I'm guessing another eBay special sale some time this week. Most likely tomorrow or Wednesday. Perhaps, next week. Of course, I could be wrong. Get ready to list, list, list!

Well, it just hit the wire and it's like adding insult to injury. From what I gather, is "Spend extra money on upgrades and we'll let you have it at 50% off:. Am I missing something here? Somebody please tell me I'm wrong and somewhere in there is a 10 cent listing day that I've missed.

Nah, that's not our sale. That's eBay Motors. I don't sell cars, do you? Our sale is coming. Get ready!
Wouldn't it have been today? Or do they always have them in the middle of the week? I should start paying attention..
Oh, Auntie Em. I hope so.

hopefully we'll have a real sale soon
Im am also looking for them to announce a listing sale of some type tommorow Tuesday 11th. I think if they dont anounce it tomorrow it wont be until next week...There sale pattern fell on the weekend this month and it screwed the whole deal up. I spent all week working on this tv guide auction to get ready for this sale..I hope it comes tomorrow..if not im going to have to throw 5 or 10 items up there for a 5 day listing.
Well, they did give us a 'sale' (if you can call it that) but not exactly what I was hoping for..........wahhhhhhhhhh.
Oh well.
Oh well.
i am thinking about trying the home pg featured to see what happens. but dunno. everyone else will be doing it too
REMEMBER the 10¢ listing days went up to 20¢ listing days the week before ebay live.
I don't see another 10¢, or FREE listing day in our future.

Not what I was looking for either magie...grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
We dont know how well the .20¢ listing sale went last month..if it didnt go as well for ebay as they expected...Im sure we will continue to have .10¢ listing sales. If it went well, then Im sure BTPS is right on about never having another one.
If they dont give us one next month, maybe we should get a petition going to bring back the .10¢ days and we can go to all these seller boards and get some names.
Do you guys really do that well with these sale days? I know a lot of people (elsewhere) complain that it makes the site way too cluttered with cheap junk and buries their listings...
I don't list enough (or enough high-dollar items) to really benefit from the sales that much myself..

On a .10 listing day special, I can list 100 items at .10 for $10.00. As opposed to my regular listing fee of .95 per listing for a total of $9.50 for 10 items. If I sell one item at $9.95 it pays for the entire 100 listings. So yes, for me, listing specials (like this one are great! not the stupid 50% off listing upgrades.
A 59.99 items cost me 2.40 to listing even without the gallery. Yes, I'd say it's worth it.
Thanks
Rosemary
Thanks

Yeah, I can definitely see that. Most of my listings start at less than six or seven bucks so I forget the difference the sale can make.
Where's that Ebay special?

They gave us a generic special this last time. I'm thinking maybe another special (who knows what tho) right before school starts. We'll have to wait and see.
Well, the guilty bastards are throwing a listing sale our way. Here is is.

At this point I don't think I wish to give them any more of my money but that might change after a good nights sleep 
Get some sleep. They've slapped up in the face to wake us up now lets not let this one slip by. Once they let Half.com in on the searches, it will be way to crowded even for auctions to rise to the top.
I'm going to bed too.

Just great! I spent last night listing, after being off again for awhile. I guess I might try to get some more on and take advantage of the sale. I am still not sure what to do about my store plans, it has been slow going but I thought it was going to work out. Now those extra fees are forcing me to rethink it. Thanks for the info tho'.

I agree Magie with your name for the CEOs at eBay.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Throwin us a dadgum bone is what they're doing.
You were at eBay Live, the store boards are stating that eBay was heavily touting stores during the convention..yet, they must've known this was coming.
Slimeballs!
There will be a mass exodus, which I feel is a calculated move...exactly what eBay has wanted for stores.
My thoughts on this issue is the intentional store "tweaking" which has had sales plummetting has been done intentionally...and as stated on the boards, if it can be proved..that could be class action suit time.
