100 000 FREE LISTINGS 17th -23rd March

pickapresent13 — Sun, 16 Mar 2014 23:23:38 GMT

Thank You Ebay for the 100 000 FREE LISITINGS you`ve given me, I`ve accepted the offer.

Now, by my "rough" calculations in my head, I will be a busy busy man as you can see below :-

100 000 / 7 days = 14 000 per day

14 000 / 24 hours = 600 per hour (approx)

600 / 60 mins = 10

So, if I can list 10 items per minute 24 hours a day for the next 7 days I will use up all my listings 🙂

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I've been waiting for this offer. Of course, won't make the 100,000 but my daughters had a garage sale on the weekend and I got all the Unsolds (absolutely beautiful) so the timing was fantastic. Well, can't stay chatting - got to go listing !!!!. (HAVE JUST RELISTED THE 100 UNSOLDS I HAD OF MY OWN)

Now the only issue is whether buyers can find your items since all these eBay site issues ...

Just avoid listing any as 'good til cancelled'.

Why?

All my store listings are GTC. When these freebies come around, I end everything due to roll over on the day and relist GTC. And usually put next month's up early. GTC.

I don't expect that any seller with less than an anchor store would contemplate listing 100,000 items in a week. And anchor stores are free listing, anyway, so this means nothing to them.

I would hope any other store holders would understand the ramifications of high numbers of GTC listings, especially when the terms of the offer explicitly state what they are.

"I would hope any other store holders would understand the ramifications of high numbers of GTC listings, especially when the terms of the offer explicitly state what they are."

You and I understand the ramifications but free GTC listings could on the face of things imply free rollover to some.

An internet dysfunction during a crucial period could cost some dearly.

The free GTC listing should not have been made available during the promo, only a 30 day listing as max

unless of course I am failing to see the advantage of a GTC listing that is only free for 30 days.
