    i have to say that i've never got very excited about their 10p listings day or whatever, as there will be more people selling on those days and there really isn't much of a saving..

    Don't understand sorry :confused::confused:

    Cheap listing days are usually just for a bog standard listing, if you want anything extra like more pics, featured, subtitle etc, you have to pay the extra for them.

    Sorry I don't understand either :confused:

    Tomorrow items listed regardless of the normal basic listing charge will cost 5p. Any other charges, for instance gallery will still be charged.

    Therefore it is possible to place 'an advert' on ebay for 5p as long as you don't opt for extras.

  • The last cheap listing day was for clothes, shoes and accessories only, but did include free gallery pics. Sadly tomorrow's doesn't. Clothes are difficult to sell without Gallery, but there are some items (e.g. CDs) which don't really need it.
    Extra pics can be added for free if you use a tool like Turbo Lister or Auctiva, with photos hosted off eBay.
