    Make sure you check your account as for the last 2 of these promos (since being move to managed payments) the full fees got charged for every sale and I had to spend 15-20min each time on the chat to get them credited. Although if your on managed payments you only pay $1.30 max including payments fees (the old paypal 2.4% is included) so its quite good.

    • aj01 on 28/04/2021 - 12:02

      Ive spent in total 4 hours over chat between 5-6 different days because of this issue. This "technical glitch" been around for months but they dont seem too fussed to fix it (because of the fees they are actually keeping from customers who may not be checking). Very few customer support folks are good but many dont even read into the issue, even when you keep records of your previous transcripts, they try and fob u off saying its not valid or transfer you between multiple people. My advice is when they ask for feedback in a message they send after chat, do it, as I was then contacted via phone by someone in ebay locally who wanted to understand why I rated so low.
      Also take screenshots of the offer when you accept which shows date/time.

      • OzyBe on 28/04/2021 - 12:33

        I totally believe you have wasted 4 hours, as your experience seems to be the norm rather than the exception.

        I wonder if it may be easier to just dispute the overcharge with your credit card provider??

        • aj01 on 28/04/2021 - 12:36

          They take the fee from your sale so they wont transfer you the whole amount via their new managed payments system.

      • Captain Hindsight on 10/05/2021 - 07:37

        Yes me too they just don’t seem to take any action to fix the problem, I too have reported it in feedback etc many times.

        I wonder if reporting that to fair trading or similar would help?

    • tbb on 28/04/2021 - 12:10
      +2

      Yes. I listed one item and the promotion never applied. Ebay charged 13.4% for sellings wihch is quite high. I spoke to the support who said their management is aware of thes issues as many sellers complians it.

      • ash2000 on 28/04/2021 - 13:17

        Well I hope they reversed it?

    • OzyBe on 28/04/2021 - 12:32

      Yabadabadoo, what is managed payments? I would like to be able to pay a maximum of $1.30 for items sold.

      Make sure you check your account …….. full fees got charged

      Ditto……salient advice.

      I've sold 14 items in recent months on a free selling promos. Every single sale had to have the selling fees manually reversed via eBay support.

      I'd recommend people bookmark this link and monitor their FVFs carefully after every sale.

    • stevtom27 on 28/04/2021 - 15:14

      Ive been trying since january to get $110 refunded for incorrect fee charged due the promo not correctly applying. Tried 6-7 times through chat. Each time they say its being looked at and to expect an email but no further information. Hours of my time and its still not resolved. I refuse to sell on ebay now

  • Muzeeb on 28/04/2021 - 10:39

    Go the same email but never again.

    Last time I got this I had to spend 30 minutes on eBay online support to get my FVF back for every item sold. Their new payment system is stuffed. Waste of bloody time.

    Luckily I had a screen capture of accepted offer that I could upload to them as evidence because their system showed nothing.

    such a big company but ebay promo system is sucks.
    if you have multiple offers running at the same time, when you list item the system will apply random offer to it. (could be the first one you get, but sometimes not the best).
    anyone know how to deal with this apart of chatting and complaining to ebay?

    • PlasticSpaceman on 28/04/2021 - 11:40

      Yeah - only able to chat and complain. Last time I got 10% back on my sales as a credit, rather than the better "zero fees" offer - very annoying as I ended up with multiple credit codes that of course could only be used on separate purchases

      • CyberMurning on 28/04/2021 - 11:56

        YMMV but i remember long ago i had the same situation, $1 fee and get back credit offers.
        listed few, went into get back but lucky i noticed it then got into the chat.
        they said they put note so my listing will not get charged $1 if sold.
        weeks later.
        items sold.

        $1 fees AND i got the credit as well :D i guess they cant stop the system to generate the vouchers

        • MorriJ on 28/04/2021 - 16:44

          Yeah but the credits take forever at the moment. I go through this regularly with my non-store personal account.

          ATM, I have free FVF, 10% back and no listing fees for the items.
          https://ibb.co/vdfbpQG

          My next sale should get no fvf, 10% back, but won't. I'll have to chat and request it; credit comes in a month later at minimum for me.

          At the moment I am several hundred $ in credit anyway, so it wont matter, the fees they are going to take now are the credit from last round.

