PROMOS have disappeared since GTC for me....

Has anyone else noticed they don't receive promos anymore.  I use to get SO many, and now that GTC started the cupboard is bare.

There doesn't seem to be any noticeable change in patterns....

 

We received a 50% off FVF discount in mid-July.

We received a 25% off FVF discount in mid-June.

I got one on Tuesday for 200 free.

Everyone has options. Just be sure the best option is right for you.

There were a couple of months with free listings then last month they dried up again.

My daughter continually gets free listings on her IDs, I usually only get the stupid % off FVF things.
Reality is the leading cause of stress.

I'm sorry you didn't get any and this doesn't seem fair.

 

Does anyone know if promotions are fairly and evenly distributed?

 

Or ... is it like the way listings are more visible for sponsored/promoted and large sellers (i.e. pay-to-play).

Ebay still sends me various promos, some of which are very useful.

It’s random as far as I know.

they don't have any love for me either--haven't received any free listings since February. Sometimes get a % off FVF's but usually not in categories I list in cry

Last free listings promo was in mid-June, then got some useless 30% off some sort of categories I don`t have. Used to be frequent $15 off $75 was about a year ago. eBay buck has been a few times within a month, but I couldn`t find anything to buy on eBay, so passed and don`t bother with this sort of promo.

While it may be random - there are parameters used.  For the past 18 months non-store sellers are more likely to receive free listings promotions than sellers with a store.

I just used my last 100 for the month.  Ah well...... I could pay 30 cents each to list the remaining items for sale....but, nah -  Only if they guarantee they will be seen, and that's not happening!

Are those stores or non store accounts?
