There must be lots of store sellers out there that haven't listed their half a million dollars worth of stock that has

being sitting around clogging up their warehouse.

Not getting enough on the postage FVF's so they have to invent another way,

• Good ‘Til Cancelled listings created before the Promotion Period which automatically re-list during the Promotion Period will not be eligible.

So they have to end their listings and then re-list them,(that should keep them busy for a few/many hours,days.

Wow thanks ebay ! I got so excited when I saw 5,000 free listings, but that was very short lived when I saw it is for over $100. What good is that?!

Free listings for items over $100, but then eBay will recommend you change the price to $3.00.

Maybe list, then have a store sale 95% off.    Hahahaha

I don't like to whinge (lol ) but FGS why can't stores get a few free auctions thrown their way - I do not want to run additional IDs just to access the free auctions.

I don't get it ?  Why does eBay not want to encourage stores to run auctions ?

Every non-store ID and their dog get a choice of FREE auctions every month without paying nuthin - yet I subscribe to a store and pay through the nose to run every single auction.

Why only for items over $100?

Agreed - if collectibles (which on eBay includes a variety of items not typically considered 'collectible') can form part of a store's freebies, as well as attract lower insertion fees for auctions if the freebies have been used, I don't get why other categories can't be included. If buyers weren't interested and it didn't work for the store / seller, they'd stop using auctions soon enough on their own.

Because eBay is going broke need sellers to sell higher priced items so they can receive more in fees lol.
