Ebay wants to try to boost sales before the end of the 2nd quarter which is tomorrow.
OK but what was the reason for the promo last week or the week before or the week before that or the one that they handed out in May or April which were nowhere near the end of a fiscal quarter?
Obviously the reason for these discount offers is to increase sales and bring in new buyer, there is no other reason to do them but since they have been offering variations of these almost weekly for the past few months I doubt it has anything to do with the upcoming end of the quarter.
There is a similar one in the US in conjunction with the July 4th holiday.
It's just as likely that they have taken the money they were giving out in TRS Plus discounts which were not really doing anything except going into the pockets of the sellers who received them and instead giving that money to buyers in hopes of generating sales.
