Thanks to the lovely Whirly for the heads-up.

Oh what a joyous day for techie sellers 😀
I’ll even forgive them for the typo that says “Only the basic eBay Insertion Fee will be 5 pence” when it should read “one pence” cos I’m so happy – and free gallery as well 😀
nice news for a change, i may even forgive them, unless they let the cats get spammed by the wrong items.
with best match i dont suppose it makes a lot of odds what catergories you list in now
My Whirly’s have electronic touch pads, some have radio’s with Dolby surround sound?? can I list a bath or 2 in technology ?
Hey Whirly can you sell replacement radios for Whirlpools seperately? 😉
WOW!!!!
I am a happy man, even if I will be locked indoors for the next 3 days reconfiguring things.
#4 not a bad idea….1p!!! FFS you jammy sods lol
I’ve only uploaded 101 today… so that’s ermmm let me see… £1.01 😀
I promsied Biddy I would never swear on here, but you know what I am thinking 🙂
Strange one this. No prior announcement, no mention on the General Annoucement Board.
If they are going to run promotions like this they should at least give us say a week’s notice. This thing is already live!
#9 It’s an odd one thats for sure.
I am new to selling on eBay and just listed 760 products in my shop with 500 of those being under the technology section. I tried to move 25 items from the shop to the fixed price section thinking I would be refunded the fees for listing them products to the store.
However I have been charged for both listing fees even though the 25 items are no longer in the eBay shop.
Any idea if I can reclaim all of my shop listing fees if I move all the items to the fixed price section?
No, Tahir, sorry, you won’t be able to reclaim the SIF fees, because the items *were* successfully listed in your shop.
Tahir – leave them in your shop, but if you have duplicates add new listings as BINs 🙂
Thanks for the response. Well I decided to list everything as BIN as well and so its not too bad as I have the listings in BIN for 3 to 7 days and the eBay store for 30 days. Really enjoying your site so far as I did not realise there is so much potential in selling through different places. Keep up the good work.
