I heard that the 15% anything that has been happening every week recently is something that happens every Tuesday. Is that true? When will the next such special/promotion going to occur?

No, that's not true. The recent 15/20% off codes were extremely unusual; I don't recall anything like them in the 17 years I've been here.
Speculation is that they needed to improve their 1st quarter financial numbers. If that was the reason, maybe we'll see them again in June.

Probably not during April, ebay will be promoting buying by disbursing ebay bucks.
EBay does not provide us with advance notice of the dates of their special Promotions.
Best not to wait for a promotion on one of a kind, or limited quantity, to avoid possible disappointment.

There was a 20% off and two 15% off promos recently. Most of us long timers don't recall ever seeing anything like them in all our years here. Speculation is they were trying to beef up sales numbers before the end of the 1st quarter. If so, we may not see one again for quite some time.
Then again, they could surprise us.
On another note, you probably need to edit your signture to remove the URL.

And at least one of those promotions was limited to specific sellers only.

I got a 20% and two 15%, none of which had restrictions on which sellers were included. There were only the usual category restrictions (gift cards, bullion, etc.). That what made them so unusual.

Am I perhaps thinking of the much-maligned "Black Friday" sale? Is that the one that had a list of participating sellers?

Probably. And there's a limited 10% one going on now.

There have been several of those in between the 3 sitewide sales I mentioned. The seller-limited promos are generally for a few days. The sitewide sales were only for a few hours on one day each.

Sorry, OP, that is NOT true.
As for when the next promotion will be, your guess is as good as anyone's.
Simply put, no one knows.
