Ebay Free Listings Question

bsavage

Hi,
I was curious if anyone else saw this or can explain it? With the current special, assuming you don't have a store, we get 100 free listings with any start price per month. In the announcement, it says this is in addition to the 100 free $0.99 listings each month. At the end of last month, I could see how many I had left of both the free any start price listings and the free $0.99 listings, but this month, I can only see the number of any start price listings I have left. Anyone know why or how I can see the number of free $0.99 listings I have left?
TIA,
Britt

Edit to add: I tried to ask Ebay, but the wait was over an hour for chat. I sent an email as well, but they totally missed my question.

I do not know the exact answer to your question, but I do see that there is only the counter that keeps track of "list at any price" where in the past they had both "any price" and ".99" being counted seperately. That means they may have done away with the 100 free ".99" listings, not sure. If you have plenty of both to list I would suggest listing all your higher price listings first that way when you max out the "free at any price" maybe the ".99 free" will come back, or worse case you get charged less for the cheap listings.

I read the Ebay details to mean that in addition to the 100 auctions that could start at .99 we had another 100 that could start at any price. However, I listed a 100 auctions and now I am paying .10 for the .99 auctions.
List your higher starting prices first.

That's what I thought too. I haven't listed any $0.99 auctions yet this month, so I didn't know, though. I just didn't want to "waste" any of them. Here's from the announcement:

How is this special promotion different from eBay standard fees for Auction-style listings?
With eBay standard fees, sellers pay no Insertion Fees for their first 100 Auction-style listings in a month when their starting price is 99¢ or less and there is no reserve price. During this special month-long promotion, qualified sellers pay no Insertion Fees for Auction-style listings which have no reserve price, regardless of start price. There is a limit of 100 listings eligible for this promotional rate during the Promotion Period. That's in addition to the limit of 100 listings per month that applies to the eBay standard fees.
