Just noticed this in my seller dashboard today. Though I have not received any notification email from eBay regarding this offer yet, it does say in the terms that it is a targeted offer.

To my knowledge this is the first eBay promo this year on final value fees..

Copy pasta from eBay:

Who is eligible for this Promotion?

  • “Eligible Sellers” means sellers registered on eBay.com.au who:
    • have Australia or New Zealand as their registered address on eBay; and
    • have an active eBay Plus subscription; and
    • have received an invitation to participate in this promotion and accepted these Terms and Conditions by either clicking “Accept offer” on the Terms and Conditions page or clicking “Get offer” under the “promotional offers” section of your My eBay account; and
    • received confirmation from eBay that “you’ve accepted the offer”.
  • Once you have accepted the offer, the promotion will be automatically assigned to your account and will be visible within My eBay.
  • The invitation to participate in this promotion is not transferable or exchangeable.

What is the Promotion?

  • The Promotion entitles Eligible Sellers to 0% variable fees, which is a component of Final Value Fees (as defined on eBay.com.au), on 5 sales during the Promotion Period on Eligible Listings.
  • “Eligible Listings” means item listings that are:
    • newly listed on eBay.com.au during the Promotion Period (i.e. they cannot be relisted items through ‘Good ‘til Cancelled (GTC) or auto-renewal);
    • in multi-quantity or single quantity fixed price or auction format only; and
    • not listed in one of the Excluded Categories (as defined below).
  • The variable fees will be discounted directly from the eBay seller fees applicable to the Eligible Listings when they are sold.
  • This promotion only applies to the variable fees on Eligible Listings that are sold during the Promotion Period.
  • eBay reserves the right to cancel or change the offer at any time.

    thanks iv got it too!

  • brandogs on 06/06/2022 - 18:31

    Whats a variable fee?

    From memory there were two fees in the past, final value fee and an insertion fee

    • Ziggy28 on 06/06/2022 - 18:39
      +2

      I believe the variable fee is the final value fee component. The fixed fee is $0.30

      • brandogs on 06/06/2022 - 18:40
        +2

        So if you list something and it sells, you pay $0.30 in selling fees. If it doesn't sell you don't pay a cent?

        • Ziggy28 on 06/06/2022 - 18:41

          Yea you have to accept the promotion offer. Don't let it auto relist if you don't sell it within the 30 days

    • lordezekiel on 06/06/2022 - 18:40

      All ebay sales have a fixed fee of $0.30 + a variable fee which is currently 13.4% of the total sale price.

    • FireRunner on 06/06/2022 - 18:43

      Looks to be the final value fee excluding the $0.30 fixed fee

      Variable fee – most categories
      Calculated per item, based on the total amount of the sale (including postage and handling)

      13.4% of the sale amount up to $4,000
      plus
      2.5% of the sale amount over $4,000

      • sub102 on 06/06/2022 - 19:28

        So basically with this offer all we paying in total for selling an item is 30 cents?

        • FireRunner on 06/06/2022 - 20:05
          +1

          Yeah, up to 5 items at 30c each

    • Dalgona456 on 06/06/2022 - 19:16
      +1

      so eBay charges about 12% for the sold price of the item as a fee. If you sell something over $1000 then the fee would easily go over $100.
      If you have stuffs to sell, this is right time

  • helmutiffe on 06/06/2022 - 18:34

    Yay I have it too! Been waiting forever since the previous offer like this they had.

  • MBix on 06/06/2022 - 18:36

    Hot diggity damn it's back. Except I don't have it. Just damn :(

    • Ziggy28 on 06/06/2022 - 18:38

      Is your ebay account the standard or ebay plus? I think this promotion might only be for ebay plus members

      • MBix on 06/06/2022 - 18:38

        Just standard. That may be why!

        • Ziggy28 on 06/06/2022 - 18:40

          Hope you're targeted for this!

          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/704626

          Or maybe try month by month and see if the promotion is available to you

          • MBix on 06/06/2022 - 18:41

            @Ziggy28: Yeh sorry, I was editing my comment, I signed up for eBay Plus this morning with that deal haha. Still nothing popped sadly in regards to the selling deal. But hopeful!

              @MBix: Ahhhhhh…. See if the promotion is available to you in the next few days, or maybe you have to contact ebay to force their hand. The customer service agents used to be able to give you 5 such promos before.

                  @MBix: Hi mate, where did you go to see your Promotions?