          • CyberMurning on 28/04/2021 - 16:51

            @MorriJ: nope i got the credits like 1 day after i marked the item as shipped.
            through email congrats on your sale see your voucher bla bla bla

    • Junk Sifter on 28/04/2021 - 11:45

      Nope, not even support can manage it. Their only suggestion is to activate only one offer at a time, which in my experience does work though the promo counters rarely work properly.

  • kwijybo on 28/04/2021 - 11:14

    Another one who had to chat for 15-20min to eBay every time I sold an item on this promo last time. It randomly applied an old 10% back as vouchers so getting to double dip offers was the only reason I didn’t take all the damn listings down.

    Is it possible to sell something on ebay for “pickup only”?

      yes

      • Blue Cat on 28/04/2021 - 12:20

        What if they pay and pull a “oh sorry bro I thought this was going to be sent by mail, can you send it bro?”

        • ash2000 on 28/04/2021 - 14:47

          You make your item 'pickup only". There will be no confusion as there will be no postage option.

        • Juggernauto on 28/04/2021 - 17:04

          Had one dude try to pull that on me, I reminded him item was listed as pick-up only, so his options were to either pickup (no happening as he was interstate) or cancel.

          He cancelled and I relisted the item.

  • jackofspade on 28/04/2021 - 11:48

    Does it stack with the 10% voucher offer? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/618652

    • doweyy on 28/04/2021 - 11:53

      Yep it'll stack fine.

    • ash2000 on 28/04/2021 - 13:19

      Yep, I've recently sold 14 items on free listing promos and have accumulated another 14x 10% vouchers. Win win.

      • Hank Hsieh on 28/04/2021 - 14:24

        I have both promotions active but when I created the listing I could only see the 10% voucher promo is used. Will they still stack?

        • ash2000 on 28/04/2021 - 14:28

          So the $1 listing promo did not deduct a 1 from the available 5?

          • Hank Hsieh on 28/04/2021 - 14:32

            @ash2000: An 1 is deducted from 10% voucher promo but not the $1 FVF prmotion. Did you have both deducted from the same listing?

            • ash2000 on 28/04/2021 - 14:38
              +1

              @Hank Hsieh: Ok that is quite normal at the moment as eBay have confirmed there is an error in their system that handles the promo counter.

              Did you have both deducted from the same listing?

              No. Only the 10% deducts for me too. The other promo counters (for FVF) have not moved.

              Once the item sells, you'll almost certainly need to get on the chat service with eBay and request a reversal of fees. It's annoying , but it will be honoured without issue.

  • itsmehuey on 28/04/2021 - 11:51

    Damnit, they should offer this to me because the last item I sold was not paid for and I had to go through a damn non-paying buyer claim.

  • CyberMurning on 28/04/2021 - 11:56

    $1 fee to ebay but remember you still need to pay paypal fees

    • doweyy on 28/04/2021 - 12:02

      If you use managed payments, all you pay is $1.30 fees, everything else is covered from what I understand. That's what's happened recently for my $0 FVF sales via Gumtree.

      • netsurfer on 28/04/2021 - 12:49

        Most of the time, we would offer PayPal option when selling, so PayPal fee still cannot be avoided I thought?
        I normally prefer to pay with PayPal for eBay items so I imagine other people would prefer that too?

        • doweyy on 28/04/2021 - 12:58

          If you use managed payments then PayPal is not an option for selling anymore, they pay you via Adyen every day that an amount is outstanding. It seems as though the payment fee is only $0.30 for managed payments and the extra 3% is covered under these promos, that's my experience at least so far.

          • CyberMurning on 28/04/2021 - 13:38

            @doweyy: huh really? so the new method is much better? flat $1.30 fee ? too good to be true okay i will check later

            • doweyy on 28/04/2021 - 13:48
              +1

              @CyberMurning: Yep much better if you have a promotion. If you have a promo for $0 FVF the only thing you pay is $0.30 for a payment fee or something, there's no 3 or 4% fee charged and it's included in the promotion. That's my experience so far on all my sales.

              • MiscOzB on 28/04/2021 - 20:45

                @doweyy: So just to be clear here, what are your buyers using to pay you? You'd think most people would still want to pay with PayPal. I'm thinking items would take longer to sell on average if you didn't offer it.

