ebay free listing promo's

Can anyone tell me when these days are?

I have sorted out loads of items i need to put up asap, however my friend has said to wait for a free listing promotion.

Do they come around often...and how would i find out about them?

Im just trying to weigh up if its worth waiting (when i could do with the cash like NOW)!

Any advice would be great, thanks xxx:p

    usually on the same week .... the only problem is EVERYONE lists at the same time so you might not get a good price for your item good 4 buying tho ; i would be wary of xmas post now as well ... ramp up by the royal mail is next monday ... that when the casuals start ... more items go MISSING at this time than any when else

    I've known them in the past to allow free 10 days listings but most leave it as the default 7 days, this could be a good strategy to avoiding the mass listings... depending on your item the additional listings may not be a bad thing
