Congrats. Maybe next month they'll give you the extra 500 (that featured stores got)

taking you to 1000 (til October, at least)

Your title says 500 free listings, but your post suggests it is a listing limit increase. Are you aware there is a difference between the two?

If it is a limit increase to 500 that means you are allowed to list more items, but it doesn't necessarily mean those listings are free, you will still only get the same number of free ones per month.

If it is 500 free listings, then it's nice to receive them, but it won't do you much good if you are restricted to 80 sales a month, because regardless of how many freebies you have available, you won't be able to list any more than 80 in total.

Congratulations You've been doing a great job selling on eBay, and we've noticed. How would you like to list even more? Now you can.

Here's how much you can now list every month:

User ID:

Items: 80 500

I take it we can list 500 in our store with no insertion fees.

Not quite, that means you can now sell up to 500 items in total per month. That total includes active listings (and a multiple quantity listing uses one for each quantity available) AND sold listings. BUT it does not mean those 500 are all free. You get a free listing allocation with your store each month, an increased limit doesn't mean you get more free ones, it just means you can list more. When your monthly allocation of free listings runs out, you will be charged for any listings after that. So if you have a Basic store, you get 200 free listings, and even though you are allowed to list up to 500, only 200 of those will be free.

Thread title should have been 'Yay...500 extra listings for me'

People are going to think there's 500 free listings on offer

400 (basic) and 1000 (featured) for the next 6 months.

Not one of those worked on either mine or my mate's accounts, just the 40 last month and the 40 at the start of this month.

2664 has never worked in the entire time I've tried it (or maybe it only works once per person and I have already used it last year or whenever without noticing), and 3280 was invitation-only and didn't work either. April was a dry period for me, probably the second worst to December last year.

Are we sure Paco has a store? 80 listings would hardly be worth a store they may only have the 40 freebies a month........
