business user potential offer

Options
Business users can you check your offers please, this has just popped up on mine:

Get 50% off final value fees
Reduce your item price by 10% or more to receive a discount on sold items.

there are two links to terms and conditions and an activate button, both go to a 'sorry we can't find that ' page.

apparently it started today and ends on the 19th , I've had no messages or anything- has anyone else got this and can they actually see any information ?

    I am getting tired of ebay- I couldn't see how to actually see what I was doing with this promotion and still none of my links work (although I have managed to accept the offer) so phoned them. Was told I would have received a message telling me which listings were eligible to use this offer- which I haven't and CS just said no one else had either .Then told me there would be something showing against eligible listings, and seemed happy to say no one can see those either.

    I suggested that perhaps she actually transferred my call to someone who could help rather than make up nonsense to get me off the phone and she finally said I could only use this offer on listings that ebay have marked under performing, so I checked that tab and there are a handful of listings in there, most of which would not qualify as they are MVL or don't have free postage, and she tried to say they would still 'probably' work, but maybe try and see? I asked where I could check to see if ones I reduced my price on had had the offer activated and she just said I couldn't.

    See, ebay can't even run their own promotions and yet I am still getting irritating messages telling me to enable all sorts of automated basket discounts and things with no hope at all they won't start giving my stuff away when it all goes wrong.

    So list an item at an inflated price then reduce it to the price you were going to list it for originally and get a discount on the final fee's?

    Looking at the community boards, where people are as confused as me, there appears to be some requirement to be already listed and with no previous price change from the date of the offer. However, no one is sure and eBay don't know either.
