    Default selling on ebay, advice needed

    Apparently there's a free listing this weekend on ebay. I'm not around much to make use of it though, does anyone know if I write out listing and put a delayed start time on them for this weekend will that still count as a free listing or not?

    Cheers

    Ben

    As Bigmac said unless you are putting a lot on or selling something that has a high start price you will not save that much

    Normally it wouldn't matter but Misses had got loads of stuff she wants selling so will add up to quite a bit I reckon, listing 20+ items.

    Best bet is just to start with a 1p listing as that's the cheapest option, and usually get people bidding against each other too.

    Or no one bids until the last minute and get it for 99p had that happen a few times to me.

    Talking of which I won something on ebay for 99p so did another buyer and both the items were never delivered to us by the ebayer he just refuses to post them. Opened a dispute with ebay but why do they let sellers on there like that?

    I normally dump a load of stuff on when its zero listing fee saves you a few quid but also noticed you don't get as much for them as everyone floods ebay with the same idea!

    You make a good point, hadn't thought about it like that.

    Agreed, I just picked up a preface manual for 99p, risk you take, but it works the other way too. People love that feeling of being the top bidder, lol.

    Did you neg the sellers for not sending the items?

    Virtually every weekend is now a free listing weekend
    Great if you want to sell something of high value or need to clear out low value items (which otherwise attract higher fees making it a waste of time)
    However, as above many items are added during these promotions typically ending 7 days later

    Therefore I suggest you watch similar items to see what they go for

    For item I know will sell I tend to start my auctions on a Thursday evening for 10 days, that way they end on a Sunday evening
    I find this gets the best results as people can view them over two weekends

    For clearance items I start them at 99p (or whatever the minimum is to qualify for the free listing) and run them from Sunday evening for 7 days

    Finally for my high value items I place them on Buy It Now or Best Offer, which can run for several weeks
    Again, I start these on specific day so that the auction ends on a Sunday evening
