Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking?  Are you saying that there are auctions in a store?

[ymeagainlord]

Of course there are auction freebies for stores. (but only in select categories as they put it)

It CAN be used. After you use your 50 allotment, then list all you want up to the amount of the promo.

As long as you don't mind not having any free listings left for the rest of the month you mean.

#2 means this promo is only good for the INITIAL listing of a GTC, not for subsequent renewals.

#5 means the promo will be good for any GTC renewal which occurs during the promo window.

Basically saying the same thing

They are not the same thing, they are contradicting each other.

#2 says only good for initial GTC listing, no renewals.

#5 says good for GTC renewals.

No, they are both saying the same thing. The free listing promo will include ANY GTC which you start during the promo (first insertion ONLY) and/or ANY GTC which RENEWS during the promo window (also ONLY good for that ONE insertion)

Your wording is much clearer than eBay's. 🙂

Just received this message from eBay. Looks like it is a glitch and the customer service reps that were telling everyone that "extra" meant after you use you monthly 50, were wrong. Typical!

I tried to explain that to CS.  I still don't understand what they are saying.  Did they fix it, or are we supposed to list 50 items after they are all gone and HOPE we get a credit?  I try listing one tonight and see what happens.

[violetspider]

I think that they might be leaving the programming error, since so many have already starting listing. Fixing it might be much harder then just giving us the credit after the fact. By my math we will now get as many as 200 free listings for the month, if we utilize everything. I won't, but I'm a small time seller!

[ymeagainlord]

Now the question is - a. do we trust eBay to issue the credit as promised and b. does this mean we have to PAY for the listing insertions and then wait for the credit? Because the credit may not necessarily come off the same invoice we're charged on, depending on what billing cycle you're on.

Save your breath they are only for the buyer I just quit listing to frustrating
