Please note: Invited sellers must activate the Promotion by selecting “Activate offer” in the invitation email or on the Promotion landing page. Items listed prior to a seller activating the Promotion will not be eligible for the Promotional Rate.

*Final value and optional advanced listing upgrade and supplemental service fees apply. No guarantee is made that any item will sell at a particular price, or at all.

 

What is the Promotion?
Invited sellers (“Sellers”) who activate the offer and then create a listing in the auction-style format, auction-style with Buy it Now format, or fixed price format, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein (“Qualifying Listing”), will pay no insertion fee per item ("Promotion") for up to 500 listings during the Promotion Period (as defined below). All existing selling limits on your account (as well as category and item limits) still apply, and may prevent you from creating the maximum number of listings in this Promotion. The Promotion is in addition to the free listings per month as part of the everyday rate plan.

The Promotion excludes items listed in 1-day or 3-day duration. It does not apply to final value fees or optional advanced listing upgrade and supplemental service fees. Final value fees will 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. Fees for optional listing upgrades (such as reserve price, Gallery Plus, listing in 2 categories, etc.) still apply. For listing in 2 categories, you will be charged at standard rates for the second category. Please note: Not all upgrades are available in all listing flows.

Any listings created prior to the time of activation will not be eligible for the Promotion. For sellers listing with any tool other than the latest version of the Sell Your Item form (SYI 3.0), the Promotional Rate may not be shown during the listing process. Instead, the discount will be reflected in the "Seller Account” section in My eBay, under the Account tab, as well as in your next invoice.

Thanks for posting this.  I received the invitation in my inbox today.  It seems it's been a very, very long time since we've had any .com promos (or perhaps I just haven't been invited as I always used to be). 

 

In any case, they aren't giving them out by the tens of thousands anymore, which may actually be a good thing.

Well I logged on to the ebay.com side and once I see in my account it shows 50 free listings for the month of Feb so when I try to relist an item it takes me back to the  ebay.ca site  

Even tried for the 500 free listings on ebay.com once I try to active it takes me to the Canadian side  what a bummer I gets ther closing the loop holes thus we cant list on both sides.

Oh well less listing less possible sales less money for ebay.

 

Time to keep listing on kijiji its free and when I get a buyer for an item and sells no fees.

 

Ebay has become a dinosaur and we all know what happened to the dinosaurs

Listings are site specific.

 

If a listing was originally made on eBay,CA in Cdn$ it can only be relisted on .CA

 

A listing made on eBay.COM in US$ can only be relisted on .COM

 

If you want to switch a listing to another site to take advantage of free listings then you have to set the listing up from new.

Yes!  I got it and am so glad as there are nearly 500 items sitting in the unsold inventory for nearly 3 months and was able to relisted them before they disappeared!!  Thanks eBay!  Wish they offer 1000 or more the next time!!

I actually recived this offer today, I have not decided if I will even bother to activate it as the shear effort required to relist 500 items on .com is not really worth it, I actually let all my outstanding USD listings get cancelled by ebay when they discontinued USD listings.

 

I am putting my effort into my own direct site and social media. Amazon is also in the works.

 

Ebay have finally succeeded in making me as both a Buyer and Seller seriously reconsider my commitment to this site. Nothing ever works correctly, the shipping cart checkout system is a total disaster.

 

The whole migration tool was a monumental joke!

 

I will wait to see what happens over the next few months before I go listing mad on this site, for now I will streamline all my listings.
