Hi if I set a promotion rate of 5% and leave it like that for 2 months. And then one day I change it to 2% and it sells... am I charged an average or something? Or am I charged 2%
I passed the 90 days, the whatever thousands of dollars, the number of happy buyers etc. I had NO holds at all except for one or two short audits. Now I called up and found out the paypal hold was due to eBay saying I hadn't passed those requirements...
