All,

I thought I would let you know that from 8-8 Pacific time we are having a 20% off coupon - let you buyers know AND do some shopping yourselves - it's a great offer

And just how do you suggest we "let our buyers know" when eBay has done everything in it's power lately to discourage communication?

Smoke signals I guess

Just over a month ago, there was a thread that became very unpleasant because I said that I keep in touch with my customers if they want me to find something for them. The thread turned into a complete and utter bashing that did not stop until I closed the post.

I am totally in agreement with you that we should be doing more to be proactive isales. Why sit around waiting for something to happen if you can generate business on eBay? It works for both eBay and the seller.

I have let about 50 of my customers know that this special is on. Most have responded to my message and are thanking me for letting them know. Some are incredibly excited. I have not received a single negative so far.

Lets get back into the business of building businesses, making sales. We can all do it if the guidelines are written properly.

Just my thoughts,

Ann

If those buyers gave you explicit permission to contact them, then you're totally within the rules.

One of the sellers of the item I bought almost immediately sent me an email informing me that anything I bought in the next 12 hours would ship for free with the item I already bought and offered me $5 off anything else I wanted to add.

Allowed or not, it was appreciate. I didn't add anything but it was nice to know.

I saved $100 on supplies! I also let several buyers know who had unpaid invoices of more than $25. One of them just wrote me back and thanked me for saving him $14!

And that is how you get repeat and multiple sales.

I just ran across one seller who put it as a subtitle, including the promo code.

I have been cautious, knowing that someone will come back after the offer is expired and be upset that they didn't get it.

Appreciate the 'heads up' - but this means that you are granting sellers permission to spam our buyers with unsolicited email? I thought that was a violation of the rules. Upon your confirmation of this being ok, brian_burke@ebay, I'll be happy to spread the word! 🙂

brian_burke@ebay Brian, that's great. Will all Buyers receive that message in eBay messaging like we've been receiving the 5% Discount for items in a Buyer's cart (pic below).

I'm reading that people are buying several items so what does this mean:

Coupon can be used once within a single transaction (or cart), while supplies last. Any unused difference between the discount amount, as shown on the Coupon, and the purchase price of an item(s) in a single transaction (or cart) will be forfeited.

In my haste, I read that as one-time use. So, put a bunch of stuff in the cart and then that's the one time use/single transaction?

Oh oops, just used it on one item. I saved $8.59, so I have 20% left of $100-$49 ? rounding the numbers.

Or, is it any single transaction up to $100 and just keep shopping until 11:00 pm EST?

It's on as many items as you want, in the cart at one time. you can only get a $100 off so your total purchases need to be less than $500......

brian_burke@ebay

Tell "Ebay".........thanks!!!! appreciate the % off as both a buyer and seller!!!

sharingtheland · ‎03-09-2018

Thanks, dh. I'm not complaining (well, maybe a little whining) but the fine print could have been a tad clearer.

I should have asked here first but I'm new ...

Maybe somebody can twitter that bad boy out?

Geez ebay must have all kinds of our final value fees stashed away, to be able to give this much money away in one day. People are buying like crazy from big retailers selling ps4, xbox one x, etc. Just look at the front page of slickdeals dot net

People are even reporting that they can use the code multipe times, by logging out of ebay, check out as guest, and pay with the 20% off code applied to the same paypal account, and its accepting the code.
