Yep ... I agree 🙂 A million seems a bit far out ....

Non-store sellers like myself are screaming out for some free listings ....

Why can't they make it an across the board for ALL SELLERS and perhaps give out 200, that would suit me and a lot of others ?

I would be struggling to get 200 on .....

I don't think ebay likes us little guys, we ask tooo many pesky questions (conspiracy theory is alive and well). I think I might just go on holidays soon.....yawn....no use waiting around here.

Why don't you open a store if the free buy-it-now listings are so important to your selling?

i was a non store seller and kept seeing these types of promotions... so i ended up biting the bullet and spent the $19.95 for a store

sure i get no free auctions and had to change everything to BIN but now i dont have to sit on stock because i run out of free listings

if you REALLY want to keep your auctions, do what i did and open a second account (non-store) just for auctions

I have discussed this with eBay .... I would be more than happy to pay the $19.95, but as my stock is good second hand and variable, I would have to increase my prices to get a decent return..

I am more than happy to continue as I am, and in fact, posted the 1 MILLION offer on the discussion page earlier this morning ... to give the store sellers a lift.

I would just like eBay to be a bit more 'across the board' .... for example, the first half of this year, they were giving out 150 each month to non store sellers ... (and I expect during that time, the poor old store sellers were missing out) I think things changed when they offered the free re-listings. I get the feeling eBay would be happier if everyone had a store.

Meantime, I hope the store sellers out there get a really good return from this offer, and get a heap listed (don't think anyone will have the time to list 166,666 items per day over 6 days. though?.)

Yes, I would like that too. I pay for the $49.95 for featured store for 500 free buty-it-nows. I also don't get free relists as I am registered as a business seller. I never use anywhere near the listings at the moment, but the reduced final value fees for featured store generally covers the cost of the store.

BUT I would like to use more auctions as loss leaders or for the more popular items I sell BUT it costs me $1.50 a pop.

SO as a store seller eBay can throw 1 billion buy-it-nows at me but they are no good to me, I would settle for 10 - 20 free auctions now and again - which store sellers hardly ever get.

I have non-store IDs, but they do not help one little bit in driving any business to my store ID.

Let's see!!

1: They need to bump up the items for sale as a stockholders meeting is coming up.

2: Not as many small sellers are leaving as they visioned so they are trying to give them an extra boot!

3: Sales have taken a dive so they need extra items out there.

There must be more reasons for them to slow sales,(as adding another million listings will make others near

invisible)

Does anybody agree with this ? And is there anyone out there who could cope with photographing, and listing 1 MILLION ITEMS OVER 6 DAYS ? Then after 10 days (if you're lucky and get a high return of sales) addressing and handling such a large volume of items? I see lots of mistakes .... Resolution Centre be prepared !!

Doesn't this just encourage sellers to list a heap their rubbishy items, .. and how can you be accurate when you're under such pressure?

I just don't know what eBay's is thinking .... and why can't they just do across the board promotions that help ALL sellers ... I would find ONE THOUSAND very daunting, but ONE MILLION ?? !!... maybe if they give the Store Sellers about 1000, ... I'd be more than happy with 200 ?

Happy days !!! 🙂

RELAX...... ITS JUST A MARKETING PLOY PEOPLE . Even though I,ve got thousands of things to list, to be quite honest I couldnt be bothered working day and night to save twenty cents on a listing fee. ( just to be hit with the rollover fee if it doesnt sell ) Now the free auction listings for non stores, thats a different matter. I have been known to use 400-500 of those at a time when offered. If I can save $1.50 per listing it makes it worthwhile putting in the effort to use them up.
