The title of the thread now sounds like ebay wont charge fees at all ever!
(wouldn't that be nice). A wee bit misleading this new title. As Ron said the original was more accurate and more useful

Hi there,

I am new to selling on ebay and I wanted to take the opportunity of free listings to try and sell my old imac. I found through this site a website that helps to make a customised listing as I want to use more than 1 photo. What I wanted to know is will I get charged for using this? and how do I apply this to ebay once the code once it is generated? Any help greatly appreciated - thanks

JD.

In light of today's announcement on Outside Advertising on listings, it seems that the ebay PR machine has once again worked it's black magic.

Create a huge plot of prime internet real estate by giving it away rent free, but then announce that it will have lots of adverts on it to make it profitable for ebay.

Although it was never going to be a deal too good to be true - there really is no such thing as a free lunch after all.

I went to upload some items and the fees are coming up for TL. I'm just updating TL as sometimes that helps. I've listed a ton of items so really hope it will be okay!

I hope everyone managed to get all the stuff listed they wanted. I've got a comfortingly large number of watchers and several bids already, so it looks like it may have been worth giving it go. However I agree with an earlier post that this impacts on business sellers as instead of a handful of items to pack via my business account this morning I only actually have one item, which is bad.
