Free listing day Sunday 6th June

[PurpleFrog]

Just had an e-mail to say that Sunday will be a free listing day! So, that is your chance to list things with a reasonable starting price risk-free. Usual conditions apply, with normal listing upgrade prices.

Glad to get a reasonable period of notice this time. So I SHOULD be able to get organised...

make sure you don't go over your 100 a month allowance

I'm rarely organised enough to list as many as 50 items in a month!

But now I have selling manager I may be a bit faster

Although it doesn't seem to take the photos for you ....

I listed 77 items last month (unheard of for me as usually about 10 a month) and I was still flagged as having a warning for too many listings

I wish I didnt know about the seller dashboard.

I listed 30 items last free listings weeekend.

Want to list again but will be away from 12th-14th June I.e day before and after 7 day auction ends...any advice?

I thought that you could only list 100 things a month at 99p for free and over that you got charged 10p a go?

surely a free listing day you can get as many as you like on at any price ?

list for 10 days ?

Ooh - thank you, have dug out a bunch of stuff to sell.
However have both lost my camera and not got a PC plugged in to upload pics, and will be out most of Sunday... bet the site won't let me in in the evening!

From June 2010 all private sellers will be limited to 100 free auction-style listings per month. Auction-style listings beyond 100 will be allowed, but will be charged an insertion fee.

It is unclear whether you will have to pay if you list over 100 in a month, whether it is free listing day or not - no one really knows the answer , including ebay probably. I'd suggest you keep a check on whether you are being charged or not.

I had the email too. Glad i didn't get around to listing last weekend. Friend has asked me to sell a pile of Peppa Pig toys too, so i had better ask her for them before Sunday!

sixlostmonkeys - eBay have just issued a new update to their policy on 100 free auction-style listings per month. But, it doesn't make it any clearer! I think it is only talking about items with a starting price of 0.99, but I am not sure. Also, what is their definition of "month". Are they talking about calendar months only or any consecutive 30/31 days?

re a month - that is another point that is unclear - no one seems to know the answer.

It still just states "100 free auction-style listings per month" which sounds like it includes free listing days and not just the usual 99p ones - but who knows?

Ugh, before I go thru the rigamarole, can anyone please answer these questions:

1. If I schedule a listing to start on Sunday, do I get to list it for free, or do I have to create the actual listing during the hours of Sunday in order to list for free?

2. If the listing is a Buy-It-Now fixed price, can I list for free on Sunday, or are BIN sales excluded from free listing day offer?

thanks so much!!
