Ebay Free Listing Day Today/Tommorow (18th, 19th)

So I just heard its free listing today, the problem is, when I listed the item, my account still got charged £1,30. When free listing day in Janurary happened, it wouldn't charge you... So what gives? (refund after sale perhaps? If so, where does it state this in the T&C I couldn't see that anywhere.)

Thanks!

    I'm not sure where you saw the announcement about the free listing day as I haven't come across it and it isn't on the ebay announcements?

    Can you link to the announcement you are looking at?

    It does seem weird though to have another FLD only 3 days after the last one, OP I suspect someone may be having a joke at your expense.
