Yep! Yes sir!!!!!

I got it for my store subscription.  I was anxious and impatient for this free promo as I need to relist my items that have been sitting in the inventory for more than 30 days after I was done with 500/500.  Yippeee!!

Still hoping for an email for my store or even for my non-store account! Just purchased tons of stock and need to list items!

Thanks for always posting these announcements here Pierre. I, for one, really appreciate it. There seems to be some problem with eBay's messaging system. I often do not receive the email saying I'm eleible, or once I received it on last day of a 4-day promotion (grrr), so now I don't wait.  I just check this board every day in case you have the announcement posted and then give it a try on a new listing. So far, whether or not I have received the "invitiation" from eBay, I get the promotion..... and that is the case today, for example. Who knows if I'll get this current email or not.....just another heads up to sellers who may think they don't qualify when they do!

You are correct.  There are some problems in notification to sellers.

This time I received two promotion notifications: one for each of my selling IDs (one registered on eBay.com and one registered on eBay.ca).  Sometimes only one or the other User ID is invited, sometimes both, sometimes neither.

The eBay.ca notification was received at noon (Eastern time) yesterday by email 

The eBay.com notification was only received this morning through a posting in "my messages" (no email).

For whatever reasons, the system is very inconsistent. It has been inconsistent for many years now and, quite frankly, I expect no improvement as eBay does not really care about those types of problems..

Didn't receive this one this time. 😞

We  have never received an invitation for these free listing days but

apparently we are eligible because we will do a test listing to see if we

will get the free promotion and sure enough we do.

Even if you did not get an invitation, do a test listing and see if

eBay includes you in the free promotion.

Remember, this one is for Fixed Price auctions only.

Thanks.

I tried a test listing, and it didn't work out for me. *sighs*

Nice promotion. To bad the items barely get any exposure! and if they sell, ebay overcharges on their fvf fees, scams a fee for shipping, scams another couple of points on payment and provides no customer service for sellers

"ebay overcharges on their fvf fees, scams a fee for shipping, scams another couple of points on payment and provides no customer service for sellers "

If you really feel this way, why do you bother selling on eBay and using PayPal as a method of payment?

Can't you find another venue where to sell your products?

Anyone doing a "test" - it might show "0" insertion fee because you are using up your 50 free lsitings. This is what is happening to me on .ca

[nan*55]

Missed me

"We  have never received an invitation for these free listing days"

Many sellers do not receive promotional messages from eBay.  In addition to problems originating from eBay, often it can be traced to sellers not letting eBay communicate with them.

Check your Communications Preferences

Under Promotions and Surveys, make sure that the following boxes have been ticked:

- General email promotions

- Seller email promotions

- Postal mail catalogs and promotions

- Phone updates and promotions

There is nothing to gain by not selecting these boxes.

Don't ask silly questions like this. Especially from someone that was rewarded with a big stick from ebay as a whatever it was only later to hear you cry with your tail between your legs when you got a neutreul or something and Ebay wouldn't listen/get to your side.Proper ...... TEHE!  This is nothing but about the money. Everything else is a side show including the forums on this venue. ebay has no respect for their sellers contrary to what what you might want to believe so please enlighten me why I should have any respect for them?
