Help needed with listing, please

[sunshinesketches]

I'm trying to list a non-art item, using my own HTML template, so I did a "sell as" and changed the category. It's in the "dolls" category if that makes a difference. I added one photo, which should be free. Then, because I haven't listed anything this month, it's supposed to give me a free listing, according to their message on the listing fees. Or at least, because the item starting price is an auction listing (not BIN), at the most it should be 35 cents. But when I get to the bottom of the page, it shows that I'm being charged 75 cents for some sort of picture package. I don't see anywhere to opt out of any picture package that I neither want nor need. I have to list several of these items so I don't want to incur a whole bunch of services that I don't need. I'm already not making money on these things. Can anyone direct me on how to opt out of this picture package? Thanks!

I imagine that a lot of people just give up and pay the fee. I'm too stingy to pay for anything I don't have to.

My favourite line is, "100% Positive will be left upon receipt of your payment." My favorite line I've ever seen in a listing is 'I smoke with my cats'. -- 'It's lovely' - mick upon seeing golders' art

This all looks like a plot to me. $21,000,000.00 for some top secret item, changing the ebay id as code to let the buyer know which item to buy. That bunny might be bin lauden in disguise. I'll probably be on a list now for using those words. Anyway looks like we need a 007 ebay secret agent to go undercover and expose the plot. All great ideas for a whole line of products. oops probably can't use the e bay name though. Have to call it bee bay, bet you can't sell but one, no secrets sold here, the play on words is endless, too bad I can't think of anymore right now but I'm sure some of you will.

Another use for a cat. We talk about hockey. But where is the beerman's avatar? How about just the image of his feet on the coffee table thru which you can see the hockey game on tv? -- 'It's lovely' - mick upon seeing golders' art

I have no idea why he was babbling about hockey there. He barely watches hockey. He and his cat discuss Baseball (note the capitalization of the word). I just tune them both out (I'm allergic to team sports).

I have no idea why he was babbling about hockey there. It's a side effect of too much beer. -- Kathy

Just got this email: Starting March 30, 2010 selling on eBay will be a better deal than ever! * List Auction-style FREE--no Insertion Fees--when you start your Auction-style listing under $1. * Get new, lower Insertion Fees for all other start prices. * Either way, pay one easy Final Value Fee of 9% of the winning bid (but never more than $50)-and pay only if your item sells. * List in Fixed Price for 50¢, with Final Value Fees for the most part staying the same. This new standard fee structure will replace the current "first 5 listings free"--you'll pay no Insertion Fees whenever you list Auction-style and start pricing under $1!* Get complete details on the new eBay fees and get ready to SELL! Sincerely, eBay Seller Team http://rover.ebay.com/rover/4/0/8?eecl=1&eesi=US&i=175a66564e4II1bdb23II976f39II175ac4eadd2&eepc= Don't know if you list at 99 cents how listing fees will take into account the photo packages... AND ... weren't FVFs 8% before? -- ~Jillian artist, Jillian Crider ... google me!

I asked him why baseball and he said he was quoting the lyrics of some song. Or should I say, some song that doesn't exist in my universe.

I asked him why baseball and he said he was quoting the lyrics of some song. It's baseball zen. The All-American game. It's what they ask spies about to find out if the are foreign or USA born. You would think your husband would know you're foreign by now. Have him read Casey At The Bat to you. Especially after a couple of beers. Baseball is 90% mental -- the other half is physical.

Some of the best movies ever are about baseball. Field of Dreams The Rookie The Sandlot Bull Durham It Happens Every Spring -- 'It's lovely' - mick upon seeing golders' art

You would think your husband would know you're foreign by now. Oh, he knows. He calls me his "mail-order bride." He also knows because I correct his French pronunciation in restaurants. Then the server draws a vacant stare, because apparently au gratin is pronounced oh-grottin around here.

[golders]

You should hear pommes frites pronounced in the only French restaurant nearby. Oh the humanity! Wait, that was the Hindenburg. -- 'It's lovely' - mick upon seeing golders' art
