Hello

I have spent 14 hours solid preparing listings on turbo lister - for sunday free lsiting day on ebay

Just seen on the terms n conditions that it aint free if you use turbo lister. I have 85 items, most with starting prices in excess of £15....

any ways round this, or am I stuffed?

cheers

    You do know it excludes business sellers anyway?

    I think Soolin mentioned this about Turbo lister not being included last week
    As Martin says - please be nice - there is no such thing as a stupid question ! ;)

    yeah Soolin did point out it was in the terms and conditions, no professional tools can be used!! so maybe copy paste over what u can into normal ebay listing?! be much slower though!! but avoiding fees thats the only option im afraid, good luck with it all :)

    I'm afraid you'll have to manually list them all, third party listers were excluded this time round.

    The talk is they are trying to stop the mega listers who are really businesses masquerading as a private seller.

    I just learnt this the hard way.

    Listed 30 items via turbo lister, a nice fat fee of £15.00 I was not expecting.

    Damn You Ebay!!!!!! :mad:

    So I'm guessing promotional days don't apply to business sellers?
    They should block TL ONLY if there are consistently 'new' items or loads of relists, or duplicates. Bah.

    Nope, businesses never get the freebies etc.

    But we get £10 - £15 (£11.66 on the invoice summary we got yesterday) knocked off our fees a month anyway, so I don't mind too much :p
