Update 6/29/18: We happened to notice this evening that the sale has been extended to 11 pm PT.
eBay is running another sitewide flash sale that runs until 9 pm Pacific time today. Sellers are noting that it comes in the final days of the second-quarter, believing it’s an attempt to goose sales before eBay must face Wall Street analysts in a few weeks.
Meanwhile, a major glitch is causing sellers to lose their Fast N Free logo and possibly their Top Rated Seller Status – see today’s blog post.
Here are details of today’s Flash Sale – be sure to read carefully for restrictions that apply:

I’m no financial guru…but…they’re LOSING 5% PROFIT on every sale today.
Do they think gross sales dazzles stockholders such that net profit becomes irrelevant?
awright…missed the fine print….but…any profit on non-eligible items could easily be wiped out by the loss on the eligible ones.
Speaking of the fine print…as is typical of ebay, what they give you in the splash: “15% Off EVERYTHING”
…they then take away in the fine print: “Min $25”
The real insanity is putting “everything” in ALL CAPS!!!
Typical ebay come on. Tried using the perfect day 15 per cent discount. GUESS WHAT. WE ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM PLEASE TRY LATER. Off to Amazon where I know I won’t have a problem. I don’t have the time for Ebay problems. LATER EBAY.
Sure hasn’t done a darn thing for me. I sale from a regular customer. I’m still throttled. Oh well, I continue to work on my Etsy account. 1 sale and ready to climb.
Three months ago, I was selling 7 – 10 items every Saturday. Today. 1 from a reliable source., If I’m not selling, I’m also not buying. Jeepers, eBay has no IQ as a whole.
Many sellers didn’t even know there was a sale. Hahahaha. Good grief. From the feedback boards, it sounds like with the issues trying to get the coupon to work and most posting no sales at all, I guess it was a big fat waste of time.
The coupons at the end of March, I contacted some customers to let them know. According to some of the terrible gruesomes on the boards, they said I was stalking customers.. Hahahaha. Lord help me.
