This sucks!!! I can't do a weekend sale because I did one last week? Idiots!!!

[pot0hr]

only ebay would punish a seller that wants to do a sale every weekend... who thinks this is a smart idea?  what genius decided a seller can't run a sale except for once every two weeks?  way to go ebay, now I have to **bleep** customers off on Monday morning by manually raising my prices back up to where they were on friday.   This defeats the purpose of even having a sale at all.

Stuff like this is why I wont buy a store from ebay--- Its 4th of July weekend what are they thinking?

Is Ebay run by non-Americans now who dont celebrate the 4th?

Use promotions for whenever you can't run sales. 

When markdown manager changed and these dumb limitations went into effect, I made $70 the day after MDM changed. I was making anywhere from $200-500 daily whenever I'd run sales.

I raised my promotional ad fees to 10% (since I ran 10% sales often on markdown manager) and my sales skyrocketed. 

I know no one wants to pay a 10% promotional fee, but, I already frequently ran 10% off sales so don't really see a difference. Even after markdown manager became useless, I sold many things that have been in my store for a LOOOOONG time via promotions instead of markdown manager, so, it's not entirely hopeless.
