Selling Fees Offers - eBay

I have been selling on eBay for many years and in recent years I have taken advantage of reduced selling fees offers from time to time.  Does anyone know how often these offers are made available ?  Up until recently I was receiving a reduced selling fees offer almost every other week but that seems to have stopped ?  Other sellers, selling in the same category, have received offers but not me ???

    They seem very random, one of my private accounts has started getting them about every 2 to 3 weeks, the other nearer once a month.

    if you subscribe to this ‘no chat’ thread you’ll get notification when someone spots an offer

    And we often have a chat thread to discuss offers as well as sometimes there are 2 or 3 different offers out at the same time

    It sounds like having a few selling accounts is the only way to possibly max out your chances of getting the ebay selling offers on a regular basis .

    I've got a couple of eBay accounts and not receiving offers on either !?!  Perhaps I have upset someone at eBay  :/

    Some of the few items that I have sold are not worth the effort unless on a 80% ebay offer .
    Im sure others probably sell only using a offer or dont bother until they get one .

    Sell a few bits and then stop selling for a while and the offers keep rolling in. I have an account I have not sold anything on for
    a long time and I get offers every week.

    I think eBay have just checked the weather forecast.
