Haven't received any listing specials in over 6 months!

Why is this? I spoke to a ebay rep and they just said that they aren't apart of marketing and I will just have to wait.

 

Are you lads getting offers?

No offers at all also not getting any free relists anymore either.

Ebay must be going broke and need all the fees they can get.

i am thinking the same. I have 100's in my unsold now and soon they will just disappear. I kept adding more with free listings as i was getting them all the time and after 8 weeks ill just relist them again. Its taken me hours and hours and if no free listings soon ill just close up here. Im not going to do hours of listing again as hardly anything sells on here the best of times. Im sorry but who in their right mind would relist 300 items at $1.65 lol. Im lucky if 5% sells so it would cost you $100's for nothing. I dont understand why they just dont make it free to list they make enough on their other fees.

but if they need all the money they can get why not do free listings. There is NO WAY i would pay $1.65 for a $5 item that only has a 5% of selling. At least they tiny bit of sales we get they get two lots of other fees. A $5 item gets 2 fees that chews most of that anyway.

I had a free listings offer on my stores around 3 - 4 weeks ago. It even included auctions which is rare for stores, so some freebies still around.

I've been getting store freebies every month since May. They usually run from about the 27th until the 4th or 5th, so 2 bites of the cherry.

 

Maybe the lack of non-store freebies is intended to give people incentives to open a store. If I had hundreds of listings I wouldn't list at $1.65, I would seriously consider paying $27.45 per month to list 600, rather than spit the dummy wanting unlimited freebies. After all eBay is a business and unlimited freebies would mean they would lose a lot of store fees.
