Tried the 40 until 1659hrs today by listing two items has come off that 40 and the rest are still intact.

I have 3 lots of 40 (I lost the 100 last month without warning). 2 run from midnight 1/9/17 to midnight 1/10/17, the other runs from midnight 1/9/17 to 4.59pm 1/9/17. Not sure what the one until 5pm today is?

Is it possible that feebay has finally realised that letting people list more for free means more sales and more fees for them ???

 

I know I would list a lot more if it was free to list.

 

Its Friday though so its likely just a glitch

It's possible, but if that was their reason, why did some of us lose the 100 last month mid way through the week? It would have made more sense to leave it there for everyone who had it. 

 

I listed 2 items this morning and it came off the 17 hour 40 freebies. Unfortunately I have to go to work in a bit, so I'll lose them. Oh well, can't have it all!

Well I've got 5% off for the next 4 months and 10% off voucher so would everyone else.

So while sellers are getting free listings us buyers are getting discounts so a win win for all lol.

Except eBay of course Woman Tongue

No win-win here, just relist-relist. I have sold exactly one $2.50 item since the 17th of August.

I have the 100 for the 1/9 -2/9,then 2 40's for a month then just got 100 starting 1/9 - 1/10, just used a couple and they came off the one I just got tonight.No complaints here very happy.

I didn't get the 100 a day back. I've got 2 lots of 40 showing. I just listed an item and one came off each 40. Seems a bit pointless having both there if I'm still only going to get 40. First they take the 100 off me, then imply I'm going to get 80 freebies this month. Talk about rubbing my nose in it!

I now have the 100 a day,2 lots of 40s which when listing comes off both and the 100 for a month has disappeared.

I'm skeptical to say the least. While I had no trouble listing before 5PM yesterday, an auction+BIN listing which automatically relisted during that time swiped a listing from the standard monthly 40. The odd thing is, 20-odd other items (all BIN only) also relisted around the same time. I hope I didn't just screw myself over by listing a bunch of items while watching others automatically relist and take the remaining 39 listings and leave me stuffed for a month. The "promotion" might be gone, but if these items suddenly start automatically taking listings off me a month down the track I will have no choice but to file a complaint.
