prehaps they are meaning that the promotion does not appy to insertion fees as in will not be charged $1 insertion fees? As it doesnt actually state standard insertion fees still apply? But it worries me that even though when listing says $0.00 they might jib me at some point in the future!
If they don't charge you at the time you list them they can't charge you later and it's unlikely they'd try to. Legally, you can't sell something to someone for $X and then ask for extra money later, so ebay can't have $0 listing fees showing when you list and then ask you for money later.
It's unfortunate that people have contacted ebay because people might have got unlimited listings for a few days before they woke up. Note that I said 'might have'. It seems they've really messed up on this one but I'd suggest go for it while it still works! In the past they've always honoured it when people have listed for free because of a malfunction. I remember when ordinary sellers only got 30 freebies a month but once the counter stuck and it was possible to use a lot more than 30.