                Anyway, wish I knew about this earlier, as I've been selling things lately via the Gumtree promo but still paying PayPal fees.

                • doweyy on 28/04/2021 - 20:56
                  +1

                  @MiscOzB: I couldn’t tell you unfortunately, but all payment methods are still open for buyers to make payments with, it’s just the seller side that has seemingly changed to Adyen for payouts and not PayPal.

                  The following buyer payment methods are available on a listing of mine currently:

                  PayPal, Apple Pay, Visa, Mastercard, Amex.

                  • MiscOzB on 29/04/2021 - 11:59

      • vinnychase on 28/04/2021 - 12:56

        "eBay has ended their partnership with PayPal" FYI eBay owns PayPal, one reason for the managed payments systems is so that they can direct debit your actual Bank account for any unpaid fees in the future rather than your PayPal account

    • aj01 on 28/04/2021 - 14:02

      Look at your transactions page, which for some still comes under payments in your account section. Chat to them time and time again if not been refunded and provide them the previous chat transcript numbers. Good luck.

          Everyone is working from home, so I guess they had little option to cancel the phone service.

          The chat app does automatically send you a copy of the conversation transcript which can be very useful if having to appeal something that another support member has told you.

      This should happen immediately whilst you are chatting with them. I've done it 14 times, and it's always appear immediately whilst I've still been on the chat page.

    Is the dispute process on managed payments any good?
    I noticed some of my paypal payments for ebay purchases goes directly to ebay instead of the seller so you no longer know the seller's paypal details.
    How would paypal disputes work? since you are now in dispute with ebay instead of the seller.

  • cpox10 on 28/04/2021 - 21:59

    Tried using the gumtree/eBay offer. Since February they never take account I was using the gumtree to eBay list 2 items for free per month promo.

    I've raised many a chat sessions to them and they have noted it will be credited after 20 business days.

    After the 20 business days, after launching another chat session, I've had the line they will have the case escalated to a higher level support and to be patient. Unfortunately there is nothing they can do from their end.

    I'm still waiting credits for my January and February invoice.

    I've given up on getting the credits as they usually take forever to get thru a consultant and also worst they take ages to respond.

    On another note, they also been sending me emails to join manage payments.

    They first will restrict your account from listing any new items, then if you don't answer after a particular date, they will restrict your account from being to revise current listings. If you still don't reply, they will cancel your existing listings.

    I’ve accepted the deal but it doesn’t show on my account, I’m thinking that it’s because I have another offer right now getting me 10% as a voucher promo enabled already. The FvF promo starts on the 14th for me, is it meant to show on my seller dashboard before then or will it show when it starts? Can anyone confirm? Thanks!

    • doweyy on 12/05/2021 - 20:26

      It's back again under a different offer. The next one starts on 14/5 and therefore will show in your account after that date as active :)

      Nothing to do with the 10% voucher, just isn't showing because it's not "live" yet.

      • PattyDaPanda on 12/05/2021 - 20:38

    • dins on 29/05/2021 - 00:54

      Same here no manual fee credits being allowed since activating the 10% voucher promo. Apparently that offer will override and invalidate any other promo and there's nothing they can do about it.

  • badonde on 18/05/2021 - 22:13

    I feel this happens with eBay often - if you don't follow it up you lose hundreds

    • dins on 20/05/2021 - 12:03

      Their promo system is completely messed up and has been the case since managed payments came in. Everyone who has signed up for managed payments will get charged the fees automatically. The promos only actually appear to work properly if you're still accepting PayPal. So make sure you take screenshots and keep track of the promos and their corresponding item numbers. Then once an item sells you can get on help chat and get the fees refunded.

        The promos only actually appear to work properly if you're still accepting PayPal.

        Doesn't work, after listing the counter stays at 0/5 used.

          Yeah says that sometimes but it should work if you haven't signed up to managed payments just yet. Unlike with managed payments the fees are not taken out straight away so they actually should show up in your account as before so you can check and contact help chat if there are any discrepancies. With managed payments fees are taken out automatically and you have to go into their transactions page to see what fees are charged so can catch people out if they are not keeping track of things.
