Ebay cheap listing day?

Anyone have any idea on when the next one will be.

I have loads of stuff I need to put on there.
Thanks

    You just have to wait until they come round. There was one about 10 days ago, so it won't be for two/three weeks.

    They only tend to let you know a few days in advance otherwise everyone would just wait for them. There seems to be something every few weeks so keep your eyes peeled.
  • Roughly 1 a month but not too long ago they did one every week so just wait & see. The last one was last Tuesday so maybe end of next week at the earliest I would have thought.

    Also the offer days are getting less generous. They went from 'free listing' a few years back to 5p listings days, but the one last week, was 15p per listing.

    Thanks for the feedback guys.:T

    I will hold fire for a few weeks to wait for a cheap listing day.

    I used to get messages from them in my ebay mailbox but didnt seem to get the one from the other day.

    I have been glued to Ebay in the hope of seeing a cheap listing day. Has anyone received an email notification or anything?

    You will probably have to wait another week or so yet as the last one was only 9 days ago.

    I’ve said this before (and i’ll say it again). Cheap listing days normally don’t include extra pics and whatever (apart from the last one)

    And then when it is cheap listing day ebay is flooded with items, which in effect means competition for your items is less as there are potentially more available.
    So, with that in mind, the question is… is it worth it – to save say 5/10p off each listing where the price realised may be less due to the increased competition?

    In my eyes cheap listing days favour only the buyers.
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    Thank you Smartie 1976... for saying that again that is...well worth considering.
