NOT for store owners. Starting April 19, you'll be able to list your items Auction-style FREE, at any start price, up to 50 listings a month. Plus you can add the Buy It Now option to these listings FREE to grab buyers in a hurry. Set the price you want and sell it fast! This is not a limited-time special but a change in eBay Standard fees to help you list more for FREE all the time--even those high ticket items! Pay only if your item sells. -- ~Jillian artist, Jillian Crider ... google me!

HOWEVER ... eBay is about to announce a new fee structure. ALSO - FVF applies to postage, too. They are doing this to stop people overcharging for shipping. However, it really bites - We have to put up postage to cover this fees. If we charge free, then PayPal takes it as price of item, and we pay more fees there, too. For most it means we put up prices for buyers. Not a good idea. -- ~Jillian artist, Jillian Crider ... google me!

"As an eBay buyer you'll soon be shopping on eBay with a handy, familiar shopping cart. Add multiple items--Fixed Price and Auction-style--from multiple sellers and pay in one easy checkout. The new eBay Shopping Cart w...ill be the way to shop on eBay by the 2011 holiday season." -- ~Jillian artist, Jillian Crider ... google me!

I list through Ebay.com but I suppose this does not apply to people living in Canada...I like the layout of EBay.com vs Ebay.ca better - especially as far as selling... I hope Canada follows suit... -- Maigan! Check out my blog - www.maiganlynnart.blogspot.com
