It appears to be working! I set up two as tests, a general 10% off and a 20% off for 2 or more items (until the end of the weekend). We'll see what happens!

Correction****Being Another mouse in the eBay maze of find/test the new features as they magically appear!!! eBay Canada needs as many mice as we can supply!!! Wonder if and when we will see an official announcement for this? The January 2025 announcement was very vague to release date approximation.

Yay, just tried it.

If I'm reading the small print correctly, eBay will pay us the non-discounted amount (as a normal sale) then, after the coupon time ends, bill/deduct the 'coupon savings' amount back.

busybeas_books · ‎03-21-2025

When a qualifying Coupon recipient redeems a Coupon for the purchase of an Eligible Item, the Seller will receive payment for the Eligible Item equal to the non-discounted price of the Eligible Item as if no Coupon were used for the purchase. At the end of the Coupon Validity Period, eBay will then invoice Seller for the total Seller Funded Amount for all the Coupons that were redeemed, up to the maximum amount of the Seller Cap as defined in the Program Terms (if any). Seller will be invoiced for the total Seller Funded Amount for their portion of coupon funding of all eligible sales from thirty (30) to forty-five (45) days after the end of the Coupon Validity Period.

For clarification, this Agreement does not change any fees due from Seller to eBay, Seller shall also pay eBay’s fees as set forth in the eBay Policies and any other agreement between Seller and eBay, all of which will be based on the non-discounted price and final value of Eligible Items, even if a Coupon was redeemed.

So final value fees are based on the non-coupon price?

Are coupons for all sellers or only store owners ?

Store only.

Maybe that's still in reference to eBay issued coupons? If you scroll to the bottom of the page it says it was last updated 07.08.2024. So it's possile that they haven't added the new user created coupons to the terms yet.

I had a coupon sale this morning. As far as I can tell, they took the coupon amount out immediately. The available funds appear to show the amount with the coupon applied.

Congrats. Still in testing mode here. Were your total seller fees based on the price before coupon with shipping and any applicable tax? Did it show coupon applied on packing slip? And if it was an international sale, what value did eBay use for customs?

I am very excited about this feature. I plan to sit down this weekend and figure out the best strategies.

I have a few thousand pieces of media to list that I have been putting off to focus on other things, especially with CDs, I could see buy x get y free being very successful - so it certainly gives me motivation to start listing.

ilikehockeyjerseys · ‎03-21-2025

There is always a catch...

With that said, it is still going to be a net positive. I look at it like promoted listings. You'd cry if I told you how much I pay every month for promotions, but all that matters is that I get value back for what I pay.

Yes, the seller fees were applied on the amount before coupon. The coupon does show on the packing slip as a seperate line item. It was a domestic sale. Interestingly though, I just had an international sale and there was NO COUPON applied. I wonder if they only apply domestically if you list on dot ca?

ricarmic · ‎03-21-2025

Yep the discussion prompted me to try an experimental one too, I've got half my stuff on .COM so I could have run one there but now I've done a multi site coupon to see if I can move "small" stuff in bulk.... time will tell!

I think international people can use them, however they need to buy the items on .ca to be able to see/use the coupon. I have used .com coupons before but they dont show on the listing when I browse on .ca first. So I am in the habit now of changing the URL to .com for a quick check before I purchase anything in case seller has a coupon on the other site. I would venture to say most people don't use the .ca site, so not sure how much traction it will get without a bit of advertisement expecially if using a private coupon (I might put soemething in packages to my regulars, havent thought that far ahead yet)

I got a sale for 4 items to 1 buyer who used the 5% off coupon and the i also checked and the fees are based on the full total of the original order before the coupon.

ricarmic · ‎03-21-2025

I can confirm that one ONLY sees the coupon on the "domestic" site. My .CA coupons are only visible on .CA items, the .COM coupons are only visible on .COM items.

I set up a buy 3 get one free and it appears to not work. At checkout it gives a message saying some items are not eligable, whcih is untrue in the case we tested.
