eBay bucks in 2017

[Exhibitman]

I never get the promo emails; in fact I got an email offering me a promo rate as a seller, went to sign up, and was told I didn't qualify!

Yep, that's me with the bag of rocks on Halloween.

I am not a big buyer on Ebay compared to what is being said in this thread and I won/bought 6 auctions this last quarter for small amounts. But, I received many bonus offers and took advantage of the ones with no minimum purchase amount. I used bonus offers on 3 of my 6 items.

I'm very happy with the 1% no minimum changes. Other than bonus offers, I never reached the $5.00 minimum amount to collect. 1% of something is always more than 2% of nothing. I do realize if you were meeting the minimum, you are losing half of what you would have gotten.

If you're talking about the one with the 5% FVF on sales over $50, those didn't work for anyone. I called them and they said they were working the problem, and that any ones I listed at the time that qualified would get the promotion.

I receive promo emails from eBay somewhat frequently re the opportunity to get extra eBay bucks, which I am happy to take advantage of.

Yesterday, I received an eBay promo email re the opportunity to pay only a $10 Final Value Fee on the first 5 items listed during the promo period that sold for more than $100. This prompted me to decide list a few $300 - $600 cards that I have been thinking of selling/trading. However, when I proceeded to try to activate this promo offer, I received this message from eBay: "Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only." WTF?!!

Just like I posted directly above, call them and they will retroactively put your items under the offer.
