    Nope none of us know. We usually get a couple of days warning and personally I tend to see someone mention it on here even before i get an email from ebay.

    In previous years there has been a cheap or free listing day to end to co incide with Christmas day, I suspect that is to keep the number of listings high even after the Christmas rush so the figures look good for the investors.

    Thanks Soolin I will keep an eye open on here then.
    Hope there is as i'v loads to list.
  • The trend has seemed to be every two weeks for about the last 6 weeks with the last one being free listing if you donated a pound to children in need with that in mind if that follows it would be this weekend ....... but no one ever knows till nearer the time

    I would think it could be this weekend, just enough days for items to end and factorr in postage times for those with 10 days listing.
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time
  • Ebay......no more free listing days ...please......
    Instant Credit means Instant Debit!

    Walking to the pub IS exercise! :beer:
  • ebay seem to spring the free listing days on users - i had an online chat with an ebay representative a few weeks ago and enquired when the next free day was, they said they didnt know - and then ebay announced it the next day!!!! they will probably do it this weekend or next to get the buyers spending

    I feel your pain. I sometimes wonder why ebay dislike us business sellers so much. Give us a break.
