I got the offer today and it runs for 3 days (bodhi reply says the same if you look in the bottom right corner. start 15/6/18 end 18/6/18 unless i'm reading it wrong.

you can accept the offer for 3 days, but the listings made during that 3 days are valid under the terms of the offer for 30 days. the people listing stuff saying '3 day offer' are tools who dont know what they're doing.

Either that or they use it as a mechanism to pressure buyers who don't know any better.

yeah possibly that as well

Yeah I set some stuff to auto relist on a £1 final value offer expecting that the offer would still apply and got stung unexpectedly for £180. Those fees really sting!

No, definitely that. I sold some guitars to a bedroom seller and he regularly runs 30 day listing saying "3 days only offer".

No different to the old "Buy it now while stocks last".
