Hi i got this promotion. It looks like its only for 1 month . If i would choose a yearly subscription would it be 30 a month or just for the first month . It not clear on that . Or for entire year ?

If i choose just month by month its just 1 i think im assuming same for other .

And i get my invoice on the 16th what date would i have cancel this by like the 29th?

Be Carefull!

Thats $30 for the first month then normal price afterwards.

I had a eBay rep tell me different only to call me back 5 minutes later and appologized as he told me it was $30 every month for one year.

I came here to ask the same question.

In years past, the promo price was only for the first month, but the way that chart is displayed, it makes it sound like $30.00 per month for a year.

I don't sell enough any more to pay the premium store price when it went up over a year ago. However, I would be willing to pay $30.00 per month for the increased listings.

Maybe we should ask tomorrow at Wednesday's chat with ebay staff members, 1pm Pacific time/4pm Eastern time.

The reduced price is good for one month. If you then want to continue at the regular price, you do nothing and it will continue automatically. If you don't want to continue, you need to cancel it by the required time.

And if you're on a yearly subscription, be aware that even if you cancel during the promo window it will reset your annual renewal date.

If eBay really wants people to upgrade, they need to make better offers than this. This is a pathetic offer. They should at least extend the lower price for a quarter - three months. Let people test the new waters for a while - the greedy SOBs!

Maybe if you stopped and thought how to use the offer to your advantage instead doing the usual ebay bashing, it would occur to you that

just before the end of the promo......end all listings and relist..........that gives you another 30 days at the promo rate.

Also, if you haven't bought shipping supplies yet, I believe you could sign up (before 9/30) and get the higher free allowance for this quarter and then reorder during the promo period for the higher free allowance also. I hope to remember to ask that question during wkly chat today.

This is like the free photo gallery that automatically charges after the first 30 days on GTC. It is just sneaky in my opinion. If they want to give a promotion let people have a free month and then decide to use it or not. If the product is so good people will want to stay, not have to figure out how to get out of it.

This is their offer? If they want me to upgrade, they need to offer the $30 subscription for a YEAR, AND give me 1000 free listings per month on top of that! Oh, and...and...NO FVFs again ever! AND a free all expense paid trip to Disneyworld!

But if this is it, $30 for one month, well, OK, I might take it.

But that would take into after Christmas ..... ebay would rather lower the price for one month and hope everyone who takes the offer forgets about cancelling when it doesn't work out.

The wording is very unclear. Would be clearer if instead of saying "one month" it said "per month". Or if it is $30 for only the first month, it should say "first month".

matt266 · ‎09-28-2017

Did anyone ever fidn out if this can be used for a yearly ? Every month 30 or is just the first month 30 even if you sgn up for 30 .

And what date would it need be canceled by?

@namtrag1 - I was thinking the same and was going to tell the OP "read the fine print."

whimboutique! · ‎09-28-2017

It's for ONE month. You have to cancel at the end otherwise you'll be billed for the full amount the next month.

Question: I activated the offer and was going to upgrade but on the pricing page the $30 price isn't there, anyone else having that issue?
