Ebay £1 Final Value Fee Offers? Where did they go?

TeleMaster

Has anyone been getting these offers in the last couple of months or so?

thebreeze

I got one last month

Strangefan

Yeah at least once every 2 weeks 

DrJazzTap

Pretty much all the time.

Think they've stopped them due to Covid. 

Whitecat

Haven’t had one in at least a month now - was getting them every two weeks. Basically stopped getting them just before the lockdown. 

TeleMaster

@Strangefan @DrJazzTap When was the last one? As the others have said it's been a good few weeks now.

DrJazzTap

@TeleMaster 14/02, 21/02, 28/02 and then last one was 13/03 valid for 4 days. They have a covid statement but doesnt say they are shutting up shop. 

Strangefan

2 weeks ago for me  

TeleMaster

Yea its been a while. Definitely due to Covid.

Likewise, I was getting them every 2 weeks at least for months and but not had one for 3 weeks now-assume it is covid related but no confirmation

Same here

It seems to me that they've stopped doing them because more people have time to Ebay, hence they can make more money.  It's certainly not to protect us from posting things, etc.!

Okay cheers!

I refuse to give ebay 10% anymore. Sell a £1500 guitar, I give them £150, but they don't give me any seller protection whatsoever. And now to make matters worse paypal have started keeping the 4% fees if you have to refund a buyer. Talk about treating sellers like shit. No wonder ebay is like a ghost town nowadays. £1 seller fees is the only incentive left, so until they offer the £1 offer again, they can bolt.

That might be a topic for another, already created thread.

Same reason there’s no deals on in supermarkets. I have NEVER paid £13 for 12 beers in Tesco until now

Same. I'm currently on eBay duties with work atm and it's like Christmas with the volume of orders we're getting. Honestly, eBay know what they're doing and must be raking it in right now.
