GTC and £1 offer fees

Hi

Apologies if this has been asked before. I listed multiple items last month when the £1 final value fee offer was on. They would normally have expired if unsold after 30 days but now stay on with the good till cancelled.

What I can’t work out is if the £1 listing offer keeps going whilst these items are still listed or if expires after a period of time?

There is a new £1 offer on this weekend that expires tonight. In the terms it says “Item must sell within the first listing period” but doesn’t make clear what this is?

I’m unsure if I should end my items that are of higher value and realist again with this months offer?

    Yes the offer will be for the first listing period of 30 days.

    Unless you end the listing and relist with another £1 fvf offer, then the listing will carry on as gtc with 10% fees.

    The offer I got was clear that the offer only applied to the first round of 30 day listings, it is always worth checking your own terms and conditions though as they occasionally differ.

    Many thanks. It’s so confusing

    The current offer only says “first listing period” but no mention of 30 days so not 100% sure! And I no longer have the email from last month to check terms.

    To be on safe side, I have taken a few of the higher value items off and put back on with new fvf offer! After checking and double checking that they all said no offers have realised that all gone on with best offer. I will now need revise each individually! Most annoying....

    eBay is taking up way too much time me these days I’m not sure it’s worth the hassle!

    First listing period is clear, it's the first round of 30 days. That's always the wording I get with these offers.
