    There is no such thing as FLDs on Ebay anymore. Only time they ever had them before was a day or 2 after Christmas. Sounds like a phishing scam.

    Good Afternoon,
    Just checked my E-Bay, looks legit to me, they still do this every once in awhile. Good only on stuff with starting price up to $9.99.

    "I got an email saying so, but I don't see it in my messages."

    If you do not see them in my messages they are not from eBay.

    "Only time they ever had them before was a day or 2 after Christmas."

    There has been many that had nothing to do with Christmas. Such as the ones that were make-ups for when the system goes down.

    Who knows when the next will be but historically it seems about once every six months....with less the last two years.

    In a somewhat related note. A free listing day and a quote from me in Tuff Stuff might have been the reason why eBay stopped showing us the current number of auctions. I was quoted in Tuff Stuff how the number went up and that auctions got less bids, how I had sold stuff for less money and purchased things real cheap that week. Right after the Tuff Stuff came out, eBay stopped showing the current auction number. Can't remember which issue it was, but it had Manning on the cover and it was several years ago.

    Checked all 4 of my Ebay accounts and all their related emails and nothing from Ebay about it.

    Nothing on Ebay discussion boards about it.. I am betting it is a phishing email.. Were there any links in the email?


    I found it..

    You will still be charged for the Gallery so this is only a kinda free day.

    triple post



    so you BUY gallery and get to "insert" for free? How much is gallery?
  • EagleEyeKidEagleEyeKid Posts: 4,496 ✭✭
    Gallery is .35 cents, so you're only saving .05 f-ing cents
    since 9.99 and under is .40 cent insertion fee.

  • RipublicaninMassRipublicaninMass Posts: 10,051 ✭✭✭
    If it sounds TOO GOOD to be true image
  • packCollectorpackCollector Posts: 2,786 ✭✭✭
    yup, this is a waste of a promotion. if you start it at .99 cents , it is costing you more!
  • rube26105rube26105 Posts: 10,225 ✭✭
    i got it too,i got 2,000 buy it nows on gallert now,dont need any more 35 cent ones to add to my confusion, leisa right, around christmas you get free listings
  • 1neatstuff1neatstuff Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭
    is ebay really serious this is no deal for me ....what a joke...they make this sound like there doing you a huge favor ...unrealimage
  • LeiascardsLeiascards Posts: 3,233
    They have not done the FLD around Christmas the past 3 years ;ast year it was a 10 cent listing day.
  • killingdreamkillingdream Posts: 232
    Does anyone else think that this whole thing is just a bit deceptive of them. It is not exactly clear.
  • rube26105rube26105 Posts: 10,225 ✭✭
    thats half of ebays policies i think, deception lol
  • LeiascardsLeiascards Posts: 3,233
    Anytime they have a listing special you have to read the fine print. Considering I start 95% of all my items at less than 99 cents these specials rarely affect me this one does nothing for me.
  • gemintgemint Posts: 6,186 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Look at it on the bright side, we probably won't be subjected to 100,000 Levi's auctions now.

    Speaking of ebay listing specials , does anyone know if they are ever going to run anymore cheap general listing days? It's been months since they have had any. I like to use them to relist unsold stuff and risky stuff that I don't know if there is a demand for.
  • LeiascardsLeiascards Posts: 3,233
    This would be a replacement for one. Only one you can truly count on is the one right after Christmas that occurs like clockwork everyyear.
  • rube26105rube26105 Posts: 10,225 ✭✭
    ebay might lose a buck lol-imagine that,they are cheap anymore,we ought to mob greedy meg,fees are rediculous with ebay and paypal i started it was 20 cents for a 9.99 auction and 3 cents buy it now i believe
