The 100 are there this morning for 2 days. I only use a few, but had finished my 40.

For what it's worth, this is an email I just received. make of it what you will.

Thank you for contacting eBay in regard to the 100 free listings promotion.

We just received an update from the Marketing Promotions Team that the 100 free listings per day have been paused. There is no timeframe provided yet as to when they can resume or offer back this promotion. Members should be notified once it is already available.

I'm getting it again on another ID, at least for today. They're obviously fiddling. BTW, did they make an announcement about listings going up to $1.65? Or is it just a surprise too?

The increase would be the GST on the original listing fee....the Netflix Tax.

Received a "one time courtesy credit" 😀

Maybe I should hit them up for a courtesy credit. I listed 3 items before I realised I was being charged.

I'm not holding my breath about getting the 100 reinstated. I didn't get an email. I would have been happy for it to last one more day due to most of my listings ending the next day! It was fun while it lasted and really did boost sales a lot. I just hope those that missed out on it 4 weeks ago get a go at it is time.

My 100 free listings are still there this morning. Last night I received an email from eBay offering me 75% off final value fees till the end of the month. I clicked on Take Up Offer and signed on to eBay, only to receive the message Unfortunately this promotional offer is not for you. Is eBay going through a midlife crisis?

I just relisted an item without checking the Promotional Offers thinking I had the 100 per day offer.  The item relisted with zero fees and as an after thought I checked my Promotional Offers and the 100 per day wasn't there.  I refreshed the page and the 100 per day appeared with 1 used and 99 to go.

It might be useful for others to try relisting or listing one item to see if works for them.

Surprise, surprise ..... mine are back on my home page after disappearing for a few days !!

The original message told me I had them every day for the month of August and I was amazed when they disappeared.

No go for me. They want $1.65 per listing, including the 3 totally free listings they gave me. That one is gone now too. One more day and I'd have been able to relist everything that was ending. Instead, i now how to wait until next month with between 5 and 10 active listings!

[dotm2004]

I just went and nervously checked, but still there despite disappearing for days.

Did you try the link bluebudgies put up Tippy ?   It's a mystery to me .... I wish I could give you mine .... I'm not listing anything new at present as we're Nomads ... sold our house and waiting for next one to be finished.
