Back to Basics - 20 ¢ Core Insertion Fee Sale – Two Days Only!***

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.
Later,

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.

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

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?

well, the home page featured thing was a total waste of time for me. But I kinda expected that.

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.
