moneypooh

I saw that too, looks like they are trying to maximise on the sellers before the new feedback rules come into effect. These two offers, gallery photo March and this cheap listing day are VERY close together - or am I being too cynical??:cool:

Add to that the "International Visibility Upgrade" fee that has just been introduced...

What the eBay giveth, the eBay taketh away...

ahll

I find this all very confusing. If I was to put my sat nav on ebay today would I qualify for the 5p listing or not ? Do you still have ti pay extra to add photo's ?

What new feedback rules ?

No need to be harsh! They were answering the previous posters question (incidentally a 1,000+ post MSE member who obviously didn't know about it...)
