Ebay - Free Listings for UK?

Simcut · 03-04-2005, 00:17

Hey guys,

Just wondering, do free listings on Ebay UK happen at all, anyone know when they occur and how I can find out? I am wanting to sell masses of stuff and dotn want to pay through the roof for listing fees and then find out there's a "free listing" day coming up... they happen on Ebay US and DE but not on the UK as far as I know.

Please could someone advise me?

Thanks

Yes of course they do. They occur all the time. All you need to do is buy something or sell something and you will be updated.

I suspect the whole ebay system may have ben geared to exclude cheap no neck wasters, but maybe thats different in the states?

they do do them, i've receiving many emails about them... looking over my emails, i think the the last one was Sunday March 13th 2005.... not sure when the next one is...

however... i got an emil yesturday saying that there'll be a 5p listing day on Tuesday 5th of april 2005, for items with a starting price of between 1p and 99p...

While thats not quite a free listing day you were after, it's still ceaper than the standard rpcie if ur gonna be starting with a low price... i'll post back here when i find out about the next free listing day...

hmm, I have been a user of Ebay since 2001 and I have NEVER got these emails

I've been a seller and buyer for many years and never got any emails about them.

Perhaps you are not subscribed to the many thousands of email updates that ebay send you, or you do not read them, or your email client blocks them?

I bought a car stereo on there recently and despite checking all the boxes they send me crap 17 times an hour - at least one of these hinted at a free listing day if the total value of your item was less than 9p inc p&p

I got an ebay UK email today advertising a free listing day (on Tuesday).
They usually have tight arsed conditions though.
e.g. 99p starting bid and all the auciton features are still extra.

If you don't get the promotion emails for some reason then visit the ebay's forums etc regularly `cos I'm sure they are advertised there.

it's not a free listing day it's a 5p listing day

but lsting is so cheap anyway... im confused, anything worth selling on ebay, more than covers the cost of listing it.. just do what seems to beo what everyone else does, add the listing fee into your p&p!

I know what then, lets have an "ebay free listing" thread, where when one is due, someone reminds us

Simcut · 11-04-2005, 17:59

Hello again all,

It would appear I did not get the emails, and I did not subscribe to get them, I have done just now, so fingers crossed I will do... good idea from zoombini though!
