Yes, I did. But notice that that thread was from 2015.
This is a new offer that I received a few days ago.
What is the Promotion?
Invited sellers (“Sellers”) who receive the offer via invitation email or on the Promotion landing page, and launch one or more Promoted Listings campaign during Promotion Period, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein, will be credited the Promoted Listings Ad fees incurred in the first calendar month tolling from the date of the seller’s first Promoted Listings campaign launch.
In order to qualify for the credits, item must have been sold using the Promoted Listing service, and as such, would have an associated Promoted Listing fee based on the ad percentage rate elected. Any Promoted Listings campaigns launched prior to Promotion Period starting or after the Promotion Period ends, will not be eligible for this Promotion.
The promotion does not apply to insertion fees, optional upgrade fees, or Final value fees. Promoted Listings Ad fee will be charged as customary, but will be credited via invoice credits within 60 days after the Promotion Period.
Example:
Invited seller launches first Promoted Listings campaign on June 10 and a second campaign on June 30. Seller will be credited the Ad fees incurred from June 10 to July 9 from the items sold through Promoted Listings service for these two campaigns. Seller will pay the Ad rate selected beginning July 10th.
It appears that a seller who participates gets the promoted listing fees back some time within 60 days after the promotion period. So it LOOKS like it is a risk-free trial.
