This is what I got

Unfortunately, you can no longer sign up for this promotional offer because it has expired.

That's what it said for me as well.

It's a generic offer that ebay.ca has been reusing since November? of last year. Probably because of all the screwups they had with bad dates when they were making offers last year using the copy-and-paste method.

So all the details are the same but the dates are now unspecified. The invited eBay IDs have the date range set for them. In my case, my invite is for March 13 to March 19.

Folks that get the "this offer has expired" have had the offer at least once in the past (so the dates associated with the eBay ID are old). Those that get "by invitation only" have never had this offer.

Finally an explanation for expired message that makes sense. Thanks. eBay would never figure that out.

I have it as an issue in mj list of issues for the coming weekly sessions.

yea says the same thing, you can not sign up as this has expired..

zee-chan · ‎03-13-2017

Huh. Worked for me, which is interesting because I think I accepted every promo last year so I was expecting an expired message when I clicked it...

recped · ‎03-13-2017

It was in the promo section of My eBay, I activated from there, not from the promo page.

I got it which I am very glad, just wish they would offer up to 5,000 like a few months ago. I have lots of items that I need to post. And with 5,000 free listing promos the last time, I sold lots of items than during my 500/1000 free monthly listings!! So eBay please, please send us 5,000 free listings promos again! Thanks.
