Very strange deal!!! Got an eBay message this morning inviting me to join a free 500 listing promo. Great if needed, but why offer me a promo when my store subscription still has 8,848 "free" fixed price listings and 950 "free" auction listings left to use. There is zero chance of me as an individual seller even coming close to using up my store listings and needing 500 additional.
There are many sellers right now that could take advantage of this sort of offer and realistically use 500 extra listings. Many sellers seem to be struggling badly and it seems this could help. It would also pad the "new listings" numbers for eBay and could easily lead to increased sales and FVF's.
Why give it to a seller that has no use or need for it??? Not a complaint, just trying to make sense of it. The only possible advantage to this offer for me would be to cancel my 25 auctions and use "sell similar" to relist them with a BIN price or do additional auctions with "free" BIN.
