FVF expired?

moonpenny

I haven't had an offer on FVF for months but why when I click on the latest offers that has been posted on here (to begin this weekend) it always says that the offer has expired?

Has anyone had any luck getting offers re-instated as it were by phoning ebay etc?

The links posted here don't always work for me either, but I usually get the FVF offer on the day the promotion starts in the Promotional Offers section in my Seller Hub.

That's where I used to get mine too usually late on Friday night but haven't had anything since before Christmas.

Have tried not listing anything and then after a couple of weeks listing a few things but nothing!
I have also had a couple of sales where I paid full fees but nothing makes any difference.

are you sure It's not because its too early? I've just tried and it says it's expired too, but thats the first time I've ever tried activating it before the Friday so that might be why

I can always activate them the Wednesday before the offer starts.

You'll be wasting your time calling. I tried earlier this year, and even had it escalated to a UK-based manager. They'll stick to their guns that they're not empowered to reinstate, and it's all based on Marketing allocation budgets. Hopefully it will show in your account tomorrow.

I don’t get the offer on my seller dashboard until the Friday morning so can’t activate it until then. I rarely get the eBay message until either late Friday or early Saturday.

I should have been clearer sorry, I try the links posted on the FVF thread on a Wednesday, and am able to activate an offer which kicks in from the Friday.

When I get an offer it is usually just before the offer starts (on my seller dashboard).
I wonder why the links posted on here work for some people but not for others!

The links for 80% FVF discount posted here work for me. I can click on it and activate it on the Wednesday for instance, but it's not viewable in My eBay, and come Friday its there and pre-activated, ready to be used. 

The links for £1 max FVF etc do not work for me though.

Just done the 80% FVF now, even though it doesn't start until tomorrow.....

Just tried the links again and they both say the offer has expired!!!   They have not even started yet.
I wonder if they only work if you are in line for getting the offer anyway.
