if microsoft, disney, canon ,hp, dell,

dont have a discounted deal already
I am the queen of the may

It seems so overly complicated and it is only going to get worse as each site implements a “different” FVF/DSR system.

And all those sellers that do not have a “home” site, will never be eligible.

Too much?

They want “different” deals to everyone else, I expect to see much more of that soon.

But still, will any big company ever offer anything other than their cast offs on Ebay?

Keep It Simple Stupid

rather than discount fees and all the complications its caused
they should simply have awarded listing upgrades
free gallery, or free bold or free highlight, etc etc matched to a pre set star level

edit three seconds later: of course in Mark’s case por n por ns is probably apposite….

I certainly think they should just make the discounts applicable to the site, regardless of the location of the seller.

SIMPLE – ONE FVF SCHEME WORLDWIDE
SIMPLE – ONE DSR SCHEME WORLDWIDE

Or:

ONE WORLDWIDE FVF/DSR SCHEME PLEASE EBAY

OWFDSPE for short… (that probably wouldn’t work…)

Now wouldn’t that be a nice and simple system?

Same FVF discount for same DSR ratings worldwide.

How many of Ebays users are “outside” the current FVF/DSR scheme?

Those that list on “other” sites (for obvious financial reasons).

Those that do not have their own “home” site so cannot get a FVF/DSR discount.

All these are NOT being encouraged to participate in the FVF scheme as it is not open to them. (Discounting the less than exciting list on the UK site for 30p extra per listing malarky idea that is the current offering).

Maybe it is time to launch a campaign entitled:

….

Echoing information given out on the boards, if you check your seller dashboard immediately below the display it states “*To qualify for a discount, you need to have received at least 10 ratings in the past 30 days”

They’re just a couple more contradictory statements, although in fairness one might apply to .com and the other applies to .co.uk only.

The implementation has just been a total disaster and very much gives the impression that it’s been made up as they went along, with different information being given out by different people at different times

Biddy, a tad miffed is a very delicate way of saying how I would be feeling in your shoes….

Nope, it’s not even an option when signed in to eBay fr.

This is the thread which I mentioned back then:

I’m sorry to keep having to repeat myself here. I’d just like to ask everyone else: if you’d been promised a discount and then not gotten it, wouldn’t you be a tad miffed?

aha, but ztill no inwoice to check if it is zere…

“I was informed though that it would not be based on my location”

There was a thread on the PS forum (I can’t check at present ) where a Pink confirmed that PS discounts are applicable only for listings in the country where your account is registered. If you know any different I’d be delighted.”

So I wonder, was that before or after you were advised differently Sue?