                  • Member 0230 on 07/06/2022 - 13:48

                    @macmine: You'll find your selling promos under My eBay › Selling/Sold. (Just found it myself — not the easiest thing to find.)

                    The page title is My eBay Selling Overview.

            • d123 on 08/06/2022 - 04:36

              @MBix: Thanks MBix,! I just signed up for a month and now i see the promotion of 0% in the Sell page. But do I have to accept the promotion, and if so how do I do that?

  • unity1 on 06/06/2022 - 18:38

    Haven't sold on ebay for ages. Is this essentially the same as no final value fee?

    • lordezekiel on 06/06/2022 - 18:41
      +1

      Pretty much, you will still have to pay the $0.30 fixed fee for any item that sells though.

      • unity1 on 06/06/2022 - 19:39

        Thanks

  • BargainsGrabber on 06/06/2022 - 18:40

    What’s the eBay definition of variable fees tho?

    • lordezekiel on 06/06/2022 - 18:42
      +2

      13.4% of the sale.

      • BargainsGrabber on 06/06/2022 - 18:43

        Thanks, I thought that counts as final value fees

        I’ve listed an item 7 days ago through auction and a buyer has placed a bid today. Does this count towards the offer?

        • lordezekiel on 06/06/2022 - 18:45

          I would not think so, i would say you need to accept the promotional offer, then end your item and relist it as a new item for it to be included in the promotion.

          • BargainsGrabber on 06/06/2022 - 18:46

            @lordezekiel: The offer was auto accepted as I can see it on my eBay dashboard and I didn’t accept anything lol

      • Splashtash on 06/06/2022 - 18:54

        13.4% also includes postage. So if item is $100 and postage is $10 the %13.4% is from the $110

    • lordezekiel on 06/06/2022 - 18:53
      +17

      Marketplace is a disgusting cesspit of lowballers, tire kickers, time wasters and no-shows… at least from my experience on the gold coast.
      Completely gave up trying to sell on there and gumtree earlier this year, and i havent missed them one bit.
      Sure ebay takes a fee, but i sell stuff on there that i would never manage to sell locally, and usually for much more than i was asking for on marketplace, even after fees.

      • SolidlyIrresponsible on 06/06/2022 - 19:10

        Agreed. I use marketplace when I don't have time pressure to sell an item or item for sale with pickup only and anything else on eBay.

      • seanneko on 06/06/2022 - 19:42
        +2

        I tried marketplace for the first time earlier this year and found this to be 100% accurate. Yes eBay is expensive but it's worth it not to have to deal with the lowest scum of society. I'm exclusively sticking to eBay even despite the fees.

        • team teri on 06/06/2022 - 19:44

          Any tips to avoid the scenario where scammers claim to never have received the item, even if tracking shows it was delivered? Other OzBargainers have shared their horror-stories…

          • MBix on 06/06/2022 - 19:53
            +2

            @team teri: I always pay for insurance on anything I ship on top of signature on delivery, whether passing that charge onto the buyer or not is another thing. Not sure what will happen the day that comes someone claims they haven't received the item with couriers claiming they got a "signature" (or whatever their version of signature is these days) but I think the added cost of insurance should have everyone covered…I hope

          • Some Human on 06/06/2022 - 20:25

            @team teri: Yes, don't sell scammer targeted items.

            @team teri: You're fine if tracking shows delivered. Had someone try to pull that on me earlier this year (I could tell he was lying as I could see he purchased a very similar item from a different seller right after he bought mine). I just told him to open a case, and after he did I entered the tracking info. A couple of days later he "found" the item lol.

            • DemocracyManifest on 16/06/2022 - 08:32

              @MiscOzB: I make them pay for signature on delivery, and I pay for postage through eBay so the tracking number is auto entered. I don’t care having to pay a fvf on the auspost either because my local post offices are c**nts

  • professorhulk on 06/06/2022 - 18:43
    +1

    It seems like 'variable fees' is pretty much the bulk of the fee. There's an insertion fee, a fixed fee of $0.30 per order, and then the variable fee of 13.4% of the selling price, so this is pretty good. One of these a month starts to make eBay Plus look a whole lot more worthwhile.

  • lothus777 on 06/06/2022 - 18:45

    Does to apply to existing listings or new ones? irrc my old listing didnt get the promo

    • ATangk on 06/06/2022 - 19:09

      New listings only.

    • Some Human on 06/06/2022 - 20:26

      End the listing, then press sell similar and it is treated as a new item.

