New Listing Promo April 22-26 Invitation 1,000 Fixed Price or Auction - New listings

[pocomocomputing]

New promo, need to activate, new listings.

http://pages.ebay.ca/promo/2015/0422/ListFree.html

As usual, the ebay.ca offer has a typo in the details. At the top it says 5, 7, 10 and 30 days duration but later on it says 5, 7, 10 days. It appears 30 days are included for Fixed price based on the USA version of the promo here

Please read the details carefully. I assume Sell Similar will defeat the New listings restriction but have not tried it. Be sure to not use Relist as that will most likely not work with this Promo.

This promo just showed up in My ebay Promotional offers. I saw it by chance. I clicked to activate from My eBay Promotional Offers. No email or eBay message received yet. These show up usually in the second day of the promo if at all.

I got this one on all the id's that I didn't get last weeks.

I just tested it. 

Relisted 20 unsold items on eBay.com using the bulk "Sell Similar" function - and revising them from GTC to 30 days.  All 20 were charged $0.00 and correctly applied against the promotion.

I am just having some fun as my eBay store is still "on vacation" and these listings will not appear anywhere!

While I miss the cash flow, I do not know when I will re-open my store, if I ever do.  I really enjoy not having to worry about listing, invoicing, shipping, answering inquiries, etc... 

Retirement is not a bad thing!

Pierre: I just did bulk relisting on 9 unsold items, and all were free. Did your "activate" go through?

[pierrelebel]

"Did your "activate" go through?"

Yes, first thing I did before relisting.

I got it too but I'm going on a trip so won't utilize it. Hope a new promo will pop up when I come back! 😃

The email from eBay came in today (Apr 22) at 5:13pm (Eastern)

It was sent by eBay:

Why not list auctions for 10 days.  That way you might have some sales while you are away......unless you are going to be away for more than that time frame.

"I assume Sell Similar will defeat the New listings restriction"

Very likely. In other words, it's all the same unsold dog**bleep** being listed yet again. I didn't even need to know there was a new promo starting. I could tell by all the **bleep** being listed that I've seen hundreds of times before.

Have a great time!

I got it by checking my Promotional Offers on a daily basis just to make sure and it came up, never got the announcement in my email at all.  Glad to get it and nearly done 1000/1000.  Smile.

This is strange... did not get this promo or the one before that. And I'm usually invited to at least one if not both. This sucks, because I could really use it!
