I know!! I don't think they realise that they are a 'gift' from eBay, not something they should expect or demand. It surprises me how many people will actually contact eBay and DEMAND free listings! If I was eBay, I'd block those people from being able to use the promotion when they do come up, purely to teach them a lesson in manners.

I think some sellers also miss the keyword.......PROMOTION. In my opinion, promotion doesn't mean "you should be giving it to us every week or every second week". I have been known to be wrong though.

I certainly don't knock the freebies when they are offered, but I certainly don't rely on them. If I use my 40 freebies up and there are no promotions, I just wait until the next month to list or relist. It's not hard to spread the listings over a whole month, instead of using them all in the first couple of days. To me that's just common sense.

I have about 30 items in my unsold box, but have new items I want to list, so the 30 shall remain in my unsold box until next month or a promotion comes up. One way or another, they'll get relisted eventually.
