Question on the eBay free listings: specifically store owners with GTC

CollectorsCorner · Aug 21, 2012

On the 19th I noticed a couple of my items relisted for free, I checked again today and a bunch more were relisted but I was charged the .05 per card.

What are you guys seeing?

Shouldn't they be free? Up to 10,000 a month

Called eBay, didn't think I would get through that fast

GTC you need to end your listing and relist it.

So, I don't want all my stuff ending on the same day, I will be ending everything within 24 hours every day for a month and relist it at the same time.

Probably worth saving the money even though it is a hassle that should be easily taken care of by eBay

not to sound stupid but why are they free? Am I paying money I don't need to pay? I have a premium store and pay 5 cents a listing.

All sellers in the sports mem category get free listings until december 31st. As a store owner we get 10,000 a month but to get that you have to either list it in that time or relist it. I have around 1,000 listings up right now so that saves me $50 a month so pretty much a no brainer.

I'm freaking out. I've got 1000 items a month too. I googled it after I replied and found the info. Super excited for this but stinks that I have to end all my current listings. That's fine though, I'm going to list a bunch of junk I wouldn't normally list.

Ya, I debated ending them all at once and relisting all at once. Decided to just do the ones within a 24 hour span each day to keep my sanity.

It's not "hard" to end them and relist them all, wouldn't take too long and I think I'd be more likely to stay sane that way, but for some reason I feel like I shouldn't have all my stuff on the same schedule. I don't know why, with GTC it doesn't make a difference, but I do feel that way.

Do you have to end and relist every month? That would be a pain.

Good question, I wouldn't think so but I didn't think I would have to relist in the first place

That's how I felt. I like having stuff ending daily and listed daily haha

markotsay7 · Aug 22, 2012

Me too but why is that? It's strange and with GTC it doesn't make any sense. Plus since I'm always listing and always selling it'll probably balance itself out in a month or so

1 day auctions don't get the discount..

markotsay7 · Aug 22, 2012

I think he means that he likes having a situation where some auctions start every day and some auctions end every day.

I am helping out one of the local card shops this week with his eBay store. I ended his 2,000 listing and relisted them all. One thing I didn't think of before that I noticed right away were some immediate sales because they were "brand new" listings. I am going to see how many sell by tomorrow morning to see if I will end them all and relist them all at once or do what I was originally planning to do.
