Free Selling Promotion not activating

[brdn94]

Hello,

I'm a new seller who just posted their first listing. I'm hoping to take advantage of a promotion that ends June 30th, that waives any sellers' fees. I've checked and I'm above the standard for sellers, but in my menus my listing doesn't seem to qualify. I also read that it may not apply until the item is sold. Is there any way to confirm that I'm eligible and won't have to pay the fees? Thanks!

Don't be confused with Free insertion / listing fees
that only means it costs Zero to list but you usually will have a Final Value Fee unless your promotion was for no Final value Fees on X amount of items.

The circle of 50 free you are showing is just the 50 Free listings ebay gives non store sellers per month. They had in addition been giving also 200 free until July
This is meant to be free of listing fees not Final value fees .
Not sure what the Circle with 5 remaining is that you received .

Ebay has sent two of my old buyer accounts promotional's to "Start selling on Ebay" and have your first FIVE auctions FREE with no fees attached.
TRIED THIS ON TWO ACCOUNTS TO NO AVAIL. Wants to verify you ( even though my accounts are 15 years old each and have consistent buying activity) - Verification sends you a code to your listed phone number. Entered correctly and then EACH TIME you will get a message "We were unable to verify you". PLEASE CONTACT US. Well, seeing as how NO phone support is available any longer ONLY chat, I wasted 60 mins on a chat with a rep who had me spinning in circles and couldn't do a thing. Finally, I dial Ebay direct in Utah from an old saved number I had. Between the poor phone connections on their end, the multiple transfers, the multiple managers, the tech departments, them making me switch browsers, empty cache, clear cookies, log off & on - I ended up spending 2.5 Hours Exactly of my time wasted along with all the draft sales I had created.
Its no wonder this sinking ship of theirs is on their way out. REEL everyone in on a promotional and simply UN-VERIFY THEM at all means. TWO accounts means this on Ebays end. EVERY single person I had spoken with on the phone stated they have NO clue why I am not verified and that there was nothing they could do.
EACH of them promised a phone call in return. I laughed and stated in my history with Ebay ( since the Pierre days), I have NEVER received a call back. They literally assured me.
Guess what? No call back.
What a colossal waste of time. A BIG HEADS UP to anyone trying these ridiculous worthless time wasting efforts from Ebay as it is a disgusting ploy to save an already fully nailed coffin.
