Seller Protections

In addition to our usual seller protections, your Seller Performance Standards will not be negatively impacted during this period. Your current selling standard status will be in place until the June 20th evaluation.

Ship Safely

At this time, shipping services in Canada remain open and operational as an essential service. Carriers have adjusted their way of working during this extraordinary period. This includes at-home pickup options in addition to regular in-store drop offs.

Stay in Touch

As always, let your buyers know if there will be delays getting your items out the door. You can adjust your handling and shipping times if needed, but do your best to continue providing service as usual.

Terms & Conditions

Please note: Members must activate the Promotion by selecting "Activate offer" in the Promotion Offer Module in My eBay or on the Promotion landing page.

What is the Promotion?

Members who activate the offer and then create a listing, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein (“Qualifying Listing”), will pay no insertion fee per item for up to 200 listings during the Promotion Period (the "Promotion").

All existing selling limits on your account (as well as category and item limits) still apply, and may prevent you from creating the maximum number of listings in this Promotion. The Promotion is in addition to the free listings per month as part of the everyday rate plan.

The Promotion excludes auction-style listings with a 1-day or 3-day duration. Final value fees will be applied to the total amount of the sale. The total amount of the sale is the amount the buyer pays, including any shipping and handling charges. Sales tax is not included in the calculation. Fees for optional listing upgrades (such as reserve price, Gallery Plus, listing in 2 categories, etc.) still apply.

Who's eligible?

The Promotion is available to members who: (i) activated the promotion from the Promotion Offer Module in My eBay or on the Promotion landing page; and (ii) meet eBay’s minimum seller performance standards. Please sign in to My eBay and view your Seller Dashboard to verify whether your account is currently meeting the standards.

When is it?

The Promotion will begin on Thursday, April 2, 2020 at 00:00:01 ET, and will end on Thursday, April 30, 2020 at 23:59:59 ET (11:59PM plus 59 seconds), for listings on www.ebay.ca or www.cafr.ebay.ca (the "Promotion Period").

How do I activate the promotion?

Members will automatically receive the Promotion after they activate the Promotion, and then create Qualifying Listings on the Canadian sites at www.ebay.ca or www.cafr.ebay.ca, or through the Sell Your Item form, eBay Seller Tools, eBay Mobile applications, and most third-party tools. Any listings created prior to the time of activation will not be eligible for the Promotion. For sellers listing with any tool other than the latest version of the Sell Your Item form, the Promotional Rate may not be shown during the listing process. Instead, the discount will be reflected in the "Seller Account” section in My eBay, under the Account tab, as well as in your next invoice.

Restrictions & Exclusions

Promotion is subject to Canadian laws, void where prohibited, not redeemable for cash, has no face value, and cannot be combined with any other insertion fee offer. eBay may cancel, amend, or revoke the Promotion at any time, including in response to fraudulent activity.
