I didn't have to activate it and it doesn't show in my dashboard.

I didn't but I did get the email about how they saved me from hundreds of defects. I am so lucky that they are watching out for my account.

I have to ask…does the promotions feature (which would include order discounts) work any better than it did before? I never really could get it to work right, but maybe it was just me.
But since my pricing includes some wiggle room for a MM sale at any time, maybe I'll give the discounts a shot.

It worked fine for me. Yesterday I did a coupon sale and posted the link and pinned it to Twitter. I was going to run that for a week and see if I had any direct Twitter sales. I ended up canceling that and decided to use this promotion. I need to clear out the old stuff and I have plenty of wiggle room on all the others.

I got that on my other id, and I'm not listing much on it now. I wish they had done it on this one.

I only set up the buy 3 get FS, but I remember there was a trick to it & it did not work logically, the way it should. I got some help from Forum-Use in setting it up. I wish I could remember what part of the process worked 'wrong', it was def not intuitive, but I know that what Forum-Use had me do was the next thing I was gonna try LOL. I only mention this, cuz I think you are buds with him, so if you try again, you may want to have him on speed dial.
Once it was set up correctly, it worked fine & has for a year or 2.
ETA: I don't even understand what that sale is trying to say.

Zoe, I think you can use the shipping rules/shipping promo feature (not the same as the promo/"coupon" thing that forum-ID uses) and it works fine.

You will only get the discount if you choose the "order discount" sale under the "create promotion" drop down in your sales manager. The 50% off FVF will be reflected at the end of the sale (if I'm reading correctly).
This promo does not include: codeless coupon, shipping discount, sale event or accessory discount.

Is anyone else still trying to take advantage of this sale?
By my calculations, I have saved $43 and change in FVFs! Hoping to sell some of my higher priced stuff this month too so I can save even more.
