    eBay will NEVER have a free listing day on a Sunday.

    Why's that??
  • PotatoChipPotatoChip Posts: 41 ✭
    Because Sunday is the highest volume listing day. eBay has free listing days on days where they feel that the amount of new listings will be very low.

    Well I think we will find out in about 10 minutes if you are correct.

    No FLD today, Sunday is one of their highest volume listing days anyway. If there is one it will be Monday or Tuesday.

    how has the free listing day worked in the past ?
    was it limited to any price range ?
    or only .99 cent auctions ?
    i'm assuming anything else cost extra (reserve, buy it now, extra pictures, etc)

    I see they listed a 10c 1-day listing day tomorrow. hopefully they still toss us a bone with the FREE Day.

    I don't recall what the limits (if any) on the FREE starting prices... i THINK 9.99 and under. But reserves, 10-days, bold, highlights, etc are still extra.

    the only information that i found on this, is that the .10c day is for the Canadian ebay site
  • wlf3wlf3 Posts: 356
    i thought i read it was for ebay.com, ebay.ca, and ebaymotors.com

    This is probably all they are giving this year. 10 cents is still a pretty good deal for auction style.
    Even at 700 items, that's only $70 in listing fees. But you can start the items at whatever price you'd like.

    eBay is big enough now where people list anyhow. Unless they go in the toilet, I don't expect a truly free day again for a long while.

    Best of luck! Jeremy

    Sounds like that is the free/cheap day for the year. oh well... $70 is better than $400+ I guess. image

    although I guess i can raise some of the minimums now.
