eBay UK offered a free subtitle listing special and when sellers used it on their Good ‘Til Cancelled (GTC) listings, they were unable to cancel the subtitle.  If certain requirements are met, eBay UK is refunding the subtitle fee from those renewed listings.  Please read the announcement carefully:

We'd like to update the announcement 'Free Subtitle' originally posted on 22nd December 2008 (see below).

Unfortunately sellers won't be able to remove the subtitle feature from live Good ‘Til Cancelled listings from 8th January 2009 onwards as previously announced. This will now only be possible from Tuesday 3rd February 2009 onwards.

We will extend the subtitle renewal fee refund period from 1st January – 9th February 2009 (inclusive) for sellers who took advantage of the subtitle promotion.

If you have a Good ‘Til Cancelled listing with a renewal date after 9th February 2009, you will need to remove the subtitle feature from the listing before 9th February 2009 if you do not wish to be charged for this feature.

Sellers must still meet any of the previously mentioned requirements in order to qualify for a refund.

During December we ran a free subtitle promotion. Some of our feature and anchor shop sellers took advantage of this promotion and added a subtitle to their GTC listings. Due to system constraints sellers are not able to remove the subtitle feature from live GTC listings. However, this functionality will be available from 8th January 2009

We would therefore like to advise sellers who took advantage of the subtitle promotion that we will refund any subtitle renewal fee incurred between 1st - 15th January 2009 (inclusive) for sellers who created:

  a new Good ‘Till Cancelled listing with subtitle feature enabled in December

  or added a subtitle to an existing Good ‘Till Cancelled listing in December

From 8th January 2009 sellers will be able to revise their live multi-quantity listings with a sale and remove the subtitle feature without having to cancel the listing.

For Good ‘Till Cancelled listings with a renewal date after 15th January 2009, the subtitle feature will need to be removed from the listing prior to 15th January 2009 if you do not wish to be charged for this feature

Regards,

The eBay Team
