eBay

Geeezzz, it has only just occurred to me that with a Basic Store and even allowing for the fact I'm unable to get the 3 Free Auto Re-lists, I would be better off without a store at all given the number of Free Listings non-stores are being given.

Basic Store 200 Free Listings per month - nothing more.

Non-Store by my recollection this month have had initial 40 PLUS promotions for 100 & 150 = Total 290, no Store Fees and what 1% ?higher FVFees.

Time to shut the store me thinks . . . . . . . . .

I have a basic store, but I worked it out if you put your items on for 30days , you will get 3 free relistings, rather than GTC
I could go up to 600 or more if I had the stock, which I haven't. I am over my 200, with 196 left , and 1 day to go, til next month.
I found out by mistake, as I was starting to get confused, with getting near 200, when they relisted by themselves, i was going to loose track of how many I had, and could cop some listing fees.
once the old stock got near the relisting day, I ended the item, and did them for 30days. so far working out good.
I'm trying it until Christmas.
I have another ID for the 40 a month, plus any freebies we may get. But it wasnt enough for my craft items.

Thank you. Sounds like it's working well for you. Unfortunately on this ID I cannot get the 3 free re-listings, so that restricts my number of listings. When stores were getting lots of free listings, I think I got up to about 983 or was it 1078 ? (doesn't matter anyway) listings, could have had more if I had the time to list everything & believe me I tried.

On the new ID I get the 3 free auto relistings so am utilising that as best I can but while I'm still on listing restrictions it's a bit of a juggling game and I get frustrated having to waste time checking the relisted quantities as it seems to re-list original quantity instead of closing or remaining stock

Have had number of items permitted to list lifted once, but they are so far refusing to raise any further.

They're a killer aint they?

Told it was 50 fb or 45 days before you got the full listings
But they're still resisting. No matter how much you argue.

Yes, absolutely ! I don't remember it being this friggin hard when I started selling - although that was about 3 years ago and I did start very small and slowly as I had no idea what I was doing being relatively new to eBay

Pretty sure you're correct about the 50FB, but I'm sure it wasn't OR 45 days it was some ridiculous sales value - like thousands ! What a joke with what I sell !! I may have received a message/alert around the 45 day mark though saying I could apply to have the restriction lifted, because I did respond to a message along those lines & got an immediate response You do not qualify or words to that effect & I thought, well why the hell did you flamin well send the message/alert !! I did ask before I started the new ID if they would take my history on this ID into consideration and I got a flat NO even after the CS consultant spoke to a supervisor !!

Maybe I should do as someone suggested and run some auctions on the new ID just to try & get F/B up
