Same here. The Learn More link leads to a dead end.

Would be nice to know what the qualifying categories are?

Yes: qualifying categories would be the important part of the promo..... I wonder how long the link will remain dead.

Well, that doesn't meet any of my criteria but I activated my offer nonetheless before I knew what categories were eligible. Thanks for the info.

NEW PROMO OFFER

I had about two dozen listings renew themselves today after activating the Offer and none were counted in it.

 

So, without knowing what criteria need to be met, I can only assume:

 

(a) Toys are ineligible OR

(b) relists are ineligible OR

(c) GTC are ineligible OR

(d) the item isn't counted unless it's sold

 

Nothing sold today to test the latter possibility.

 

Link to 'learn more' is still dead.

Details came via Messages:

 

*Insertion and optional upgrade fees apply.  No guarantee is made that any item will sell at a particular price, or at all.

Please note: Eligible 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. 

What is the Promotion?
Invited sellers (“Sellers”) who activate the offer and then list in a Qualifying Category* in the fixed price format, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein, will receive a 25% discount on final value fees (“Promotional Rate”) for the first 1,000 sold items, that were listed during the Promotion Period, as defined below (the “Promotion”). Only fixed price listings in 30-day or Good ‘Til Cancelled  durations are eligible for the Promotion. The Promotion does not apply to insertion fees or optional advanced listing upgrade and supplemental service fees. Discounted final value fees will be applied to the total amount of the sale, including the cost of the item and shipping, excluding any sales tax. 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. View the everyday rate plan for full details.

  1. Home & Garden > Tools > Power Tools (3247)
  2. Clothing, Shoes & Accessories > Women’s Shoes > Boots (53557)

Please note that discounted final value fees will be applied to the seller’s first 1,000 sold items, for a listing that was created during the Promotion Period, after the seller activates the offer. 

Who’s eligible?
This Promotion is available to invited sellers who: (i) received an email and/or message in My eBay; (ii) activated the promotion from the invitation email or on the Promotion landing page; (iii) meet eBay’s minimum seller performance standards.  Please sign in to My eBay and view your seller dashboard to verify whether your account is currently meeting the standards. 

When is it? 
This Promotion starts on Monday, August 22, 2016, at 00:00:01 ET (12:00AM plus one second), and will end on Monday September 12, 2016, at 23:59:59 ET (11:59PM plus 59 seconds) (the “Promotion Period”), for listings on www.ebay.ca

How do I activate the Promotion?
Sellers that have been invited to participate in the Promotion will receive the Promotional Rate after they activate the Promotion, and then create listings in the Qualifying Categories during the Promotion Period with the seller’s qualifying eBay user ID (“Qualifying Listings”). Listings created prior to August 22, 2016, but after a seller activates the Promotion, which are scheduled to start during the Promotion Period, are eligible for the Promotion. Please note, the Promotional Rate may not be shown during the listing process. Instead, the discounted fees will be reflected in the “Seller Account” section in My eBay, under the Account tab, as well as in your next invoice.

Restrictions & Exclusions.

  2. The Promotion does not apply to Canadian listings created with USD selected as the currency. CAD must be selected to be eligible for the fee discount.
  3. This Promotion only applies to the Qualifying Categories listed above. 
  4. All Qualifying Listings must comply with all applicable eBay policies, including eBay’s Duplicate Listing policy that allows for the removal of duplicate fixed price listings.
  5. The Promotion excludes listings created prior to activating the offer and listings with a start date prior to, or after the Promotion Period. However, Good ‘Til Cancelled listings that renew during the Promotion Period are eligible for the Promotion.

For those listings that are in the eligible categories, the count won't change until the item has sold.

That count will then never change for me. None of my existing listings are eligible, and I don't have time when it's back-to-school time to go grab random items from my own closet right now to start listing.
