Firstly Thank you to Alison445 on this no chat thread

There are at least 2, possibly 3 different offers in force for selected private sellers , there is the 80% one mentioned above and a 70% one that I have on one of my accounts- On another forum someone has said their offer has some categories excluded. So if you have an offer double check what your terms and conditions are to ensure you comply with any requirements.

Yes I have had three different offers, 80%, 70% and one of the old sell for £1 max FVF.

I've got 70% off and 2.5% FVF fees on sneakers. No idea why the "sneakers" one, it's rather random. Plus 10% off Evri/Hermes.

The 10% off Evri/Hermes is a bit of a cheek as this is freely available from just about anywhere on the internet, including their own website.

I used Evri 2 days ago.  The offer of 10% off was on their website but there was no place to put the offer code so I ended up paying the full price.  I was in a hurry and there was no time to check anywhere else.  I thought perhaps that it was only for people buying through Ebay, which I was not.
Where would I have gone wrong as next week I have to use them?

There's a very discreet little drop-down box on the payment screen that states "discount code":


When you click on the little arrow, a box appears for the code to go into.

I have 80% off variable selling fees. I haven't got a clue what that means.

I ended all my items and relisted today. 

Anyone else finding no one even looking at items let alone buying them? I've got some bits and bats I want to get rid of. May end up charity shop bound.

It means that you'll only pay 20% of the final value fees (FVF) that you would have paid normally. For example, if the FVF was normally 10% (I realise that the FVF are normally higher, this is just an example to explain the maths) of the item's value, you'll only pay 2% if one of the items you list during the promotion actually sells. You'll also pay a transaction fee of around 30p per item.

My sales are patchy, I can go a day without a sale and then in the space of an hour sell 5 things, it’s completely up and down.
