Not quite free fixed price listings. Looks like you can do an auction style with a fixed price this time, but you are going to get charged the upgrade fee if you do.
What included
Starting price for Auction-style listings or Auction-style with Buy It Now option listings must be £1 or more. Price for Fixed Price listings must be £0.99 or more. Listings using the Auction-style with Buy It Now format will be charged the Listing Upgrade Fee for Buy It Now.
What's Excluded
Fixed Price (Buy It Now) format listings.0 -
This is confusing!
It says "your 2 ways to list with zero insertion fees" which are 'auction style' and;
"Fixed Price - Great for when you already have a price in mind, list items at a set price, so buyers can buy them right away"

Had another look - I think BINs are included,
they've forgotten to update the standard T&Cs linked to this particular deal which are shown in No Eye Dear's post0 -
I think I'll simply try listing a Buy It Now and n Auction with Buy It Now and in each case, just before submitting the auction, I'll see if there is a charge.Had another look - I think BINs are included,

If there is a charge shown, I'll simply revert to auction listings.
I have found in the past that Buy-It-Nows work best for low value, impulse purchases - but for higher value items, where a bidding war sometimes breaks out, they are less useful.

The actual headline note says 'BIN's now included'- so that is a real killer for business sellers who used to only have to contend with auctions running.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.

I have listed several 30-day Buy-It-Now listings and wasn't charged anything.porto_bello wrote: »I think I'll simply try listing a Buy It Now and n Auction with Buy It Now and in each case, just before submitting the auction, I'll see if there is a charge.
I'm guessing that Buy-It-Nows rather than auctions will make more attractive propositions as impulse/last minute Christmas presents, so I'm relisting everything previously unsold as an auction, as Buy - It - Nows."The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing.

Free listing weekends are good, I only like to sell items when they are around.0
