So . . . .the last entry on this thread was October 9th. How are your listings doing? Is anybody out there buying? I haven't listed anything for months but I'm ready to start listing again. Very curious as to whether it is worth the effort. Anyone care to comment? ~ Donna

I've sold a few here & a few there - but nothing like it used to be! I guess it is a sign of the times! One way to look at it - if I had not taken advantage of the free listings - I would not have sold much since I wouldn't have listed as many items if I had to pay the fees. You get 100 free listings for the month of Nov, Dec, and for part of January. To me it is worth the effort.

I've sold almost everything I've listed, but none of it has been art related. All flea market junk that I need to unload, and am only listing to take advantage of the promotion. -- Kathy

So true Kathy - I have sold some art - but on my other ID where I sell flea market stuff and handmade bracelets, I have sold probably half of what I've listed.

Thanks Kathy and Sue for the info. I guess I better get cracking on some listings if I want to take advantage. My husbands store, has barely made enough to pay the rent on it. Guess that's why I've been reluctant to list. I also have another id for flea market finds. Guess I'll test the waters. 🙂

Sales have picked up on my art earrings both here and on bEtsy. I hope that's a sign that buyers are gearing up for the holidays - sure would be nice! -- -Ann ". . . except for drawdog, who is my new best glitter-covered friend." ~ mreas

They're doing the free BIN again, starting tomorrow, from December 4-13. Sheesh, why not just make it permanent through the end of the year, along with the free auction style listings? http://pages.ebay.com/promo/ListFreeHoliday2010/ -- Kathy "You know you're putting a good thing out into the universe when you put on glitter." ~ Drew Barrymore

[artistjillian]

Yes, wish they would. I guess I'm out of date. need to un-peg. *sigh* -- ~Jillian artist, Jillian Crider ... google me!

I just got an email saying that the free auction listings start tomorrow, and last for the next two weeks. -- See my art in progress! http://sofianime.blogspot.com http://www.twitter.com/sofianime

[suejo0101]

Yes - I rec'd it also - but on my other ID. Nothing on this ID yet. Sue

[artistjillian]

Yes! Great news. Time to tack this thread again. *lol* -- ~Jillian artist, Jillian Crider ... google me!

With sales down, items being sold and for lesser prices, FREE listings is the way to go. If you have to pay for gambling that they will sell, for each item, it can get you in hot water real fast. I didn't get that announcement yet. Have to go back and check announcements on my eBay page. I've been NOT patiently waiting! Lynne

[lynneandjessica]

Yep, it's there! For non-store owners: 100 free listings, any start price, auction format only from Jan.25 to Feb.8 !!!!!! :) Lynne -- Edited by lynneandjessica at 01/25/2011 5:35 AM PST
