    Booo, no powersellers. Still it would only save 5p.

    Lets have no FVF weekend please ebay.

    isn't it 10p?
  • Would this still apply if I set up my listings with the auction to start on Saturday - am going away on Friday and was going to put it all on tomorrow but if I can set it up to start Saturday and save me a few pennies - would do that.

    TIA

    and If the item is listed in 2 categories, the Insertion Fee will be 0 pence (£0.00) times 2 i.e. 0 pence (£0.00).

    ..can you down grade your account from business to private
    As far as I am aware, there is nothing preventing you from having multiple accounts.

    You could easily set up a new private account in time for this promotion.

    Your feedback will be zero which is not ideal but it will quickly build up.

    yes thats correct they will still charge you a final figure fee, which is a % of the total pirce the item sold for, but they will not charge you for listing your item, but please read the criteria for the free listing. i think its for auction items that you start at 99p and if you are a powerseller or have a business account you dont qualify for the offer.
