    It seems this weekend there are two offers.
    Some sellers are getting 50% off variable fees (so effectively a fee of 6.4% plus 30p).
    Other sellers are getting 2% variable fee over on sales over £30.
    It probably depends a lot on what you normally sell and how much for, I got the 50% off promo and I don't sell anything for more than £20 normally.

    I had 50% off various fees last weekend and the 2% over £30 this week.

    I'd definitely have preferred the former again but I'm able to make use of the latter for a small number of my drafts which I've rewritten as a combination lot.

    Do you mean last weekend or last time ?

    The max £1 fee is fantastic - especially since moving to managed payments since there's no extra PayPal fee etc, but seems like ever since the managed payments started being rolled out, eBay are now releasing other offers that make them a little more in fee's..... I fear we will see the £1 offer less and less in future.....

    It's been dry for me offer wise but my friend who doesn't use their ebay for selling just buying really has had loads of offers, £3 max, 2%! typical.

    I got the 80% off variable fees on both my private accounts this weekend.

    Same here, even on an account I haven't moved over to managed payments yet. However it can only be activated if I add a bank account.
