*** 5p Listing day - September 4th ***

Fab spot! ‘5p listing day’ are the words every eBayer loves to hear. Normally eBay charges a fee to list your items of between 10p and £1.90, depending on your start price.

Yet this Thurs 4 September, initial listing fees are slashed to just 5p, no matter what the start price. So list an Xbox 360 with a starting price of £50, and the listing fee will be 5p, instead of £1. These days are especially good for items with high start prices of £100 plus, as you’ll save more. Read this deal's full rules.

You may receive an Insertion Fee Credit if this relisted item sells.

Double check they meet the requirements , things like having a reserve can make the listings full price.
