Free Listing Day and Ebay have charged me for every listing...

I listed 30 items today because it was free listing day.

All items are auctions with no upgrades etc.

Went to check my account fees and they've only gone and charged me for every auction.

Bloody disgrace. :mad:

    You didn't use a third party lister by any chance did you?

    Specifically excluded from this offer day I'm afraid. If you look back at the full announcement all third party listers are excluded you must sell direct on ebay using their sell your item tool.

    We were discussing this on the various other threads as we noticed it earlier in the week.

    They are hardly 'ever changing', each free listing day has terms and conditions. You only actually have to read them once, it takes all of what 2 minutes?

    Well they changed this last 'free listing' from, 'free Turbo Lister' to 'Turbo Lister requires fee'.

    But I really should have read the new T+Cs. Would have literally taken one click and I would have known.

    I suspect that people trust ebay more than I do, I always read the small print as I've been doing this long enough to know about some of the other restrictions that have placed in the past. For instance they've had free listings days where listings were limited by number or categories. We've had free days for specially invited sellers only. Always assume there is something in those terms and conditions that you need to see, and you can't go wrong.

  • Thanks for the information, I didn't realise I would be charged for listing via Turbo Lister either.

    Someone on another thread mentioned that bulk relisting on ebay seemed to trigger a fee whereas relisting one at a time did not.
