    :T No, you're first!


    Another one? After Sunday's fiasco? And a weird Wednesday one - does anyone end items on a Saturday?

    I get to experiment with my 30 unsolds again!

    Thanks!

    I really get the impression eBay are struggling - in comparison to usual - at the moment.

    Discount codes, freebies through the post, lots of cheap listing days. Wonder why?

    Personally I think Paypal is the problem, and the fees involved. Just costs a fortune to use Paypal, but it is the way to get higher sales!

    Ebay and paypal could both do with reducing fees.

    For the entire day of Wednesday 20 September 2006 (local UK time), sellers listing items using the Buy It Now Only (Fixed Price) format in an eligible category will pay a reduced 5 pence (£0.05) Insertion Fee per item listed. Please see below for more details.

    What's included.

    Only items listed in British Pounds Sterling on eBay.co.uk using the Buy It Now Only (Fixed Price) format will qualify for the promotion.
    Any item previously scheduled to go live on Wednesday 20 September will qualify for the promotion.
    If you re-list an item on Wednesday 20 September that had previously closed without a successful sale, the re-list will qualify for the promotion. If the re-listed item sells and is eligible under the eBay re-list policy, eBay will refund the Insertion Fee at the promotional price of 5 pence.
    Items listed in the 'Parts & Accessories' sub category of the 'Cars, Parts & Vehicles' category.
    Sellers can list items with any starting price to be included in the promotion.
    Please note: To sell with Buy It Now Only (Fixed Price) format you must either have 10 or more feedback or, if you have a PayPal account, you need to have 5 or more feedback.

    Can a mod delete this to spare my further embarrassment>?

    Does anyone know if you will have to pay more if you do a "buy it now" but allow offers?

    Or if you don't know, does anyone reckon you will?

    Couldn't see it mentioned in the T&Cs anywhere.
