Got a promo for 20% off FVF...listed 5 items...uh oh...

[nawlinsron2]

So I get this promo for up to 500 items that if listed by Nov. 18th, I get a 20% FVF credit when sold.

I'm down with that.

Listed the 1st 5...was checking something else and noticed I'm still showing 500 left...not 495.

So...if THAT'S wrong, what are the chances of my 20% credit going to lah-lah land as well?  

I read somewhere that ebay is a TECH company...

Make sure you read the offer completely - sometimes the 500 listing is only to receive the 20% final fees - NOT the actual posting cost of .30+ per item.  Or the promo starts on the 8th.  The fine print - gets you every time!

This is not a reading comprehension problem...and, I have a store...free FP listings.

Nothing will show until an item SELLS.  It's an FVF credit, not a listing credit (free listing).

When ebay offers this type of promotion it doesn't count down from each item listed.
It counts down after one of the item sells
activate the offer & list 5 items, Tomorrow morning one item sells. Your promotion will show 
used 1/left 499 .

I have an offer for 500 but mine is list by Nov18th. and is for hot  in demand categories , lot's of restrictions for mine.


Edit to say
Off to the slow typing corner for me !!!

TKU labs...that brings up another point.
Why have inconsistency in a countdown box? I have 3 other countdowns in the same box as the promo that decrease as I list...but the promo, as you point out, won't until a sale.
I'll never use up 500, but say it was 25. I'd like to know what I have left, cause those would go fast.

You still have 500 left, because none of the listings have sold. List 1,000 if you want; you’ll get a credit on each sale up to number 500.

[nawlinsron2]

Invited sellers (“Sellers”) who activate the offer and then list up to 500 Qualifying Item(s)* in the fixed price, auction-style, or auction-style with Buy It Now format during the Promotion Period, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein, will receive a 20% discount on final value fees (“Promotional Rate”) on any Qualifying Item that is listed during the Promotion Period (the “Promotion”).

Looks like a 500 limit to this momma's boy...
