Yes sales are very slow for me as well and I will probably cancel all my
items soon and look for another site to sell on going forward. Ebay has
no real sales strategy, they want to increase the price on their
seller's via Listing and Final Value fee...
I have found this to be the case and I have hundreds of items to list
but like you, only list the 50 free. If they choose not to offer me
these promotions then they will lose out on those absurd fee's they are
charging. I am very close to closing up ...
