This drastically changes the economics at selling on ebay for those of us with slow turnover stock.

It's been 15 years since we started agitating for this common sense move.
I guess they figured out they make more sales with more listings.  Finally.

I've had the 50K since COVID started, but haven't used anything but the auction bump (to my profit) because I didn't want to do the work only to take them all down after it was over.

But now there is nothing holding me back.

This is great.  I have been placing books in categories such as collectibles to take advantage of more free listings.  Now I do not need to worry.

My one concern is will this cause a massive onslaught of listings that are identical to mine?

We will see.
