Anyone got any FVF offers this weekend 20/9/24 >

Doing the usual round up of selling sites it doesn't appear that there's anyone mentioning FVF offers this weekend. Following the usual pattern of every other week this weekend should have seen offers for those who normally get them.

Perhaps this is the shift away from private sellers that business sellers have been promised for a while. The reduction of free listings from 1st October, the forced upgrade that many sellers had from private to business.

It will be interesting to see how this all pans out going forward.

If anyone does have any offers though, I'd be interested to have this thread updated.

There is a bit of discussion going on about this, including a thread on the eBay discussion boards, where someone has posted a message from eBay saying basically that offers are regularly reviewed and a decision was made not to offer any this weekend.

A lot of discussions around whether this is the end of offers for private sellers with a view to levelling the playing field a little with business sellers who are paying higher fees in many cases. Probably too early to make any definite discussions but worth waiting to see if there are any in the coming weeks.

No offers here, usually get them every two weeks (except around Christmas as per everyone else).

A couple of people on the eBay forums imply there are some offers, personally I wouldn't trust what CS say, most of the time they just want you off the phone if they don't know the answer.

4% up to 12.9% is a big jump, not sure I can be bothered to list the ramdom bits for a couple of quid where the postage is a small parcel as the fees are just to high, for more expsive items it does feel like a big cut overall when you've had low fees for years on end.

The offers also give you a good kick up the bum to list 100 new listings rather than being lazy.

That said you can see why eBay want to cut back, maybe they should tweak their offer and only give it for items which aren't new.

I haven't yet found a person claiming to have any offer this weekend, but I did only read round a few places this morning and not since.

One poster said their mum got the 80% offer but seems the majority say no offers this week.

Nothing here @soolin , just come on to check if it was just me.

Hope it isn't a taste of things to come - especially with Christmas coming up.

I missed out on it last year due to ID issues, so was hoping to be eligible this year

Fingers crossed for everyone that it will be temporary

Ditto.  Didn’t list anything 2 weeks ago for the first team for ages and thought I was being penalised for not doing it so came here to check.
