I just went to My eBay All Selling page on .ca - under promotions at bottom of page, I clicked on "Get Offer" button.

It worked!!!

Just got the promo message now on eBay, tried the link through there and it goes to a completely white screen that loads nothing and goes nowhere.

Just tried using Chrome, logged in on both .ca & .com, still not working.

Clicking on the offer link through Ebay messaging didn't work for me either. Must be a glitch in their promotion!

If you have been invited, try eBay.com

Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only.

Boo. Oh well, I still have my fixed priced listings up from previous promo so it's fine.

I got the go to "white screen" version. Will let you know if I get it to work...

Our invite does not work either.

Did anyone else notice that this is not really a useful promotion but actually a recruitment drive for the GSP?

art-in-the-making · ‎02-05-2015

I hadn't thought of that but it did cross my mind that a side benefit of these promotions for eBay is that if sellers are busy changing listings from BIN to auction and things like that, then they will have less time available to look into listing elsewhere.

And of course the trap of forgetting or failing to change your listings back to BIN

Has there ever been a FREE listing promo where no one has complained???

art-in-the-making · ‎02-06-2015

the contrarian approach would be to list heavy on BINs and avoid the crowds 🙂

btw - "free" is about fair market value for something that doesn't work

There is no GSP in Canada so I don't think they will be able to recruit anyone!

As for being useful.....well I'm going to list 100 per day for the next 7 days for free. Seems rather useful to me.

Have attempted all manner of options and the bottom line is that , for some of us, this promo is flat out broken.

A whole day later now and this still isn't resolved. I appreciate being told by Ebay that they would credit back my fees hwoever it's not worth the headache. The last time I had to go after them for something promised in a phone call I had to spend hours on the phone. Definitely not worth it for a few useless auction listings that won't yield anything but an odd sale or two to on items I choose drop my drawers on as that's all that ever sells via auction style listing.

Another huge fail on Ebay's part!

What good is FREE if you can't avail yourself of it? Not to mention that these FREE items are simply a small inroad into making up for things that Ebay has taken away from sellers.

So thank you very much, but I'll continue to complain about something that doesn't work even if it is FREE.

73rhc · ‎02-06-2015

You can keep complaining. That's free, as well. I curious to know why this doesn't work. And what has eBay taken away from you? What did eBay promise that it didn't deliver? And why can't you avail yourself to it? Seems like you have a lot of constraints.

Some people are apt to complain. If you give them $20, they'll complain that they didn't get $50!!!

What has eBay taken away???
