All this week, eBay is offer sellers zero insertion fees for auction-style listings, so it's a great time to clear out that clutter.

The offer’s valid on Auction-style auctions, not Buy It Now Only (Fixed Price) auctions. See full rules. The offer closes at 00:00:01 Monday 31 August 2009.

[/title]

While there’s no fee to list your item, you’ll still have to pay a sale charge if someone buys it. This is a percentage of the auction’s closing price.

It’s worth remembering you don't pay a sale charge if your item doesn’t sell. Also normally, the more expensive your item, the more expensive the listing fee. For instance items priced under 99p cost are free to list, whereas items over £100 cost £1.30.

So the biggest savings are on items with a high starting prices. Though you’ll still save a bundle if you’re listing lots of small items.

The problem you may get though is as everyone and there dog is listing. There may be a lot more competing products with less buyers. So you may not get as good a price as if you waited and paid the listing fee

Historically all the cheap and free listing days were around bank holidays, pretty much since Ebay started.
