I got 80% off which I'm happy with.

Nothing at all yet here. Mine tend to show up on my dashboard first thing on a Friday, with the email message not turing up for a while after that.

Yes my email tends to arrive later. 
I usually try the ebay promo page link from a Wednesday onwards to see if I will be offered anything that fortnight. 
Opted into my latest offer that way yesterday.

So have the 80% fee reduction offer. 
Generally, I list auction style but will be trying a BIN instead this time round - it seems the default listing timeframe is 30days for BIN? There is no option to reduce it to my standard 10 days...

Thats fine by me, but if the item sells on day 28, it will still be subject to the 80% fee discount since it was listed during the promotional period?
If that's the case I'm happy to list BIN for 30 days - saves me having to relist every 2 weeks when the offers come round!....

Also noticed the offer does not apply to BIN listings when you are selling multiple of the same item - so need to list each item individually.....

There is only the GTC (good till cancelled) option on BINs now and the listing will roll over automatically after a month (the 30 days is a bit misleading). As long as your item sells within the first listing period, ie before it automatically renews after a month, you will get the reduced FVF offer.

They never include multiples as it is unlikely that private sellers have multiple identical items for sale or need to use MVLs.

Got it. Thanks!!
I’ll just remember to end the listings and relist every other offer period!

I have been using BIN with the 80% offers 
Had no issues so far only selling about one item a month .

Could you expand on "the 30 days is abit misleading"

As i renew the BIN listing when I get a new 80% fortnightly offer ive never got to a calendar month or the 30 days end of offer.

It is going to be one of my notoriously confusing explanations!

When GTC was first launched it was for 30 days only, so every 30 days the listing rolled over and renewed. This meant that in some months business sellers or private sellers who paid fees were going to be charged twice. (Imagine the first listing was the 1st of the month and it was a 31 day month).

So it is now on a month to month basis, so if you list something on the 10th of one month it doesn't renew until the 10th of the next month, regardless of how many days the month has.

A simpler way of looking at it is that there is only 12 months a year, but if you use 30 days then there would be 13 renewals.
