For Saturday and Sunday, 20th and 21st Sept 2008 Irish sellers can list auctions and Buy it Now listings for just 10 cents.
This promo is just days before the fee changes on the 25th, which will see multiple item Buy It Now listings available on the Irish site for as little as 2 cents for Anchor shops and 6 cents for featured shops. Perversely, given that eBay are about to encourage them, multiple item listings are excluded from the promotion.
Sellers will need to consider their strategy for using this promotion. Relisting items that have sold should retain the recent sales boost in search, but if sellers list multiple listings for the same product they’ll be disadvantaged in search just a few days after the promotion.
A similar cheap listing day for eBay UK was edited to include multiple item listings, to fit with eBay’s current best listing practices.

I listed on eBay Ireland’s 10c listing weekend on the Saturday and as I didn’t have enough time for all my listings, I tried to do the rest on Sunday evening around 7pm. Surprise, surprise:
eBay’s charges had reverted back to the regular charges although the 10c weekend was supposed to be for the entire weekend, wasn’t it?
Just to make sure, I tried a second listing in case that it was a glitch, but no, the second listing showed up with regular rates as well.
I didn’t bother listing on eBay but put the items up on eBid instead.
