Ebay 70% off FVF

Sobeboy15

I am getting these deals on a regular basis and I am wondering  if you can create the listing and then save it to drafts.  Then once the deal goes live accept it to my account and then release all the listings from drafts into live auction.

Is this something that can be done as I want to take advantage of this promotion just never have enough time to list 100 items over the weekend.  

Thanks for any help

I believe you can but wait out for the more experienced to confirm.

Yes it's fine to do this, the listing counts as it goes live so you can save your drafts and finalise the listing during the promotion period. You can also schedule listings to go live in the future and if that happens during the promotion period they will count as well. 

If you have Seller Hub there is a promotions box on the overview and it will show the 70% off offer and how many listings you've used/have left so you can be certain whether or not a listing has been counting during the period.

If you are closing old listings and putting them up again (via drafts or otherwise) I don't know if "relist" counts but "sell similar" does.

I have been relisting a few items each month oand more recently, fortnightly as the 80% offers roll in .
Fairly sure it works as the few items I sold went for 2.56% plus .30p

Yes it will work fine. 
I end all my listings and just relist them again when the next offer comes around...

There is a limit on the number of drafts you can have , can’t recall what it is from memory. However, you can also prepare your listings and schedule them for a date in the future, then when you get a cheap FVF weekend just reschedule and list them.

Soolin,  when you say you reschedule them do you mean you just change the date that the listing starts ?

Yes that’s right,  I did one yesterday and scheduled it for a date in mid November. If we get a FVF offer for the weekend of the 5th November I shall just go in and make the listing live then. If not I’ll keep an eye on the date I have set for listing and change it to a later date if necessary. The trick is to remember to keep checking the scheduled date and move it back if you don’t get an offer when expected.
