3 months of Basic Store for free?

[toujoursladybug]

I was looking into if eBay ever offered discounts for store subscriptions and came across "3 months of Basic Store for free" but you need an invitation in order to do so. My question is, does eBay ever actually send out invitations for this anymore? And if so, is there anything you can do to get one sent to you?

I believe the only thing I was ever sent similar to this was back in 2019 when I was just selling a few of my own things I didn't need, was an email about "pay nothing for an ebay store for 2 months".

Up until 2019 there were many variations of this type of promo, free Store or Free listings or Discounted FVF's but eBay made it clear that these promos were mostly a thing of the past.

This doesn't mean they never happen or will never happen again but don't plan your strategy on the assumption you will get one anytime soon.

It was around the same time that eBay bumped the Monthly free listings from 50 to 250 for all non-store accounts.

Thank you, I wasn't sure if this was old or not, or if they even did something like this anymore considering a lot of the changes they've made.

 Most of the current eBay Promotions are for Fee Credits for trying one of the advertising programs. I'm currently using the one for Offsite Ads and I'm considering using the one for Promoted Listings Advanced.
