Yes!  The free listings are a great bonus 🙂

They encourage sellers like me to sell a lot more, and therefore eBay benefit from the Final Value Fees.

$1.50 per insertion is over the top.   What eBay doesn't take into consideration, is that there are  a variety of sellers .... not everyone has a store,not everyone sells brand new items,   ....  and there are a lot of small non-store sellers.

eBay need to cater for everyone .... and while they're not doing this, people (like a lot of the previous writers) are going away from them.

I sell second hand quality brand clothing .... but it costs to purchase it, and I give free postage.   So after the 40 free listings, I have to pay another $1.50 per listing  😞

When I talk to eBay, I get a reply read from a screen .... no personal touch at all !!

I honestly don't know what the answer is .... meantime I will just sell my 40 per month until a free listing promotion comes along again,..... ..   if ever.   (By the way, if you ring eBay, they deny that there are no free listings at present   .... try it sometime!).  

Thanks for listening .........
