Okay, so no big deal for most of my items, but good to keep in mind for higher ticket items. Thanks!!

^^^ ok so the 5 free listings are only good if your item sells for less than $25 but for larger items its not a good idea

If you want to use a listing service, I use auctionsplash's software for listing (www.auctionsplash.com). It gives 8 pictures with that supersize and it uploads your pictures directly from your computer, no hosting needed. The templates aren't the best but I use only one or two of the nicest ones anyway. Best thing of all is that the service is free!

^^^ thanks lvbabydoll thats a good idea

You're welcome! It has really saved me a lot of money...then if I do need any more than 8 pics in an auction, I just post a link to my photobucket album with the pics in it. I haven't had any trouble doing it that way when necessary.

ecmf · Nov 8th, 2009, 02:34 AM

^^^yep i have listed some stuff using the photobucket links and have saved a ton of $$$$

ecmf · Nov 8th, 2009, 04:29 PM

another money saving ??? if you list an item that does not sell isnt the listing free? how do you get a refund for the listing fee?

Lvbabydoll · Nov 8th, 2009, 04:33 PM

^You can only get the listing fee back once (i.e. if you list an item once and it doesn't sell, then you list it again and it DOES sell). If it still doesn't sell after the second listing, then you have to pay for each additional relist.
If you do qualify for the refund, it automatically gets adjusted on your ebay bill.

i hatye the fees and any way ot reduce thme is greatly apprecaited..

ecmf · Nov 8th, 2009, 10:35 PM

cool thanks lvbabydoll i listed a top that didnt sell the first time and when i listed it for the second time it did sell so thats good 2 no lol thank you

Lvbabydoll · Nov 9th, 2009, 01:29 PM

You're welcome! I know, it isn't really helpful for less popular items that need a few relistings before they sell.

ecmf · Nov 9th, 2009, 07:55 PM

Ok i just got an email from ebay about free listings for all items starting at $0.99 or less from the 11th Nov to 6th Dec

Whats the catch lol

Did any of you get it?

Lvbabydoll · Nov 10th, 2009, 03:24 AM

^Probably higher FVF's at the end, they always get you somehow...I got the email about the half priced auction listings from around that same time period.

ecmf · Nov 10th, 2009, 05:43 AM

^^^anyway i can list stuff for $0.99 and PAY for the listing like are you going to pay fp for your listings???

spammieiam · Nov 10th, 2009, 05:52 AM

I don't have any tips on saving money when listing but if you want your item to go for more or with more watchers, bids, etc. Try timing the listing to end on a Sunday or after six when people are home. I always get mine to end before midnight on the east coast too so I get a good crowd. Good luck!
