Free to schedule listings from March??
Aren't they free now?
I have been scheduling occasionally and I'm sure I haven't been charged extra.

Private sellers haven’t paid for several years, I was surprised by that one as well.

The following are excluded from the promotion:

• Business sellers
• Private Sellers not registered for managed payments
• Sellers who have been invited to participate, but have not actively opted in to the promotion via the RSVP link shown in the marketing communication.
• All items listed in the Cars, Motorcycles & Vehicles and Property categories. However, items listed in the Vehicle Parts & Accessories category are included.
• Items listed in the Classified Ad format.
• Auction-style listings ended early ***

I read that to mean if you just end an auction early then you get no FVF discount on any cancelled bids, but if you end auction early to sell it via an offer then it would be fine. If you accept an offer then auction hasn’t ended early, it finished with a legitimate sale. 

It would be interested if anyone has taken an offer and sold, I have done in the past but too long ago to check my fees charged. 

Interesting - I read it to mean ending auction before scheduled time ! Hopefully someone can enlighten me one way or another

If you accept a "Best Offer" then you do still get the 80% discount on fees, I did it last month.
