No idea why the 14th May came up on my question about the 200 listings. I also run a couple of  businesses and also have a life and would use the listings up if I had more time. Why do old unsold items which are not on my current list of items for sale not be relisted as they have relisted next to them on my unsold list. Deleting them and starting from scratch just takes too much time.

4 actually.

 

19-22 = 4 days.

 

OP - something about gift horses, and maybe make your title relevant, as the FREE listings are 19-22 NOVEMBER. 14 MAY was over 6 months ago.

 

Unless, of course, it is a serial complaint. In which case carry on carrying on.

It is an oddly short amount of time for that many items and sometimes they give us a longer period like a week, but that's rare.

 

But still, we can't complain they never give us anything for free.

4 days to do 200 listings is do-able,  really   - get your head down!        

 

It's the 10,000 that the mind boggles over - probably only get 200 or so done anyway

I think 200 is doable when you have the time. Sadly, I am at work this afternoon, most of tomorrow and all of Sunday (and possibly all night Sunday........same as the same promotion 2 weeks ago. Isn't it always the way? So far I've managed 11, plus relisting a few unsolds. I've cancelled all my auto relists for the weekend so I can at least use it for that.

 

I'm hoping that if I don't get home too late on any of the days I can do some listings in the middle of the night and schedule them to start while I'm at work. I don't think I've got any more weekends between now and Christmas, so I can guarantee there will be no more promotions!!!

Understandable.

 

3 mouse clicks per item can add up to an impressive number of seconds.

 

Or simply pay for your listings and don't take advantage of the freebies.

 

You choose.
