NON-STORE SELLERS --List FREE - 200 auction-style or fixed priced listings on .COM

[mrdutch1001]

Have Non-store sellers checked their Promotional offers section in Seller Hub?

There was a post about this promo on the dotCOM boards earlier today but never thought much about it...until a short while ago when I checked Seller Hub & found the promo.

I have activated it and it all looks good but not planning on listing anything for another week or so...

Looks like this promo is good until April 30th

I think the last time I got a listing promo on dotCOM was a couple of years ago...

Fellow non-store sellers give it a try and see how it goes. Good luck to all!

yes your link works with many thanks

The link worked ... many thanks.

Thanks. Just when I was thinking of shutting down. By the way does anyone know if we can continue on ebay and still get help from the govt? I read somewhere you had to have no income for 14 days? Wish they'd clarify/give details on self employed folks. Can't afford to shut down if no funding is coming. I'm getting a bit fed up with the lack of details 11 days after getting laid off.

BTW, there is a second dotCOM promo that has shown up, a twin to the first one,  but who knows if that one is simply a glitch and will disappear.

I have them both activated, but am just not ready to put any listings up yet...

Sorry know nothing about the Gov't assistance thing...a senior here and not a business,  just a casual seller. Hopefully someone else will have more info on that for you.

Call your MPs office. 

You don't actually need the MP, if she's any good at her job her staff will also be competent.

Wow it activated for me on .COM! That's the exact amount I suggested during the weekly session!!

Nice that it's good till April 30th. I'll use them closer to mid/late April to see if I'm healthy enough to do so then lol. It's how to tell how things will look like right now.

I got it twice too, weird. Still don't know if I'll use it. To get the Canada Emergency Response Benefit, ebay may become nothing but a memory.

Ebay is now a memory. Pulled all my listings yesterday.

Back on topic...
I have a store, and note the offer was present on my 'Promotional Offers' list this morning.
I don't need it, as I'm still using my ridiculous '50,000 offer' from last week, but activated it anyway.

[mrdutch1001]

interesting...have you had the eBay store long time or was that a recent investment?

Seems to me there were mentions on dotCOM boards about same thing happening, but that/those sellers thinking it was because it was a recent store sign up...

The problem I have now, is that I have so many offers overlapping, that my monthly store promotions that I pay for are not being used. Everytime I post new listings or they are turned over from GTC they are using & deducting from the free offers instead of my store. So basically these offers are useless if you are already paying for a store. Unless you go over your allotted numbers. With my store subscription I have 1000 free BIN & 500 Auction which are not being touched. I should not have accepted them & they should not have been offered to store sellers.

I opened the store in spring of 2015.

Before and after:

 I only have 231 listings, so don't need the extra thousands of free listings.

Call me stupid! Wish I had a few thousand more items to list.

Don't forget to cipher through the mess in 29 days and 59 minutes.

I rarely use fixed price format anymore...I was one of those annoyed sellers that much preferred the optional duration times as 7 & 10 day always had worked best for me and for the categories in which I list. Mostly use 5 & 7 day auctions now with buy it now option. Whenever I do list fixed price format these days,  I end those listings somewhere in the 10-16 day time frame.

Guess I will answer my own comment about the 2nd Promo of 200 free listings on DotCOM...

the 2nd promo is good and legit...I have just begun to use some of the listings from it.

PLUS I still have the April allotment of 50 free listings...

I should have enough listings to keep me going for the month of April by adding some every day for the rest of the month...
