As title, been sitting on a pile of stuff to sell for a while.

Today they're doing some "earn 10% of your sale back as a coupon" offer instead.

they just don’t like you

That's what I suspect.

Or they know how much I made selling my bikes in lockdown and the algorhythm says no.

I'm told they analyse your purchases, and they won't offer £1 FVF if they don't think you have nice stuff.

(I got the offer today)

I find I only get them if I’ve sold something recently. Put on something cheap that won’t cost too much in fees and wait a couple of weeks.

I've sold quite a lot on my account, and didn't get a £1 FVF offer. My wife's new account did, though. I'm off ebay at the moment though, as I finally got scammed.

yeah £1 FVF today, in last few months they've been offering different , i've had 2% fee on one account and 1/2 price feeds (5%) on another.

As others say list items to ensure you get the offer. if you dont want to sell anything at high rates, price in the fee on top of what you want for buy now price..

i doubled the price on a few of my listings to ensure they didnt sell, then some muppet buys them..

I was getting them weekly, then over lockdown once, when I've actually round round to selling shit...

According to ebay themselves, they sent a lot out during lockdown to get people selling again as people were avoiding selling due to post offices being closed and essential travel restrictions.

I took them up on the £1 fvf offers a few times this year, sold up to a dozen things at a time. I’m guessing they’re only pushing them to people who rarely sell stuff.

I got the 10% selling price refund one today. Annoying as I finally got round to listing about 30 things last week....

Is the 10% rebate coupon deal any good then? The Ts & Cs are a bit vague.

I can always find things to buy off eBay, if I have to.

If you can be bothered contact customer support by chat they've refunded fees for similar in past for me.

I got and took up the 10% voucher deal a few days ago.
Today I got the £1 FVF offer in a different email address,and when I clicked it, it said 'Offer is by invitation only'!!!
So I dunno if I put them off by accepting the 10% one or what
I did get the £1 FVF about a month ago, too

I got that but it was limited to 4 sales. Perfect time to get shot of some nos bits which would always have had a higher valuation fee. No point applying it for a £14.99 buy it now sale.

Looks like you can't stack these 10% sale value coupons unless I'm mistaken? Annoying as sold loads of stuff in the last week but highest value was £35 so only £3.50 back unless you want to buy multiple things

Not just you OP I haven't either, just that 10% voucher nonsense.

Just sold a frame after last weekend's £1 deal - woohoo!

I keep an eye on the HotUKDeals website which normally flags them up in advance. Initially when I clicked through from their link it said I was ineligible but a little while later the banner appeared on my eBay home page and worked.
