MSE News: Ebay waives listing fees (FREE LISTING DAYS 18th & 19th Feb)

Oh dear, I forsee chaos ahead as the term is now conspicous by its absence, yet earlier I cut and paste it.

We're doomed

Tried looking at the announcement via different links and the no turbo lister clause has definitely gone.

However they have now highlighted this bit:

Members listing using the Auction-with-Buy It Now format will still be charged the Listing Upgrade Fee for Buy It Now.

Looks like they changed their mind and decided to let people use turbo lister.

I'm sure they got a ton of aggro from restricting it last time and having to refund so many sellers.

So are we all going to be brave and ty Turbolister?

Have sent an email and asked ebay for clarification but still no response.

The community boards seem happy that as the current screen doesn't exclude turbo lister then it can be used. Maybe just take a screen grab?

well I wasn;t going to bother... two kids running around, half term and the time it takes to list.... I'd rather do it in my own time on TL and pay the pence worth of fees.... however.... if TL can be used then I might just have a go!!!

Anyone else braving TL for free listing???

Tomorrow is not a free listing day, only Thursday and Friday but yes you can pay to schedule if you re read the announcement it explains what is allowed and what is not.
