Hello, I’m sharing my troubles with ebay as a seller so it might help others eventually... I received by email on December 26, 2025 the offer "0% fees on your sales". I clicked the link included in that email and then, being wary, I clicked a second time and got the message "offer already accepted". So I listed 2 items that sold on 04/01/2025. I then noticed that 100% of the fees were applied to me. Customer service would hear none of it and considers that I never activated the offer! Of course, you have no way to prove otherwise; Ebay does not send you a confirmation email when an offer is activated! I’ve always thought this principle of having to "activate" an offer was strange, but I now understand the point: it allows ebay to have more offers from sellers who will be extorted for 10% in fees when they sell their item! Despite my 100% positive feedback, Ebay as a private seller is over for me Another equally well-known classified ads site (with payment by check or bank transfer) is free and just as effective.
