being charged on free listings day

Hi, any help would be much appreciated.
I tried listing a top that previously didn't sell.
I did not go through relist or sell similar. It was as a new item on the quck sell yet it is still charging me.
Am i missing the point of the free listings day? Is it only for item that have not been oreviously listed? If so, I cannot find anything in the t&c's with regards to this.
Thanks in advance

  • I know if doesn't apply to listings of <£1 - does that apply to your top?

    Hmmm - I'm trying to list a .99p item (start, but it might not go higher), and it's giving an insertion fee of 35p.

    Add to that the included postage & packaging and the completion fees, it'll mean nothing for me!

    I tried £1.01 and it still shows 35p.

    Aha! Rather than amending the price, I re-started the listing and set the price to £1 and it went in free.

    Will continue to try.

    How strange then - when I tried 99p it wouldn't give it free, but when I did £1 it did.

    And for others it's only allowing 99p.

    Check the photo options.

    I'm still an Ebay newbie, so still finding my way around. I find that occasionally (?randomly) the photo boxes are automatically selected to superduperupgradedelux ie all the options are ticked, costing (extra) money.
    Your biggest asset is TIME! I'm focused on multi-generational financial freedom.

    I've just tested the relist option for a £2 item and the cost is free. Are you chosing to list it under more than one category?

    Read the free listing day you will find it will allow you to sell upto 100 items starting for at least £1. So if you start it at 99p you will pay for the listing. Also if you try and list over 100 items you will pay for however many you list over the 100. From tomorrow it will go back to the normal system which is i you are a private seller you can list upto 100 items in a calender month for under £1 for free so tomorrow you will need to start at 99p. Hope that makes sense lol
