    Just received the 3 photo offer. Can't see the point myself, what do Ebay get out of extra photos being added? I've a trading card to list, front, back and .....??

    My husband's got the 3 photo free listing, on my account and our joint account, we've just got the standard 100 free listings, auction or BIN.

    Weird!

    This morning I got the 100 Free listings with 3 photos option.

    I do not have a .com account so why have I got the 5000 free listings mentioned? It makes no sense whatsoever.

    The same picture again? A button? Who dreamed up this one? The servers cannot cope with one photo on a Sunday night, let alone everyone loading up 3 each.

    Weird, I've got the hundred free on one account but not on the other, which I've ALWAYS had the free weekend listings on previously, and is above standard.

    Go figure.

    So it looks like there are 2 running at the same time, some normal free listing and some free listing when you add 3 photos. I've got the photos one but i'm not unpacking all my unsold items to take more photos, I may crop down some of them if I have spare time.

    The 5000 free listings on ebay.com are I believe just the normal amount you get for free over there, not sure why they are showing if you're not signed in to .com?

    I never get any of these offers :( admittedly I've only been selling for a few months but I'm standard rated with no defects & 100% feedback.

    Neither do I as a business seller.

    However, go to the bottom of your 'My Ebay' and 'Selling' page and go to the bottom, there is a 'promotion' box. See if there is anything in there.
