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

chja

Like many, I got caught out by the Turbolister clause last time - have read several times and can see no mention of the restriction this time around.

What I will do though, is upload a single item with TL first and then check my eBay fees account to see that it has not been charged. If ok, will upload the rest, if not, just have to re-list items that didn't sell last time, via eBay re-list one at a time (bulk re-list charged also last time).

Me too, there is a long discssion on the community boards and it seems that Turbo lister doesn't show as excluded for anyone anymore.

It might be useful though for the first person who uploads tomorrow to report back , just in case . (yes, I don't trust ebay either!)

I'll bump this thread over the next couple of days so that we are all aware of this fee listing.

7 hours and 44 minutes to go until we know whether ebay are going to charge us for turbo lister or not.

can I just ask being a bit thick n all that :-)

is it only auction items that are free?

so say I put something on at a starting price of 2.50 - auction no charge

but if I put on a buy it now at £2.50 there would be a charge?

cheers

Sorry, I have a question too... if I upload a listing tonight and schedule it to start tomorrow, will the fees be charged? Have a few things to list, and not sure if I will be able to get online for long enough to do tomorrow. If not, if I write them out and save them and log in to complete them tomorrow, will I be charged that way? Thanks in advance.

What's included?

Any item previously scheduled to go live during the promotional period will qualify for the promotion.

Just bumping. I haven't listed anything yet though as my printer scanner is no longer recgnised by my clapped out PC so I can't get any photos up at all . (I have no useable USB ports on the PC as they blew up, so have to use the ports on the printer instead)

May take a mallet to PC at some point or thow it out the window, so if I go quiet you know I am unavoidably off line.

Just as an experiment I have uploaded something old from my turbo lister. The original screen calculated fees, but when you actually list it shows the fees as being totally discounted and says 'total fees GBP 0.00'.

So we can use turbo lister.

Double checking on my invoice on ebay it shows:

Can confirm also, no fees for using TL.
