    All future free listing weekens/days will be limited to 100 free listings of £1 upwards.

    Thats according to Ebay adviser on ebays seller central.

    About time too, ideally they will limit these FLW to once a month as well.

  • As a private seller, I think I'd be hard pressed to find over 100 unwanted, saleable items, lying around the house, every time there is a free listing day!

    I was under the impression that eBay was utilising the free listing weekends to effectively 'weed out' the business sellers, who are covertly selling as private sellers.

    ... But if someone is managing to list 1,400+ items and still go undetected, perhaps not!

    I think the problem is they dont have enough staff.

    I think that's because this time, you get charged if you relist in more than one category.

    I've just tried relisting an item unsold from last time and got prompted with a listing fee. But when I deleted one of the categories, the charge was £0.00

    I just tried a relist and it worked for me.

    I'm still getting a listing fee when I try to relist several items. They are all in one category as I never list in more than one.

    If I relist one item on it's own the fee disappears, but I don't fancy doing that 100 times.

    It only takes about 20 seconds to relist, might as well before you charity shop the lot. Anyway, I don't believe it has ever been possible to bulk relist on a FLW.

    I managed to bulk relist 110 unsold items during the last free listing weekend. I highlighted all my unsold items and clicked 'relist'.
