    As the last one coincided with one the first Thursday in May last year and the one following that last year was the last Thursday in May, I'd recommend the next boycott to take place on Thursday 22nd or 29th May, then they can say they made them do it again!!

    So, my educated guess would be 22nd May;), tend to be Thursday before bank holiday, but could be the Thursday after.

    Alternatively have me make an educated guess as to when i think the next one will be due, and then avoid that date as I have never ever yet managed to guess one correctly!

    I still don't get the whole cheap listing day mania. Insertion fees are so cheap anyway, that there is not much to save in the first place. Final value fees are the big money earner for ebay, and they are not affected by any promotion. Besides, an extra 750,000 to 1,000,000 listings appearing each cheapy day only dilutes final selling prices, and makes searching and browsing a lot more difficult. You may save a pound or two on front end fees, but you stand to lose a LOT more by deflated prices. The smart way to save money during these days is either to buy up bargains to resell, or play for the relist fees with non-selling listings.

    Just noticed that they're offering free Gallery pics for the Summer - beginning 19 May (I think)!
