    Maybe if we selling a few items and pay the final value fees we would be more likely to be invited for the promotions?

    I started getting the FVF offers a few months ago when I hadn't sold in around 10 years.

    It did coincide with being invited to Managed Payments. 

    Not eligible for above offer.

    Same here rather disappointing 😞 suppose I should just accept and list a few things for £30 and pay the fees.

    I have seen this promotion that wasn't displayed on the eBay app or main website but hidden in the seller account. And only my long standing account that I registered in 2007 had this offer my  other account ebay account hasn't.

    I have been emailed this 80% off too but it's conditional on me updating my details which I haven't done yet!!
    It's not £1 FVF everybody hoped for but I can make it work for what I need to list.
    Hope everybody else got a good FVF offer too  :)

    I've been getting the offer every 2 weeks, but this time it's for 80% off fees. Do we think they're scrapping the £1 offer for good?

    The offers have always changed, I've been on ebay UK since it started in 1999 and they seem to go through periods of trying offers, then changing them after a while. It is likely that the £1 offers will disappear, but there's just as much chance they will be rolled back for some people at some point in the future- no one knows.

    I’ve received the 80% off fees offer. The small print says “ Offer excludes the 30p order fee for private sellers activated to managed payments” - so it’s 80% plus 30p.......

    I hope they stick with the £1 fvf offers.

    For items £50 or less this is a better offer. You always had paypal fees (2,9% + 30p) on the old system so this is a pretty good offer. Not so good at maths but it could be 82.9% off fees.
