    Ok just realised that I have used up my 20 free listing for this month.
    Rats I thought I had listed some last weekend when there were 100 free listings. Oh well, may as well have a cuppa and watch some tv

    Oh well, I guess I can start again in a couple of days.
    I should have been more selective with what I listed this month... I did the easy things first!
    I can't even save things in scheduled listings without being charged!
    ho,hum

    If you save things in schedule....best to do this for about 3 weeks in advance....then when a free listing weekend happens just edit to start now and you won't be charged.
    Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid doing altogether.:D

    I tried to leave some in schedule but I think Ebay wanted to charge me 35p listing. I had already used up all 20 of my free listing slots... so is that the case.. would I have been charged?

    The advice is to schedule them and then list when there is a free listing day. You are only charged when you list.
