Somebody explain the zero insertion thing that starts today to me PLEASE! Ebay can’t

I’m lost as usual with eBay.   See zero change in my listing number still at 1k monthly.  I thought the release from eBay weeks ago, whenever that was, stated permanent zero fee insertion for buy it now(that’s all I do) unlimited forever.  It said all store subscribers levels.  After three months of how selling should be on eBay, zero restrictions on any selling items number, things return to the old eBay days again.  How eBay revenues are up is because of fees, not sales from sellers, I’m not selling squat now.    I’m just completely lost and extremely confused at why things are so complex with eBay.  Just make it free, no item limits for anyone, and charge a fee for selling your item.  That’s how simple eBay can be.  Every day it’s a new fee or rule or hoop to jump, the people at the top are clueless about the real world.

If you will go to Announcements and carefully read the announcement, all your questions will be answered.

thank you.  But lost means, let’s say your lost in the woods in real life, you walk and walk and can’t find your way out or back from where your at, after looking for the way out many times.  So I’m still Lost with eBay, I have read the Announcement ten times, and today I don’t see unlimited zero fee insertion on my seller hub, so that really really really p’s me off.  

but thanks and have a great day

So they did nothing then, nothing happened, my limits are exactly as before.  So eBay did absolutely NOTHING

I never saw anything mentioned about unlimited free listings.  I have a non-store ID and the freebies were increased from 50 to 200 monthly.

 

Additional freebies are also offered for store owners depending on the level they pay for.  Also a big additional amount is offered in certain categories if you are in, or have applied for, managed payments.

You have a Premium store with 1000 fixed listings?
if that is the case then unless you have signed up for MP then you get nothing extra in Fixed price
Those signed up or already in MP get with the Premium store  50K extra in SELECT categories and stay at 1000 fixed in All categories 
May also need to check to see if Motors will be part of those extra freebies if & when you sign up for MP .

I am signed up for MP and see my extra listings in my Seller Hub Promotion section today

There is absolutely nothing "free" in the real world. If you are not in MP, your listing numbers will show the same as usual for your store level.  The across the board free listing increase for MP participants has actually devalued the store listings you are paying for and lessened your ability to sell your items at profitable prices.

Mine says 200 free but also below it says 50 free as well.

 

See if yours says the same under selling.

50,000 is unlimited to me, probably only have 15-30k items to list, so I’ll never hit that no matter what.  Unless I buy more stuff to sell, then I might hit 50k once or twice a year.

 

ebay requires too much brain power constantly, so I think I’ll go to the beach for a couple weeks and forget it till I’m surfed out...

 

Ebay go back to what you started out as, something that worked, not a insanely huge mess of problems constantly

No MP for me till I’m forced in that mess.  I don’t know I have a starter store but get 1k free listing since I opened a store in March, that’s never changed since day one, and my $193k, so I don’t know what’s going on....

 

I know this, eBay is a mess

If you have a starter store you should receive 250 listings per month. If you were getting 1000 before perhaps you were receiving a promotion?   What does it say in your sellers hub in promotional offers?

 

I agree that ebay can be confusing in some ways but I've never thought of the amount of free listings as being confusing. Unless there is a promotion, they are the same month after month but your sellers hub should reflect exactly how many you have.

I just looked and mine only shows 200, but my store ID has the additional 100 added to the old 250 to show 350 now---plus the old 250 is there too.  Sounds like they are a bit messed up in the transition.

I know what I’m supposed to get but all these things are not adding up, just more horrible business practices from eBay.  I can not be the only one selling on eBay wondering what the hell is going on, why these things are so vague, and misleading and nobody’s stuff is right and etc...

 

The facts are plain and simple with eBay, it’s just a bunch of people sitting in big office chairs messing around with people lives, and dont care one single bit.

Even the people in MP got screwed, the extra 50K is only for certain categories, never saw anything for unlimited listings in announcements, I'm back to 1000 listings, sad because I've already made what I did all last year by June 1st. I was hoping after they saw a HUGE increase in profits they'd dropped the listing fees.

 oh well back to 4% growth lol
