    It will fill the site with tat, junk, and huge numbers of multiple listings as usual, making your listings very hard to find for a week or so and reducing your overall selling prices by having massive over-supply.

    But it is an ideal opportunity to reduce your selling fees for the next 3 months. ;-)

    eBay seem to have abandoned the straightforward, old-style 10p and 5p listing days - most, recently, have had restrictions or conditions (like the March? one where you had to offer free postage to qualify for the listing reduction). I can't understand where they're going with it anymore :confused:

    eBay are beginning to p*ss me off :mad:

    They're a monopoly now, Tazbar has not really kicked off, so in the absence of competition they can do what they like...

    i expect its ok if you want to list some low priced.. or items which have struggled to sell in the past.......

    but on saying that i know a lot of people that start all their listings at 99p.. even if its worth mega money... and take the risk that it will sell for what is worth

    i tried this before.... and only had the 1 bid on things so....had my fingers burned there......lol.....

    might list some bits that have been lying round for a while.... have a bit of a de-clutter....

    There's always Loot, at least it's free.

    Although you do end up dealing with the rank and file face to face...
