US eBayers also get to relist just once for free, not 3 times, making their 50 listings look like about 15 compared to ours. Although, I believe they have 30-day BINs whereas we max out at 10 days.

The UK gets all of 20 free listings per month!

The free listing promo didn't happen last month, only the invitation-only one was offered (promo 2664, which didn't work for me).

That's probably because they had 3 in November. Those 3 were for 200 listings each, not the usual 100. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if they don't have one this month either...........or they just stop them altogether.

There were rumours that the free relists here were going to be reduced to one, so we should all be grateful that we only get 40 freebies that have 3 free relists. I'd rather that than 50 with only 1 relist!

Every time they make a change here, they say it's to bring us in line with the rest of the world. Why then does the UK only get 20 freebies? That seems ridiculously unfair! I wonder if they get more promotions than other countries to supplement it?

Not everyone gets the 3 free relists either.
It depends on your sales, selling percentage, sales prices etc as to when they cut them off.
I havnt had them for a while, but usually if i dont list on my accounts for a couple of months (not that it happens anymore) my percentage drops and the auto relist option comes back.

Yeah, with November it was a matter of too many too soon, I didn't have hundreds of popular things to move quickly!

Who says we'd get 50 with 1 relist. I'm sure eBay would make sure Australians were still limited to 40 per month and the rest being $1.50 insertion fees! Because Australia Tax; bytes cost so much more to ship to here from the rest of the world. 🙂

By the way, basic insertion fees:

Australia: $1.50 (1.04 USD) (40 free listings)
UK: 35p (0.73 AUD) (20 free listings)
US: 30c (0.43 AUD) (50 free listings)
Ireland: All over the place (free listings seemingly only apply to items priced under €1.50, and auctions only, **not BIN**; max 100 free listings)

As nice as those November freebies were, many sellers now have heaps of items in their unsold area, myself included. I might have to look into Turbolister as I believe you can store your unsolds in there indefinitely. .
