eBay Turbo lister - quick question

If I'm listing items all as auctions starting at 0.99p with no extras, is it free to use with no additional costs?
I remember getting turbo lister about 2 years ago, I still have it installed and have updated it a couple of times but I never actually used it because I was always under the impression eBay would charge you to use it when listing?
As I'm an infrequent seller I simply stored a bunch of crap i wanted to sell on turbo lister with the intention of copying and pasting it into ebay when i had time to clear it out. Now, every so often eBay offer "free insertion" weekends. I think at some point eBay must have made a change that allowed personal sellers to sell for free if ut was auction style and starting under £1?
So with that last change in mind, if accurate, could I know list auction style >£1 using turbo lister without incurring extra costs?

As a private seller you get 100 free listings a month as long as they start at 99p or less- assuming your account is in good standing. You can use TL for those but it does show the charge as a fee before you list but on the confirmation of listing screen it shows no charge.
However using TL on a free listing weekend will incur a full listing charge.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.

Instrad of tubo lister list them as usual on enay but select to delay the start and set a dat well into the futrure, soi when you are ready to list just revise your listing and remove the delayed start. This also work on free listing weekend.0

On that final point, reading the t&c's for free insertion weekends like this one for easter weekend, it states that if you list auction style at 0.01-0.99p it won't be included as part of the promotion and instead go towards your 100 free listings a month. So if I list now, during the promotional period, using turbo lister, but, list at >£1 will it still be free or will it charge me?
I've set up a few items on turbo lister and want to throw them up today but worried it will charge me because of the promotional period.sam.4000 wrote:Instrad of tubo lister list them as usual on enay but select to delay the start and set a dat well into the futrure, soi when you are ready to list just revise your listing and remove the delayed start.

Interesting idea, I have 2 questions on this, usually when you set a listing to be posted in the future it charges you? Are you saying if you list it way in the future (X time?) then it won't charge you?
Secondly, is there a limit to how many times you can do this simultaneously? I recall that if I make a listing and hit "save for later" I can only store that one, e.g. I can not make/start another listing until I have completed the first one
Thank you both, by the way0
