free listing for 30th April to 5th May

Thanks to Jwil on the other thread, I just checked and I too have 100 free listings. I didn't notice it when I listed some items this morning. You have to accept the offer.

Some advice -
If you have any listings remaining from the 20 allowed for the month, use them first before accepting the new offer.
I had 2 left of the 20 and I was going to list 2 items this evening (being the last day) but I accepted the offer and then listed the 2 items. The 2 came off the 100!
That does mean that the 2 of the monthly allowance will not be used unless I list 100 tonight!

Seems ebayers are receiving the invitation starting at different times of the day, so keep looking.

When you log on it pops up on the first page. No e-mail or message this time.

Please can we not 'chat' on the alerts thread as it sends an alert every single time. Please set up a dedicated thread for any discussion about the offers.

Thank you

I found mine at the bottom of my "All Selling" page, where the 20 free listings/schedules are, it had a button to click to "Get Offer".

Always make a habit of checking your promotions , they sneak offers in there all the time and rarely bother telling people there are offers available. I suspect that's why many people say they don't get offers any more- they are just not seeing them hidden away.

I had a free 100 offer last weekend but due to another imminent holiday decided to put my items up as a BIN with immediate payment required rather than auction them , and would urge other sellers to give it a try.

I only listed stuff that was on relist , some of which I have been relisting over and over again every time I got any free listings- sometimes with virtually no page views at all. This time as BINs I have sold a very high percentage of items. It's really odd, my sales have been steady, and just watching the active listings I had earmarked quite a lot of them for the charity shop due to not attracting any views- yet they have sold- potentially to the first person who viewed them if the ebay stats are to be believed. I have absolutely no explanation as to why this is the case- why would someone not want something on an auction- yet happily pay a slightly higher BIN figure?

I am extremely pleased though as these sales are really making a dent in the piles of stuff I have stuffed in cupboards and have lying around, and it's even supplied spending money for my holiday.

So, for any stubborn items- give BIN with immediate payment a try, you might just be surprised.
