Ok, but where does Ina get it?

 

edit

I know Ina reads these boards. Don't tell me that she gets it from here! Lol.


 


Ah, ok. It would make sense for eBay to notify the big sellers so they can raise their prices to make buyers think they are getting a discount... Smiley Indifferent


The same big sellers who are exempted from the 14 day sale rules?

I hope it's not restricted to that list of sellers who never have anything I want to buy. Not that it's all about me or anything . . .

I just increased the % on a bunch of sale prices I'm offering to help make the discounts more enticing tomorrow. I would encourage any sellers to do likewise if they can afford the added incentive for buyers.

Re: Shhhh ... for what it’s worth

Has anyone received notification of this sale?  I sure haven't, so am wondering if it's worth listing some big ticket items today.

@eastmeetswest, notification using doesn't occur especially on "pop sales" like this one until right before it starts.  Reumor has it that this one is "valid from 10:00 AM PT on September 27, 2018 until 6:00 PM PT on September 27, 2018" so you just have to wait a few more hours.

Really short window.

 

Good thing is, the way I read it you can load the cart with smalls(small cost) to get to the $25.   Just note, it is a ONE TIME USE coupon.  Got to do it all in one purchase.

 

The boards will light up later with those grousing about not being able to use it more than once, and those unable to apply it hours after they made the buy:) And lets get ready for the ones that whine because the seller will not cancel their order so that they can purchase again using the coupongrin

Also not sure where the 10AM is coming from.

Copy & paste:

This Coupon is a 15% discount off a minimum purchase of $25 valid from 8:00 AM PT on September 27, 2018 until 6:00 PM PT on September 27, 2018.

 

Looks like we have about a half hour before the notification bells, and our emails light up with our sales notificationsSmiley Very Happy

Crickets here.

 

Must take longer for the interweb to reach the East coast, or maybe another "only to those selected, by invitation only"see_no_evil

 

Also nothing in messages except the offer for '200 additional listings" on my buying account.

Don't think so... The link quoted above (or here) explains that it's a keyword discount, not an offer that you need to opt-in for. Just plug in "PICKSOON" in the checkout discount field and that should work for you... today only... once... before 6:00p.m. Pacific time... if you're left-handed... boxers, not briefs...

It's plastered right across the top of the home page, no emails or messages required.

Re: Shhhh ... for what it’s worth

I don't understand why the early cutoff?  3PM Eastern?  Crazy.

 

And, I just discovered that you can only send a set number of messages to members per day.  I've been keeping a list of Best Offers since the last sale to send a note to, and wasn't able to contact all of them.  If I'd known I would have sent a few late yesterday.

Not 3PM eastern. You are looking the wrong way 🙂
