The questions I have are the following:
1. They say my business will grow as a result. Are they hyper promoting our items? Promoting the sale off site?
2. Can I send out offers without them being combined with the 15% discount?
3. Are listing fees being drawn from the full-price, or the discounted price?
4. What is the intention behind these invitation only events?
I appreciate my co-sellers and eBays opinions on this topic.
The terms for these promotions are only available to the sellers who received the offer, so you should be able to access the terms yourself. Most of the responders here do not have access to them, but this thread has a screenshot that shows the terms for another very recent promotion, so your terms are probably much the same:
This explains how the fees are calculated (on the full price), and something else you should know: you will receive the buyer's full payment less fees and taxes, as usual, and eBay will invoice you later for the amount of the buyers' discounts from the coupon.
It also says, in the top right corner next to the "I Agree" button: "Please read the full page before clicking on "I Agree".
I checked out one of your listings, and eBay showed how to use the coupon quite prominently ... so I would assume that all of your eligible listings that are sold during the promotion probably used the coupon.
