    Exactly - not really an offer at all unless the item does not sell.

    Aha now it makes sense, as you say, a very poor offer indeed on lower priced items
    Such a lot of different offers being trialled out there- and still nothing at all for business sellers :(

    I'm surprised it's taken eBay central so long to think of this one. it's going to make eBay a lot of 35p's and I suspect this offer will become the norm.

    Does anyone know if it will use your 20 completely free listings a month first before this 35p charge "free" listings?

    I suspect not. in the past my 100/day are always used first before starting on the monthly 20.

    Also any £1/£3 total FVF offer is used first, then follows the 100/day then the 20/month.

    Just listed an item and it used one of the 20 completely free listings.

    Just relisted a few things and they were deducted from the 20 free listings. It would be interesting to know if anyone with the standard 100 a day is seeing the same thing.

    Ive just noticed this 35p lark too. I only sell the odd thing on ebay and I dont think I have ever used up my 20 free items at one time. But like some of the others on here,it looks like my 100 free items "extra" has gone.

    It see there is some bloke in the midlands who normally has 1000 items on there,selling from doorknobs to Doors ,buttons Budgie cages etc.Unless he's very lucky or clever that 35p "sting" is gonna get him.

    Ebay,spawn of the devil ?

    1000 items hardly seems like a real private seller, so perhaps this is eBay's way finally doing something about the wrongly registered sellers.

    He should be a business seller then, so serves him right if he gets caught out
