For those of us who weren't keen on listing in $Cdn last time, there is another promotion running (by invitation only) that appeared in my Seller Summary page this morning. As usual, I received no notification via eBay Messages - not yet anyway.

Note that it excludes 1 and 3-day duration listings, but does include auction, auction with Buy It Now, as well as fixed price, and it runs for longer than many promos. Be sure to read all the details. This one will be useful!

http://pages.ebay.ca/promo/2015/1119/1000Listings.html

From the info page:

"Invited sellers who activate the offer and then create a listing in the auction-style format, auction-style with Buy It Now format, or fixed price format, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein ("Qualifying Listing"), will pay no insertion fee per item listed ("Promotion") for up to 1,000 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 free listings per month as part of the everyday rate plan.

The Promotion does not apply to listings with 1-day or 3-day duration, 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, bold, 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."

Sorry, it appears it may also apply to listings on .com (although the item in my Promotional bar on the Summary page mentions only .ca and cafr😞

Sellers will automatically receive the Promotion after they activate the Promotion from the invitation email or the Promotion landing page, and then create Qualifying Listings on the US site at www.ebay.com, eBay Motors at www.ebay.com/motors (Parts & Accessories and Automotive Tools & Supplies only), or eBay Canada at www.ebay.ca through the Sell Your Item form, eBay Seller Tools, eBay Mobile applications, and most third-party tools.

On the other hand, this might be the usual eBay promo confusion, because the previous paragraph states:

When is it?

This Promotion will begin on Thursday, November 19, 2015, at 00:00:01 ET (12:00AM plus one second), and will end on Sunday, November 29, 2015, at 23:59:59 ET (11:59PM plus 59 seconds), for listings on www.ebay.ca (the "Promotion Period").

And further on:

The following categories are excluded: eBay Motors Passenger Vehicles, Motorcycles, Boats, Power Sports, Other Vehicles, Motors Local Market, Real Estate, Classified Ad Listings, Heavy Equipment, Concession Trailers & Carts, Imaging & Aesthetics Equipment, and Commercial Printing Presses.

This doesn't make a lot of sense. I'd do a test before putting up too many listings on .com....

Posted last night just 40 minutes after it started at midnight last night.

I do see it on eBay.ca Promotional Listings and on eBay.com Promotional listing so it is offered on both sites.

That's normal. You will see the promo information for .com on your .com summary page.

I had a feeling we were going to get a promotion soon and usually check the Seller's Board first because someone always gets it before me. There was nothing there so, just before I went to bed, I decided to check my Selling Manager and there it was. I didn't realize it was only 40 minutes after it started Actually it was only 11:40 in Winnipeg.

I hope most of you got it!
