Just came to post about the promo too.

 

To make the best out of it, list 5 days auctions tonight (read: in 3 hours and 5 minutes), then list 10 days auctions afterwards. It's by invitation as well so check to make sure you got this promo before listing. 

 


What is the promotion?

 

Invited sellers who create a listing in the auction-style format or auction-style with Buy It Now format, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein (“Qualifying Listing”), will pay no insertion fee per item listed and no additional fee for adding 10-day Duration to these listings (“Promotion”) for up to 9,999 listings during the Promotion Period (as defined below). 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. The Promotion is in addition to the monthly insertion fee promotion, and/or any other insertion fees that are included as part of your Store subscription.

 

5, 7, and 10-day listing durations are included in this Promotion. The Promotion does not apply to final value fees or optional upgrade fees. Final value fees will be applied to the total amount of the sale, including the cost of the item, shipping, and any other fees a seller may charge—excluding any sales tax. Fees for optional listing upgrades (such as reserve price, Gallery Plus, listing in 2 categories, etc.) still apply. For listing in 2 categories, you will be charged at standard rates for the second category. Please note: Not all upgrades are available in all listing flows.

Re: New Promotion Just Received - Auction Style Aug 14-20

I am curious.

 

How many sellers here have actually received the invitation from eBay?

 

How did you receive it?  email? or through "my messages"?

Re: New Promotion Just Received - Auction Style Aug 14-20

I have the promotion, never received anything in email or my messages. Had to go to "All Selling" to find it. But that is usual. I think I have been adivised once or twice by email or messages about the promotion.

By eBay messages and early, 2 hours before it started.

Normally, no message or email and if one arrives, 6 to 24 hours after it starts.

I have to rely on forum posts or promotions in my eBay to know since eBay messages and email are totally unreliable.

I didn't receive it Pierre, but it doesn't really bother me. I rarely use auctions. I have found that when the auction closes with no bids, I put it in my store, and it often sells quite quickly.

 

I have only ever had one invitation by email, all the rest I find in my selling manager.

That's exactly what usually happens for me.  If I were to wait for an eBay message, I'd always be losing out on at least one day of the promo.

I'm also eligible for the promotion but did not receive an email or ebay message. I did get an email for the promotion starting on August 4th but I think that it is the only promotion email that I've received in the last few months even though I have been invited to the many of them.

To all members who are eligible to the promotion but did not receive an email message from eBay:

Have you checked your "preferences" to make sure you are allowing eBay to send you marketing emails?

Both, actually in 3 ways, it include in my ebay summary on left side on bottom. The last one by email message was late which I got this morning but the first 2 were received just before the auction started. I am happy to get it after no promo for fixed price auction last week. Thanks eBay. Actually I wish the listings would be free all the time, no insertion fees at any time which would be much easier, which I am sure that many of us wish to have that daily, than waiting for the so-called "invited". I doubt it was send by "randomly" as the customer service claimed because one of my friends in USA told me that she cannot get any free listings promos due to her low seller performance, etc., the way I see it is NOT send by randonly as eBay claimed.
