    That might explain it then, can someone post up a copy of the email?

    in eligible categories    [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]so normal listing is OK[/FONT]

    Yup, it's for mobile listings only.
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Good idea in theory,
    I have blackberry mobile app, and can do everything on it, bid, relist, pay by paypal, but cant list a new item:(
    and reading online it looks like i am not the only one with this problem.

    It includes mobile apps rather than being mobile apps only

    http://pages.ebay.co.uk/promos/0IF_120324/index.html

    Items will only be eligible for this promotion if they are listed with the Quick Sell or Advanced Sell (Sell Your Item) forms or the eBay iPhone, eBay iPad, eBay Android, eBay Blackberry and eBay Windows Phone applications..

    Where does it say it's for mobile listings only? To me it looks no different from last week, they've just changed the promo logo to some generic smart phone.

    On the General Announcements page in ebay, this weekend's FL announcement is word for word same as last week.
