Free Listing Promo not working.. 100 free buy it now

[wdw-limited-pins]

Received a promo for free listing this morning.  (100 free fixed price listings).   I activated the promo and it does not work.   Charged for the listing and also the counter doesn't work.  It does not register the used/left amount of listings utilized.   ???????????????

Yup -- me, too.  

A little late for an April Fool's Day joke, ain't it?

Others have reported this issue. Let me get the attention of the community team...

@AnonymousMembers are reporting this on the M2M also.

I am happy to see that I wasn't singled out. I have been seriously busting my brains over this one and called eBay. They didn't know what the issue was either.

Thurs night is the normal update cycle. It is when they also lauch some of these promo offers. Fixes usually are not long in being addressed.

U.S. too, working listing like a fool, not the plan today....

Then realized that we were being charged.

Normally I watch closer, this was a real Gotcha!

Glad someone else called CS. 

Im running out of hours in my life.

Please... If it gets fixed, someone please post.

My goal for today was to stay off the boards.... & list!

It's working as intended.  Always read the details of the offer.   This one requires that you add "Best offer."

Yes, another le$$on learned on ebay.

Always read the offer.

Sure took away my entusiasm today.

[gaborka53]

Still not working for me, even with best offer.

[1786davycrockett]

No thanks, eBay -- since sellers are NOT allowed to negotiate with eBay regarding eBay fees, why should I allow buyers to browbeat me regarding my prices?

Another lost opportunity for eBay to make some more money, without punishing their sellers.  What kind of "free market system" is it, that allows the PLATFORM to dictate prices between sellers and buyers?

[gaborka53]

I finally got it to work... I do not like best offers either, so I just put auto decline everything under my accepted pricing.

All traces of this offer have vanished off my account, The notification email, and the offer itself, have disappeared. This has happened numerous times with other offers. What is going on?

I was able to delay list about 12 items with the promo with no problem.  The problem comes in when they added these listings to my original 50 free listings.  The counter for the promo stayed at 0/100 while my original 50 went up to 48/2.  This means that the way this is working if I list another 88 items with the promo requirements they will be shown as going over my original 50 free listings and will therefore be billed for 86 of them.  I sat on the phone quite a while with this last evening. The best they could do was tell me that they will reimburse me if that happens with my delayed listings I had prepared.  Not wanting to take a chance on spending hours on the phone trying to clear this up I just cancelled everything and will wait for another plain old 100 free listings because they have problems with the way this one came out.

I hate Ebays's deceptive practice.

I activated the promotion:

100 extra fixed priced listings - for free!
Pay no insertion fees on up to 100 additional fixed-price listings.opens in a new window or tab

Start:May 15, 2018 at 4:47pm PDT

End:May 17, 2018 at 11:59pm PDT

Used/Left:0 / 100

ebay.com

Now I find out  ia have to

create a listing in the fixed price format with the 'Accept Offers' setting selected, 

This is so misleading.
