Please note: Invited sellers must activate the Promotion by selecting “Activate offer” in the invitation email or on the Promotion landing page. Items listed prior to a seller activating the Promotion will not be eligible for the Promotional Rate.

What is the Promotion?
Invited sellers (“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 ("Promotion") for up to 500 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 excludes items listed in 1-day or 3-day duration. It does not apply to final value fees or optional advanced listing upgrade and supplemental service 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.

Who’s eligible?
This Promotion is available to invited sellers who: (i) received an email and/or message in My eBay; (ii) activated the promotion from the invitation email or on the Promotion landing page; and (iii) meet eBay’s minimum seller performance standards. Please sign in to My eBay and view your Seller Dashboard to verify whether your account is currently meeting the standards.

When is it?
This Promotion will begin on the date specified in the message you received through email or eBay Message Center, at 00:00:01 PT (12:00AM plus one second), and will end on the date specified in the message you received through e-mail or eBay Message Center, at 23:59:59 PT (11:59PM plus 59 seconds), for listings on www.ebay.com (the "Promotion Period").

How do I activate the Promotion?
Sellers that have been invited to participate 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 or eBay Motors at www.ebay.com/motors (Parts & Accessories and Automotive Tools & Supplies only) through the Sell Your Item form, eBay Seller Tools, eBay Mobile applications, and most third-party tools. Any listings created prior to the time of activation will not be eligible for the Promotion. For sellers listing with any tool other than the latest version of the Sell Your Item form (SYI 3.0), the Promotional Rate may not be shown during the listing process. Instead, the discount will be reflected in the "Seller Account” section in My eBay, under the Account tab, as well as in your next invoice.

EBay wants more listings.

I guess the quarterly report is coming up and they want to get the punter excited.

Did not get this offer.

 

Strange that #2

And #5

Good ‘Til Cancelled listings that renew during the Promotion Period are eligible for the Promotion.

Say the opposite thing, or am I not reading it right?

No. 2 is saying that if you use the promotion for a gtc listing and it renews a month later, that renewal will either come out of your monthly free listings or you will get charged.  In other words just because you start a gtc listing during a promotion doesn't mean that it will be renewed month after month for free.

 

No. 5 is saying that if you already had a gtc listing running and it renewed during the promotion period, it would count as one of your promotion listings.

 

Does that help?

Oh man, what a dummy I am, I saw the words GTC renewals will count towards your monthly allotment, then GTC listings that renew are eligible.

 

Another fine gentleman also sent me the correct explanation through ebay messages, he reminded me that there are times, when we must reread the promotions a few times sometimes to get the full gist.

 

I quit smoking on valentines day, and all heck seems to have broken out. I humbly apologize if I have said anything to offend anyone. Thanks again for all the help.

You’ve not offended anyone but more importantly CONGRATULATIONS! That’s the hardest, biggest thing you could ever do. I wish you success with this, it’s absolutely worth it. Fifteen years on Feb 25 for me.
