    Just tested it out. I have none of my monthly allowance left.
    When I listed one item, no fees showed and nothing shows on my selling pages to tell me how many are left.
    So I am guessing it is unlimited for the whole of January!!!!!
    Can someone confirmvthis please?

    It's clearly showing on my private account:

    I'll probably not bother today but may start listing tomorrow if I can be bothered.

    It still doesn't show on my selling pages so there is no way to see how many left /or used. I still can't click on terms and conditions to see if it is for 100 or unlimited as there is no mention in the actual email.
    I am sure there must be a limit.

    I've had the email - it doesn't show on my selling page however.


    Previously, I haven't used my December 20 free listings


    I've just listing three items, and they've come out of my December free listings.


    I don't know if this offer kicks in after the free 20 are used? I haven't got 20 things to list, so I'm not too bothered at this point.


    But it'd be useful if the offer showed on the selling pages.

    Iv'e just done the on-line chat with ebay and the lady told me that they are aware that the 'Get Offer' link has not been activated and they are going to resolve the problem. Should be resolved within 72 hours.

    Yours sounds like a completely different offer- on a number of occasions ebay runs more than one offer at the same time.

  • eBay seems to make different offers individually to sellers, I got
    [FONT=&quot]VALID FROM 26 DECEMBER 2015 TO 04 JANUARY 2016 ONLY [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]NO INSERTION FEES AND A 1p CAP
    ON FINAL VALUE FEES*
    [/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]It says: [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]"This is an invitation-only offer direct from us..." so you may have received a different offer.

    I always check at the bottom of the listing to see if it says £0.00 fees before going further with the listing, sometimes they charge fees if you have variations or multiple quantities. :think:[/FONT]

    My offer is still not showing on my selling pages. I have listed quite a few over the last few days and it always shows as "0.00" charge. But there is no way of knowing how many I have used and how many left.
    I seem to have the same offer as you, soolin. There is no mention of 100 free listings.
    I have just come off chat and the guy said that first they use up the 20 from the monthly allowance. Then I can list as many as I want to till 31st January. So I asked him if there were unlimited free listings. His answer was "that is perfectly accurate".
    So if it is unlimited, I can list something for 10 days, if unsold, can relist it and so on - 3 times in the month of January.
    Have I got that right or am I missing something? I have been through the terms and conditions 5 times just to make sure I have understood correctly.
    Anyone got the same offer?
