10p listing day Thursday 19th April *merged threads*

What’s the deal?

This Thursday 19 April 2007 , eBay* is having a 10p Listing Day, so it's a great time to dejunk those cupboards.

What’s included?

The offer’s valid on Auction-style, Auction-with-Buy It Now or Buy It Now Only (Fixed Price) auctions. See full T&Cs

How much will I pay?

While it only costs 10p to list your item, you’ll still have to pay a sale charge if someone buys it. This is a percentage of the auction’s closing price.

As an example, if you sell your item for £28 you’ll pay only a 10p listing fee, then £1.47 sale charge. See a full breakdown of eBay fees.

How to make the biggest savings.

It’s worth remembering you don't pay a sale charge if your item doesn’t sell; so if no one buys it you’ll only lose 10p.

Also normally, the more expensive your item, the more expensive the listing fee. For instance items priced under 99p cost only £15p to list, whereas items over £100 cost £2. So the biggest savings are on items with a high buy-it-now price of £100. Though you’ll still save a bundle if you’re listing lots of small items.

And for that you deserve a biscuit.

Help yourself from the MSE biscuit barrel but pleased don't take the last Jaffa Cake. That is mine.

I don't see the big deal anymore as dvds are what I sell and they are 10p to list anyways as buy it now. FVF's are like 9% now so this is like taking the biscuit

I cant see anywhere that it says it is limited to a 7 day listing? Could we do a 10 day listing so that it ends on a Sunday?

Yes, You can schedule them to start on Thursday (any time during the day that you like) You can start doing the listings now and schedule them if you like. I've been doing it for the last couple of hours.:j

What I found though is that if I schedule them to start at 7.00pm for example the listing doesnt turn up until 8.00pm. So there seems to be an hour time difference for some reason.
