Can you use Turbolister and still have free listings for this? I seem to remember some people saying they have been charged in the past...

Thanks

This one does not appear to exclude turbo lister.

I do have some suggestions and welcome suggestions from others as well. If you are a business seller list this evening very late as you may get picked up with people doing the 'ends soonest' search in 9 days time ready to put last minute bids in on day 10. However busienss sellers who sell in categories frequented by private sellers might then want to refrain from listing for a clear three days.

Private sellers using the FLD, be careful, get too many listings and you may put yourself on the 'upgrade to business' radar. Also don't waste a FLD with 99p listings, the 99p ones still count towards your free 100 listings a month.

If I list an item with a minimum bid e.g. 2.50, does a bid like this count?

It says any starting price, so yes, I would think so.

Very handy for me as I have some bags to sell.

Just bumping to remind people.

Whilst this can force prices down it is worth a punt if you have stuff that you aren't sure about. My son is listing everything that isn't physically attached to the house, he needs money to buy his own place, even the cat is looking nervous.

Can someone please provide the link to the UK turbo lister?

I've read through the sticky on here, but downloaded the US turbo lister which didn't allow a change to sterling

Thanks in advance
