Ebay new business seller promo offer.

Shaps

Upgraded my ebay account last week from a private  to a business account and have been given  free FVFs till the end of the year but there is also an the option for a free featured shop for the next 6 months,

Does anyone know if I accept this offer it will cancel the free FVF , the only reason I want to use the shop it seems as thought i will get  free listings .

thanks

That's one thing that hasn't been mentioned much on the small amount of posts I still see about the forced upgrade.

I don't see why accepting the shop would affect the free FVFs , if they've offered free FVFs then it implies the shop is an add on to that. It might be worth a call to ebay CS, although I realise they can often give wrong info. 

If you do get any answer I'd be interested to have this thread updated.

thanks for responding , just got off live help and they confirmed that accepting would not affect the FVF offer but as you said with ebay help they do give conflicting information  so have kept the transcript and will ask again later today.   
The shop option from offers 1500 listing a month for free and even though I would only be using around a fifth of that it everything helps at the moment.

Hi, do you have the link for this business account offer?

I have been informed that I need to upgrade to a business account by 4th Sep. Are you paying a monthly fee, and did. You know about the FVF offer before you transferred your acccount?

Thank you.

All the people I’ve seen that have the forced upgrade in this latest purge have had the offer attached to the upgrade email. It is not usual to receive any incentive for upgrading, it’s usually just upgrade or else. 

You might find this thread interesting.

I don't see why accepting the shop would cancel the FVF. They both are offered for upgrading to business so should work together.
