Is there any way to 'delay' the start of auctions

xxdeebeexx

Hi, I have a bit of time on my hands during the week and wanted to list Ebay auctions ready for the free listing days.
I used to use Turbo lister but have to pay to upload anything over 99p.
I'm pretty sure that you, clever people, have found a way to 'amass' listings for the free listing weekends.

Would someone be kind enough to point me towards the relevant posts please?

When you list an item there are two options - list item immediately or you can schedule it to start at a later date. You can then choose a date in the future and when it comes to free listings change to start immediately.

Just to add to this, don't be put off by the fact that when you schedule it tells you there will be a charge of 6p, I think it is. As long as you make it live before the scheduled date, the 6p is never charged.

Thank you so much, you have made my day!
What a difference this will make to me.
The free listing weekends have been a nightmare in my house as I have had to rush to get everything done.


Bliss, I can now pace myself.

Just one quick question...... where do you find the scheduled listings... do they show in your account?

They will show after the active selling under the heading scheduled listings.

You can also 'save for later' which shows at the top right of the page when you create the listing. It saves all the details so you can check/complete and activate when you are ready without having to do the schedule listing.

All saved for laters are kept on the 'sell an item' page when you go back onto it. HTH.
