awhile.

That's no more than an excuse for a promo...next to useless.

goldnideas · ‎10-30-2018

I got nothing, and all year it was next to nothing. Can use some free listing.

momcqueen · ‎10-30-2018

Well, it’s better than a kick in the pants.

zee-chan · ‎10-31-2018

I did got this offer in my e-mail. It's better than nothing.

skylarstuff · ‎10-31-2018

Better than nothing of course..........But when our USA friends get 100 or even 500 free listings each and every month its disgraceful for us Canadians to get these crumbs. But life goes on.

"Final value fees will still be applied to the total amount of the sale including the cost of the item, shipping, and any other fees a seller may charge—excluding any sales tax. However, the final value fee will be $1 per item sold (excluding taxes and shipping)."

As it has been a couple of years since my last sale of a higher priced item on eBay, I have little faith in this promo being of any use to me, but I'll use the promo for something...

The text in bold and underlined is quite contradictory no?

No it's not.

Final value fees (plural) will still be applied on both cost of item and on shipping.

Final value fee on value of item sold is $1.

Final value fee on shipping still applies. Except for free domestic shipping (no FVF).

And ebay sales tax is still added to any final value fees.

@skylarstuff

Sorry but I list on dotCOM and they get the same 50 Free Listings a month as non-Store sellers do here.

Could you show a link to one of those promotions with hundreds of free listings?

Perhaps you don't understand this promo. Useless? No way. In August I ran an auction for an item that sold for over $700. I saved $80 in fees from that promo.

Not useless.

I've got an item to list this weekend for $2200.....

skylarstuff · ‎11-01-2018

This was for 100 Auction or fixed ended Sept 17 the link does not show much as its a generic one but I assure you it was a legit promo. I list on USA com as well but never get invited, but my friends in the USA do all the time each and every month a min of 100 listings.

This was for 100 Auctions with buy it now ended Sept 8
https://pages.ebay.com/promo/lcp/Auction100.html

I will try and get the link for Oct which if memory serves me well it was for 500 free listings.
Problem I am having is since the promos are over and not live generic screens are coming up.

skylarstuff · ‎11-01-2018

Here is a link for the 500 free listings Oct 22 could not find the Ebay one as it expired

https://www.ecommercebytes.com/2018/10/22/ebay-runs-free-listing-promo-as-holiday-shopping-ramps/

Go to the bottom of the link and you will see a seller mentioning also a promo for 100 free listings

7 days, no insertion fees:100 extra fixed priced listings!

Start: Oct 25, 2018 at 4:01 pm PDT End: Oct 31, 2018 at 11:59 pm PDT

If listing on ebay.COM go to

My eBay (on .COM) >> Account >> Communication Preferences >> Promotions and Surveys

Make sure the Seller email promotions is checked off to get "emails about seller specials like fee and listing discounts"

Do you get .com promotions? I used to but they stopped once this site changed to $C only. I still list on both sites although mostly on .com.

skylarstuff · ‎11-01-2018

In my case I got a few .com promos after the C$ change over but then it all suddenly stopped and have not received any since. I have a lot of USA based Ebay friends and they tell me about all of the promos they are getting EACH month while us Canadians hardly get any. If any of you reading this thinks that the promos stopped because Ebay did not want to flood their site you are wrong.

pjcdn2005 · ‎11-01-2018

I know that there are still list sting promos on.com but I also know that there are always sellers there complaining that they never get them.

No. But then my promo email notification on the .com side wasn't turned on -- which I discovered when reading up about this side thread. I turned it on today -- will see if that makes any difference in the future.
