I keep getting charged when re-listing an item ? I though it was free to relist as it didn't sell ?

[boxtops]

No, not at all, you have to pay up front for relisting - what happens is that if you relist something (but only for the first time of relisting) you'll see a message which says "you may be credited with your listing fee if it sells this time" (or something like that).

You'l get your money back if you sell it this time round (but not for a third relisting).

btw it's free listing on 100 items tomorrow and Sunday - then you CAN relist for free, as many times as you like - I often keep my unsold items back to relist them onver a free weekend.

Nar, though its only something nominal like 20p or something isn't it?

[ClinkatyClank]

Free weekend listing ?

Excellent - thanks !

[boxtops]

No B00, it's the full listing price for whatever that value is in that category - there isn't a reduction for relisting.

[boxtops]

^^ mind you, sometimes it's only 20p anyway!

Yep, I had an email from them this afternoon:

I haven't had that message Boxy. I've looked in announcements too and it's not there either. Hrrmmmph

[ClinkatyClank]

Boxpops, I don't see the announcement anywhere..?

[percypineapple]

I got a message about free listing this weekend.

[douglas9401]

I think it's up to 100 items @ 99p or less.

[horseshoes]

JUst out of curiosity did you have free listing on 7th & 8th January?

[maclarencat]

I wonder if it is free for everyone ? My daughter got an email but I didnt. I checked ebay notices and its not there

[ClinkatyClank]

I never got an email and doesn't say on the announcements ?

[douglas9401]

I've had the free listing message delivered on a Saturday afternoon in the past to be fair.

As far as I am aware there is no FLD this weekend. There are no announcements, the last one was 7th & 8th Jan

[B00]

oh right boxy, thought it was all relistings that were 20odd pence.

[horseshoes]

Guess what. I've had an e-mail saying there's free listing this weekend! It came through at 2.07 am. You were spot on Boxy.

[douglas9401]

I got mine at 02:10, still no word of it on eBay though but they have managed to send the fees invoice for last month. :)

[ClinkatyClank]

Yep, got an email too informing auction style only free listing.
