Seller Special
1 week only: May 26 - June 1
What is it?
Starting May 26, 2010, list your items for free—no Insertion Fees, regardless of the start price of your item.
If you have already sold more than ten items on eBay, your detailed seller ratings (DSRs) must be 4.5 or higher on all four criteria (Communication, Shipping Cost, Shipping Time, and Item as Described) to be eligible for this Promotional Rate. DSR rating criteria for this promotion will be based on the previous 12 months. If buyers have left you DSRs on 10 or more transactions, you'll have access to a Seller Dashboard within My eBay where you can see your current rating. For more information on DSRs, visit the Seller Information Center.
New sellers who don't yet have DSR ratings are also eligible.
How is this special promotion different from eBay standard fees for Auction-style listings?
With eBay standard fees, sellers pay no Insertion Fees for Auction-style listings when they start pricing at 99¢ and below. During this special week-long promotion, qualified sellers pay no Insertion Fees for any Auction-style listings, regardless of start price. There is a limit of 100 listings during the Promotion Period. That's in addition to the 100 listings per month that applies to the standard fees.
When is it?
This promotion starts on Wednesday, May 26, 2010, at 00:00:01 PT (12:00 AM plus one second on Wednesday, May 26, 2010) and will end on Tuesday, June 1, 2010, at 23:59:59 PT (11:59 PM plus 59 seconds) (the "Promotion Period").
What are the fees?
During the Promotion Period, Insertion Fees for up to 100 Auction-style listings will be FREE on the U.S. site www.ebay.com, and on www.eBayMotors.com (Parts & Accessories only), as reflected in the fee table below.* Listings created prior to May 26, 2010, which are scheduled to start during the Promotion Period, will be eligible to receive the Promotional Rate.
Please note: For sellers listing with any tool other than the latest version of the Sell Your Item form (SYI 3.0), the Promotional Rate will not be shown during the listing process. Instead, the discount will be reflected in the "View Account Status" section in My eBay, as well as in your next invoice.
Is there a way I can keep track of how many listings I have left that would be eligible for this special week-long promotion?
Yes. You can view this information directly in My eBay and in Selling Manager, and Selling Manager Pro, under "Listing Offers." A separate counter will be displayed specifically for this Promotion. You will see the counters only if you have listed an eligible item during the Promotion Period.
