List in advance of Ebay free listing days

Lara

I'd like to put a variation of items on ebay during their free listing and wonder about getting some of the listings ready today. Can someone remind me of where I can do this please? I haven't used it before and did keep a mental note of what it was called but can't for the life of me remember! :doh::)! Many thanks.

You are probably thinking of Turbolister, but unfortunately for the past year or so using that has meant you don't qualify for the free listings on those items.

However you can list onto ebay but rather than let them go live, schedule them for a date in advance. Then on the free listing day just edit them and start listing immediately.

Just remember to keep an eye on the scheduled dates though in case no free weekend comes along.

I've just had an Email to say there is no fee on Ebay this weekend.

Thanks Soolin! I thought you would probably let me know :T. I didn't realise dong it that way meant free listing was void. If you schedule to give live doesn't that cost too? Need to go off and read eBay again me thinks!:o:)

I am at work over the weekend and was going to try an list tonight and put a date for next week then tomorrow night just go and edit and change the date. Am I right in thinking that I will get this free and is this the right thing to do? Thanks

That's right- just 'edit' and list immediately to avoid fees.

When you say just edit, do you actually have to change something in the listing eg some of the wording, or is simply changing it to list immediately sufficient to avoid the fees?

I can't see EBay allowing this loophole to go on forever, so best make the most of it while we can I guess. Anyway I'll give it a try.

No - everyone but you

Only kidding. Not everyone seems to get them every time. But provided your account is private and not below standard - your in.
