Yes I just got that email too - shame it's not 200 listings a month though! I hope this doesn't do away with the FLW's .

From ebay FAQ

We will continue to run regular listing promotions. So if you think you’re going to exceed your 20 listing allowance in a particular month (100 listing allowance for Shop sellers), look out for these.

But they are taking away the 100 free listings for 99p and under auctions :-(


As someone that regularly uses ALL of them each month I would hardly call this a nice surprise :-(

I just got the email. This sounds perfect for me. I don't tend to list much, but it will be good to be able to list a few more BINs.

It does look rubbish actually doesn't it. 20 free listings instead of 100 99p ones and listing fee of 35p for 0.99-4.99 starting price up from 0.15?! Why they haven't learned yet that if they give more free listings more things sell at higher starting prices thus earning them higher FVF'! I've sold the most things in March over the last two years and that's because of the constant free listing in March. Though I guess this is the way they are charging for the 3 free relists they introduced.

As a business seller, I'm glad. Too many "private" sellers abusing the 100 free listings and FLW.

I find it impossible to believe that someone not running a business would require 1200 free listings per year.

Same. How can a private seller find 100 items a month to list? I mean, sure if you're clearing out a whole house or massive collection, but I can't imagine that many people are doing that.

I much prefer 20 listings that I can start at any price/BINs. I'd never manage to list 100 things in one month and don't like to risk things selling for 99p either.

Believe me you can easily get up to 100 listings, because only 10-20 % sell each time if you list 20 new things each free listing weekend then just keep relisting the unsold ones it does all add up.
