FREE LSTING. 1-8 th September

Try relisting one item at a time, ebay can be glitchy with multiple relists, oh and BTW, you should be proud of your dashboard with no lows at all, it shows it can be done.

There is no limit of 100 items a month before you need to upgrade to a business. At least two of my competitors list hundreds of items a month and still maintain private status (one even uses a business name and mentions his antique shop in his listings)

You can list 100 items a month under 99p free of charge, in addition to that you can use the Free listing weekends (or whole weeks) and list the maximum there as well. As there has been on average 2 FLW a month that would mean 300 free listings per month- which seems generous for a private seller.

You can have as many accounts as you like, but it is a grey area as to whether you can use that to double your free listings.You can always list more and pay for th elistings.

However, I would be careful in some categories about appearing to be trading and getting the forced upgrade to a business. Clothing seems to be one that ebay pick on quite a bit

Might be just my account thats limited to how much to sell then as under my ebay it says I can cell 100 items or up to £3,5000 whichever comes first - I click to increasse selling allowances and then asks me to upgrade to buiness to sell more...

Dont think Ill do more than 100 anyway (usually just relist unsold items on free listing day... but with it being 9 days... wanted to have a sort out... knowing me I still wont end up doing much more anyway ha!

I'm smiling at you saying that, thank you 590 sales (in 5 years right enough lol) and only ever had 1 neg.

Thanks again for the advice, will try the single relist instead of the multiple

Hey Scottish Lass,

In my ebay selling page I have a column on the left titled;-

"Listing Offers"
I have all the details about this latest 9 day free listings;-
"Free Insertion Fee Weekend
Zero Insertion Fee during promo weekend, 2nd price tranche and above, limited to 150 listings
Start: 01/09/12 End: 09/09/12 "

But under this in another box is the following;-
"First listing for free!
For an offer with any starting price –
from 3rd to 16th September 2012
Start: 03/09/12 End: 16/09/12 "

I can't be about the free 99p listings as that's for a month.
Does anyone know what this is all about as I can't find anything about it on ebay?

Can anyone confirm if I will be able to take advantage of this please? I have started writing my listing however thought I'd better check the t&cs - I see you have to be a seller achieving a minimum performance standards, however when I clicked the eBay link to 'view seller dashboard' it tells me I am not eligible to access this feature!

Until last week I was limited to selling 10 items per month, but having verified my PayPal account I can now sell up to 25.

Advice asap much appreciated, was hoping to get something listed to end on Sunday.

Thank you!

You are probably fine, you don't get a full expanded dashboard until you have 19 sets of unique feedback. It will show though before you confirm the listing what the fees are, so if it shows nothing you will be fine.

Thanks soolin, I carried on and yes it was free.

I just got additional photos for free - not sure if this is all categories or just some. It is in Baby, so not usually free (I have already paid for the unsold listings)
