Cheaper to place an auction but is that any good if competition increases?

Why can't they stagger cheap listing days so that they're spread around? Or maybe had a voucher system. Wouldn't that make cheap listings more effective?

If I may ask... why do people only list their tat on cheap listing days? Everyone seems to keep their worst items just for this occasion. And then they complain about it not selling... Or am I misunderstanding?

I use it (or would if I got round to it) to list expensive stuff you want to list with a higher starting price.

Me too, got few DVD boxsets to list. would rather be able to set a higher price than risk them selling for 99p

Since the listing fees are the same whether or not the item sells, some of us are reluctant to pay full listing fees for items we're not sure will sell. Listing fees for unsold items can add up to quite a lot at regular prices. I especially resent paying double for listing in 2 categories at full price, so I tend to list items which belong in more than one category on cheap days. I don't only list tat on cheap listing day, but since there tends to be more selling competition on cheap days, I normally only use them for my better items if they're unusual enough to be relatively unaffected by market flooding.
