    With thanks to purpleroses on the debt free wannabe board.

    http://pages.ebay.co.uk/promos/0IF_100218/index.html

    As usual private sellers only.

    This time I would urge all sellers to read the full announcement before listing so we can avoid people being charged for listing items that were ineligible.

    Just to make sure please note it does say:

    All items listed with professional tools, such as "Turbo Lister", “Bulk relisting tool” and "Sales Manager Pro" are excluded from this promotion.

    This is probably the other condition that differs as well this time:

    Items which are listed using the Auction-style format with a Reserve Price will be excluded from this promotion.

    Then another week of people saying 'why was I charged and can I sue ebay to get my listing costs back'.

  • Of course, it would save all the problems if Ebay didn't make things more complicated than they need to be in order to catch people out.

    A simple 'no business or power sellers' would be more appropriate.
    What is happening to the English Language? These are not isolated, but repeated every day.
    'Definate', 'Aswell', 'Rediculous', 'Payed'...and the best of all 'Could Of'. How can anyone think that 'Could Of' can actually mean anything. You may as well write 'Could Zebra' for all the sense it makes.

    Just got my email from eBay and doublechecked as I got caught on a couple of items last time :mad:
  • I've read through the t & c three times now and can't see the sentence about 'professional listing tools' being excluded.

    Is Auctiva classified as a professional listing tool?

    Thanks

    Please can you tell me where it says
    All items listed with professional tools, such as "Turbo Lister", “Bulk relisting tool” and "Sales Manager Pro" are excluded from this promotion.

    I have read the conditions 3 times and cannot see it.
    Thanks

    Believe me, the phrase:

    All items listed with professional tools, such as "Turbo Lister", “Bulk relisting tool” and "Sales Manager Pro" are excluded from this promotion.

    was there about an hour or so ago when I first read through the t's & c's - but I can't see it either now!
