Ive switched to managed payments a few weeks back. 
Have had one £1 max fees offer - which is great as you end up saving even more due to no PayPal fee!
Today I have the 50% off offer - I will only list lower priced items - up to £20 or so. The more expensive ones I will hang on to until the next £1 fee offer!

Quick Tip - Unsold items remain in your 'Unsold' tab on eBay for easy relisting. However they disappear from your 'Unsold' tab after a month. Hence if we have had no decent selling offers I tend to relist them just before the month is up, then cancel all the listings straight away. There's no listing fee so this doesn't cost any extra, but just means the items stay in your unsold area ready for quick relisting when the next good offer arrives! 

My unsolds stay visible and relistable for 90 days so it gives me a lot more flexibility especially as sometimes I get busy with my business account and abandon the private ones for a couple of months.

As Soolin says unsolds can last for 90 days, if you click the down arrow it should offer Last 90 days.

Thank you for that I will try to remember it.

I think that if people don't activate or use this £3 offer they will see it's not popular and won't send again at least not to those users! That's my hope anyway 🤞

I think people will accept any offer after the huge drought we have had in offers over the last few months.  Well the people who were not on managed payments anyway.

I got this offer too, I think I might have made a mistake though. I activated it and listed an item for auction with a BIN price, then noticed that the T&Cs have this under exclusions:

Auction-style listings ended early

Does this mean somebody ends the auction early using the BIN option, and the listing no longer qualifies for the capped selling fees?

I would think this would still qualify, it means if you end it early to sell to the highest bidder. You will have been charged extra for the BIN option however.

Ah I see - I don't usually list as Auction so didn't know you could end and sell early to highest bidder. I'm ok with BIN fee as it's only 50p, I was just hoping to not pay ~£90 on final value fees if it could be avoided.

Read your terms and conditions carefully (in the past there have been variations) as usually auction with BIN enabled are usually excluded. Most, but not all, offers are for BIN or auction only. As a private seller a straight BIN or auction would be free of listing charges as well.

Hi @soolin thanks for the reply. The T&Cs don't explicitly exclude auction with BIN but did have the line "Auction-style listings ended early" which is what caused me to doubt:

I feel they should could give more clarification in their terms for these types of listings, the best they do is mention "Listings can be auction-style or fixed price format".

I guess I'll find out soon enough if someone uses BIN on my listing.
