eBay £1 max fees offers - lack of

MR1988

I used to get them every 2 weeks but I stopped getting them since the one in the beginning of March.

It's also in mid-February when I stopped selling for personal reasons but I doubt that would be the case as my partner received the offer two weeks ago without ever selling anything.

I do hope I am going to get it this time but very doubtful, it's just not my luck lately.

I'm not on managed payments & tended to get the £1 fvf offer every couple of weeks over many months. However, haven't had one for simply ages & when I click on the links provided here, it always comes up that offer has expired.

I really don't feel inclined to list unless I have an offer, so not doing any ebaying at the mo.

Is it just me or are these offers drying up? I have 2 accounts and for the last 6 months at least I used to list whatever I had every weekend on either account whenever I got an offer, sometimes it was both, but not had one for a few weeks and I have massive box full of crap  excellent stock to list on eBay but there doesn't seem to be any offers?
it could be as I was playing hardball with ebay regarding my fees but I seem to have won there they eventually took the payment and stopped restricting one of the accounts

You're not alone. My account had a "dry" spell of two months (had the last offer from two weeks ago, just before I was switched to managed payments) and I have this weekend's offer. My husband's account has also been "dry" for a couple of months now.

I have merged 2 threads as they are both talking about offers (or lack of).

I was wondering if it was just me, but obviously not.  I know they've switched - or are switching - to this new payments system but I haven't had the £1 offer for a good month or more now, and I get message alerts plus emails so definitely haven't missed one.

used to get them regularly but havent had one for weeks now

So apart from ravenjet it seems so far that no one who hasn’t switched to managed payments has been given the offer.

I have one account on managed payments with the offer but noticed the sold emails have changed on paypal accounts. They now look identical to the managed payments emails with the correct address to post to. They used to have the buyers registered address or postcode never the post to address. I think there is a lot going on behind the scenes and we will get a deluge of changes to ebay payments very soon. Perhaps with a FVF offer as a sweetener.

My last sales ended on 27 February so I haven't had anything in the way of £1 FVF offers since then - been waiting for the offer to relist my items - and I haven't to my knowledge been invited to register for managed payments.

I haven’t had the offer for weeks either . Have 2 accounts, one buying, one selling as I find that easier. Have not been asked to move to payments on either.

Had an offer on buying account to sell 3 items absolutely free. No listing or selling fees. ( did read the t&c about a million times to check). Have set up 3 items but had to move over to managed payments to do it. 

Once the time is up on these items I will go back to it being purely a buying account. 

Interestingly, still not getting the £1 offer even on the payments account....
