Selling fee offers

[LimboLass]

Is there a trick to getting these? I had one last month but it expired before I activated it because I failed tonotice it in the messages section. I have an item worth about £100 to sell and really want to get the fees down for this one.

When they appear can they be activated and held until I want to use it?

I've got one showing today for 70% off fees until Monday, and had one last weekend for 50% but just Saturday and Sunday. I think they probably appear more often if you're an active seller. Have you got a couple of low value things you could put on, see if that triggers more offers?

I usually check my account on a Friday to see if any offers are showing and activate it then - like you I've been caught before by listing when an offer is on but forgetting to actually activate it. Usually only get round to listing anything on Sunday or Monday.

Last three weekends. 70, 50 and 70 for this weekend. I am pretty active with over 300 live listings at any time. You can't 'hold' them until you are ready though.

Thanks for your advice.

I added another item this afternoon and an offer appeared. It states that to qualify an item must sell in the first listing period.

Next question
If I took my 3 current listings down that are on buy it now. Then deleted them and reworded them a bit. Would I get the deal on those items?

I presume if I simply ended and "relisted" items I am thinking that the deal would not apply.

I end stuff and relist it on offer weekends all the time, you do get the reduced fees if it sells.

Thanks. Doing that now.

If you use any ‘relist’ option then it doesn’t qualify, but if you ‘Sell another like this’ then it counts as a fresh listing.