  • bozbargain on 06/06/2022 - 18:49

    I just listed heaps of items this morning. Would ending them now and relist do the trick?

    • JuryWheel on 06/06/2022 - 18:52

      Was going to ask the same thing! Assume if I have something listed from last month I can end it and do a new listing with the same product starting tomorrow?

    • Ziggy28 on 06/06/2022 - 18:56

      I think best to do delete the listings and make new ones, not just "relist".

    • Some Human on 06/06/2022 - 20:27

      End listing, then press "sell similar", not relist.

      • team teri on 06/06/2022 - 19:28
        +1

        Yes, they are. Upgraded the second one when they offered a $20 voucher on top of the $40 cashback from Shopback (which finally tracked today after opening a ticket).

        They are now subscribed 1/2 a year apart, that should be long enough to always get some promo that makes it free to either renew or sign up again…

        • [Deactivated] on 06/06/2022 - 19:46

          nice.. but what's the advantage of having 2x ebay accounts? Is it to double up on any good deals?

          • team teri on 06/06/2022 - 19:49
            +1

            @[Deactivated]: That's the hope, yes, though hasn't happened so far. It's really just to always have one for the odd promo, and not just have cancelled and no deal to re-sign up the day the promo happens (as happened to me last year). Also, this time I paid $49 and with voucher and cash-back got rewarded with $60, that alone would have been worth it…

      The variable fees will be discounted directly from the eBay seller fees applicable to the Eligible Listings when they are sold.

      Reading this it should be similar to promos in the past, it ticks when an item sells. Otherwise it would only apply the promo to the first 5 items you list.

      • I Smell Pennies on 06/06/2022 - 19:50

      • cook99 on 06/06/2022 - 21:27

        Gumtree was the worst for it, but a few of eBay's own promotions have failed on me too.

        I've always got it back, including once they accidentally refunded me about $150 twice for the same sale, I kept that and put it down to mental anguish and suffering dealing with them.
        If I count the hours spent on chat fixing their issues I was far below minimum wage 😔

  • Captain Hindsight on 06/06/2022 - 21:17

    Perfect timing OP, thanks.

    Must agree with cook99 spent a large portion of my life on chat recovering incorrect charges, being promised it would be rectified, waiting literally months for the refund, being assured by ebay the money would come, and then finally pursuing through fair trading to get my final value fees back.

    I’ll roll the dice again though.

  • Shiny Mew on 06/06/2022 - 21:23

    Can I sign up after someone has purchased one of my items, but before I've shipped, to get the monthly 50% off postage costs (assuming they're still running that offer)?

    • cook99 on 06/06/2022 - 21:28

      Fee is calculated at time of sale, not shipping.
      You'd have to cancel the sale and relist if you wanted to go for the offer, which is likely to piss off the buyer.

  • spedohero on 06/06/2022 - 21:26

    The promotion runs from 00:00 (AEST) on 6 June 2022 to 23:59 (AEST) on 30 June 2022 (“Promotion Period”).

    You will need to sell by 30th June

    • MBix on 06/06/2022 - 21:40
      +2

      I've had them count before for items that were listed in this time but ended after the promotion ended, have also had them count for items that were relisted after buyers fall through and then finally have also had chat reps refund the fee I was charged for one that was listed during and sold after the promotion period (confirmed with them when I listed it for sale it would be counted and was asked to message back if it wasn't)

      However as always with eBay YMMV, and what one chat rep says can and will change from what another says.

    • Bargainitis on 08/06/2022 - 09:59

      not true. You just have to list the item for sale by the 30th of June. The promotion will hold until the listing ends (so if you did 30 day fixed, it'll end by the end of July). Relisting or autorelist after the promotion deadline will not be eligible.

  • scrimshaw on 06/06/2022 - 21:47

    Good offer for the bitcoin miners wanting to offload their used video cards without paying a hefty selling fee.

    • TilacVIP on 07/06/2022 - 14:11

      Their cards are worth less than half, so their hefty fee's will fall by as much.

  • onetribe on 06/06/2022 - 22:23

    Thanks for posting this I didn't realize I could accept a similar promotion in my eBay dashboard. My offer is 25% off variable fees in June so it doesn't just apply to 5 sales.

  • FireRunner on 06/06/2022 - 22:24

    Just listed a couple of items and the promotion still says 5 remaining.
    Not sure if it applies when sold or there's some issue. Is it the same for anyone else?

    • Vita85 on 06/06/2022 - 22:27

      It applies after a sale is made
