I list one or two new items every day. I list for 30 days and select the 3 free auto-relists. That covers 800 of my 1100ish listings for $19.95.

 

@If I don't get freebies, I pay for, on average, 75 listings per month @ 5c each. So $23.70 all up. Works for me.

When we were getting freebies on a more regular basis, I used to try and do likewise, by using the 200 free with the store to list throughout the month and the bonus freebies to re-list and to add new listings, so I had around 700-900 listings most of the time.  I don't get the 3 free auto-relists, so that's where I come unstuck. Listings in my category are $0.50 each, so if I was to only list an additional 500, that would be $250 and it would not be worth it as I sell low value items.

I believe my best solution may be to ignore initial advice I was given by both the ATO & eBay  when I first started here  - open a 2nd ID & not register as a business, and then hope I am able to access the 3 Free auto-relists, they would be an enormous help.  Hubby has them on his account (which is a non-store account - so only 40 free listings per month) and we don't use that ID very often.  Maybe I should consider up-grading that ID to a basic store . . . . . .

Thanks dave, the way you have spelt it out gives me lots of food for thought
