Sure you get 30 free listings, but I feel that there needs to be unlimited 0.99 cent listings at least. This will help sellers to sell without losing money, and buyers to buy at low prices more often. Otherwise the costs keep rising up and up, and you spend more then half of total profits on listings that gulps and absorbs your selling achievements.
By only allowing unlimited 0.99 cents listings Ebay still gains the profits off other listings, and yet will allow for those who don't have a lot of money wider access to listings. It will also stop small time sellers from losing so much money on listings alone.
I think this will greatly increase fairness and equality to the Ebay selling trade.

Why bother with 99 cent listings ? You risk losing money if you only receive one bid. They are promoted by ebay but not usually by anyone else.

If it sells on a 30 free listing at 99 cents, according to my calculations, if they pay by PayPal - you'll make 51 cents 😄
If they pay by PayPal, 30 cents is gone already, and the other eBay and PayPal fees equal to 19 cents 🙂
