mid week free listings

soolin

I know that many people have some midweek free listings on their private account - see the alert thread. I have a promotion for 100 items listed for free and have been listing as BIN with immediate payment required as I am going away again soon and didn't want to risk auctions.

However, just a quick warning- check your own offer carefully , there are at least 3 variations of the free listing offer- so double check what yours actually says. Mine is the usual 100 free either BIN or auction style. There is another one that requires BINs to have a best offer to qualify and another where paypal must be the only payment option.

Just be careful before you list that not only have you accepted the offer but that you have read the requirements.

I have the one where in the picture at the top it says fixed price with best offer but it the T&Cs it doesn't mention best offer at all and after doing a listing without best offer it did come off the 100 free.

Don't forget to keep an eye on the free relists as that offer is coming to an end and they have warned it will be chargeable on future.

Hi,

I also got the message with the 100 free listings (valid for 3 days) and the banner at the top says the same as previous poster Fixed price with best offer but nowhere in the terms does it say about the best offer bit.

Also can I use Auctiva to do my listings? Again I cant see any reference to 3rd party listings in the terms.

Thanks

I don't know about Auctiva as I haven't used it since they started to charge , however Turbolister is allowed- and it doesn't specifically exclude third party listers. Probably trying it on one listing and seeing if that shows as free before you do a mass upload.

I can't see this on the ebay announcements page?

They don't announce these individual offers, they are invite only.

I have also split your question from the alert thread, as the alerts thread is not for questions.

Where have you seen this advertised?

If you go into your account, click on selling, it shows if you have it.
