3. Promotion and Procedure

eBay charge an FVF when your item(s) sell(s). The FVF charged per order consists of: (i) a variable portion (“Variable Portion FVF”) which is calculated as a percentage of the Total Sale Amount; and (ii) a fixed portion (“Fixed Portion FVF”) for example 30p. The Total Sale Amount means the amount the buyer pays for an order, including the item price, postage, taxes and any other applicable fees.

The FVF Discount in this promotion applies to the Variable Portion FVF (net of any other discounts) in respect of the eligible items’ Total Sale Amounts. For example, if you would have been charged 8.9% on the Total Sales Amount, the 20% FVF will reduce this to 7.12%. The Fixed Portion FVF (e.g. 30p) will not be discounted. Therefore, the fixed charge of 30p per order will still apply.

The Promotion will apply to all listings in the fixed-price or auction format.

Listings will qualify for the Promotion on items sold within the Promotion Period. “Sold” means that the item has been paid for in full by the buyer. Items sold after the Promotion Period will be charged the standard FVF rate according to the eBay fees policy. 

The Promotion will be automatically applied to all eligible, completed sales at checkout.  A fixed order level fee of 30p will still apply.

This Promotion cannot be used in conjunction with other promotions. 

Any other fees (such as listing upgrade and international fees) will still apply and will be charged in accordance with the eBay fees policy.
