I am more worried that ebay will shut down my store because I didnt go about it the right way.

the conditions etc say....

• This promotion is eligible only to members validly registered on eBay.com.au who have received the email invitation to participate. This invitation is not transferable or exchangeable.
• You must register for the offer, accept the terms and conditions and receive confirmation from eBay that "you have accepted the offer" to be eligible for this promotion (excludes store subscribers)

and then it says...

Persons who violate the terms of this promotion on eBay.com.au may not be eligible for future promotions/pricing trials on eBay.com.au.

Ebay it seems, is determined to cull sellers at the moment, and I am petrified to do anything that might get me in trouble.

Unfortunately, I still have 200 of my usual free listings left, and if I go to list anything it will come off the promo lot first ,and I could be in trouble. Might just have to wait till after the 14 th to start listing again... or ring ebay ..
