How absolutely abhorrent it is that eBay freely gives 5000 listings to a novice seller.

Hi Sellers,

Do you consider it completely unfair and unjust that we pay eBay so much money to keep our stores and they just offer (willynilly) sellers who have barely any feedback 5000 free listings before Christmas. I mean, how abhorrent are ebay's business ethics are after we pay them so much money in sellers fees and yet an ebay member (who has purchased only 4 items) is treated with more dignity than us? I just do not understand 

This is another example of the dogmatic approach eBay has towards its loyal sellers.

I will type more slowly

she will not be able to use the full 5000 listings.

if she can it is a glitch.

if eBay find out they will probably remove the listings.

she can p[articipate in the promotion, but only up to her selling limit.

she will also then forfeit the 40 free listings that come with the account.

if her limits are 50 and whatever the dollar amount of the sales are, this is what she is limited to regardless of what the promotion offers.

It is a one size fits all who are invited, tempered by the exclusion clause of limitations.
