RE: Buy it Now Reinsertion FEE before the listings End-auto fee

-I just got charged $4.20 - I just received a courtesy notice from eBay this morning. Funds will be debited $4.20, for 12 Items that ended last night (@ .35 cents each). CAUTION: you will be charged!...I have extremely been diligent, at the end of every month- for a year or two-about this issue-to not get charged-I watch my listings, like a HAWK... and end them, before midnight...I caught all of them last night-this Relist fee is suspicious...oh well, they got me. finally, last night-on the 31st, ending of the month-boo. >BEWARE

@classicartcreations,

Why do you think you were charged for listings that relisted/renewed on Jan 31? I don't see any active listings that renewed yesterday. The $0.35 is an insertion fee, and is charged when the listings are started/renewed (if you have used all your 250 free-insertion-fee listings for the month), not when they end.

I see 11 active listings that were started last night, Jan 31, but they were new listings, not ones that relisted. I checked one, and it said that it was painted on Dec. 25, 2021, so it probably had not been listed before. You probably went over your 250 free-insertion-fee limit with those, and were charged for them. Perhaps there is another one that has not indexed yet, or perhaps you reached the limit the day before.

It doesn't appear your current sales would pay for a store based on the FVF savings, but a Basic Store is $21.95 a month. You get 1,000 Fixed Price listings every month along with a slightly lower FVF.

In past months, I've saved enough on just a few sales to pay the $21.95 (along with my TRS discount).

You also get a $25 discount code once a quarter to use in eBay's shipping supplies store. That alone already pays one month out of 3.

For me...it is worth the investment to have the Basic Store.

Might be something to look at.

I really like some of those abstract paintings you have posted.
