Dec 4-6 50% off Final Value Fees Promo - Questions

Many sellers probably remember this 50% off fvf promo that initially didn't work, but thankfully was fixed and able to be activated. 

 

As of now, even on $50+ listings created right after activating the promo, my seller account fees show full amount. Now, the fine print does state,

 

The final value fees credit will appear on the seller’s invoice within 60 days after the Promotion ends. "

 

but that raises some questions, especially since that means you're potentially charged the full final fees for the first billing cycle (even for those promotional listings). For example, what the hell do those credits go towards if you barely sell anything outside of those 5 promotional items? You'll already have paid the final value fees. Do the 50% credits just sit there and wait, subtracting from future sales? Because they sure aren't sending you any paypal credits, so it's rather confusing when you really think about how this promo will actually work.

 

Also states "The seller will receive a credit worth 50% of the final value fees, for the first five items sold for $50 or more that were listed during the promotion. The credit will appear within 60 days after the Promotion ends, if not sooner." Does it need to be exactly five items, or is it up to five items?

Up to five items. If you don't need the credit to offset future fees, you can call eBay and have them send you a check.

Thanks. I'll also ask, will the credits ever expire?

No, a credit to your account doesn't expire.

These % off FVF promos just show up as a credit on your account however many days later

My credit wasn't applied to the items that were sold and I had to call in about it. Sure seems to happen a lot with supposed credits and promotions.

Yeah, the "glitches" involving money always seem to favor eBay.

 

I bought something during the summer for $2,750 and was owed over $50 in eBay Bucks. The eBay Bucks were never credited to my account and I had to call the Philippines and waste time on the phone demanding that they fix the problem. I was told that I would "hopefully receive the credit." My response was that eBay owed me the money and had better issue the credit, just as they would demand payment for money they're owed.

I got a credit on one of the five listed items, but didn't get it on the second item that sold.  Of course it was the highest value item that didn't get the credit.  Now I've got to decide whether it's worth it to call ebay and try to get the credit paid to my account.  Wish there was a way to email them.

It took several phone calls and more than one round of "it will show up in your account in 24-48 hours" but finally got my FVF credit.

Just reading over this necro thread.  Whatever happened to this guy, Keith Harrison?  Anyone know?  I haven't seen him around in months.  Just curious.

Happy 2018! May this upcoming year be a prosperous one!
