Free listing this weekend

Not for business sellers.0 -
If anyone is intending to use this free listing weekend don't wait to close to end of play tomorrow. There appears to abe a few issues already- I suspect private sellers have been waiting for a while and there is some heavy listing this weekend slowing things up.
I have assisted someone to set up a selling account today- and the verification took a while, and even now the full phone verification has not been cleared- although she is able to list. At first it was saying that she could not list until she verified her land line- but after two failed attempts with an ebay message saying the pin could not be input at this time due to difficulties- she has managed to list.
Also, out of interest there was a clear warning when she listed her first thing that she had a listing limit of 10 items per month and another link showed via paypal saying funds would be held for 21 days.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

AS a buyer I am rather cheered by the idea that new sellers have some limits. It was still rather too easy though to open a selling account- it took us no more than 20 minutes in all and that allowed for all the 'error' messages and such like .I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

I suppose in that respect, but I always look at a sellers feedback score for an indication of that, and look through their recent bids and sales to see what they've been upto. And very rarely buy off new sellers.0 -
The 10 listing thing must be new - I never had that!The Fields are Green, The sky is blue, the River Nene goes winding through, The market square is Cobblestoned, It shakes the old dears to their bones, A finer town you'll never see, A finer town they'll never be, Big city lights don't bother me, Northampton Town I'm proud to be!0

I think it is quite recent, I suspect they are trying to stop the scam sellers opening an account and immediately listing thousands of pounds worth of stuff. My friend also had a sales limit as well (but i can't remember what it was- possibly £600?). So the statement said you can either sell 10 items or £600 worth of items per month- whichever total you reach first.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Just a heads up, looks like the picture uploader is failing to work for a few people- so items are being listed without photos.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
