How many free listings with Managed Payments

[merfar2107]

Are the 250,000 just a one off? Or every month? TIA for your help to those who've been on MP for a while. 

I know this was discussed on an earlier thread, but am interested to know how it panned out.

Read our full terms for fees when listing an item

• All sellers with an Australian registration address are entitled to 250,000 free insertion fees per month for items listed in auction-style or fixed price format in most categories, including relisted items and listings that are ended early.

If appears that the 250,000 is for everybody on management payments, not just stores.

It's 250,000 per month. I have a featured store (previously 1500 listings per month) and I have 7940 listings currently. I am not paying any insertion fees since managed payments began. The 'remaining listings' ticker is still there on my page but it stays at 1500 and doesn't move. I did contact ebay and tell them they should remove that as it's confusing and they said they'd pass that along to the chimp who codes the site.

It's been good for me as I've been able to merge my multiple featured stores into one account, saving on store fees overall.

Wow, that's just insane overkill.  Having the possibility to sell a million things in one quarter with no listing fees.  eBay must be desperate to retain people once switching over to MP.  Maybe they are targetting the Chinese sellers with their huge selling numbers.

So I've just signed up. What happens now?

eBay stopped making any real money from listing fees a long time ago - the high cost of insertion fees (or so I assume) was actually a deterrent as well as a way to incentivise people to sign up for stores, more than a money-making attempt.

Now that (almost?) everyone will get 250k free listings a month, there is no listing quantity-based incentive to sub to a particular store level, and upgrading to featured or anchored will be purely about sales volume, only giving lower fees to those that make more money.

You will be advised a fortnight before your activation date, then again 2 days before.

Thanks. Dave, but it seems that I'm already off and running. Only had 4 free relists left and I've been listing and that hasn't changed! I didn't expect it to be so quick. 

I very tentatively tried a couple but it seems like it's working ok.

Hey, is there a quick way to put listings into one store?
