Insertion Fees for Auction-style and Fixed Price listings will be waived or discounted, depending on your start price or reserve price, when you purchase Gallery on the U.S. www.eBay.com. Please see fee table below.

Please note: For sellers listing with any tool other than the latest version of the Sell Your Item form (SYI 3.0) the promotional price will not be shown during the listing process. Instead the discount will be reflected in the "View Account Status" section in My eBay, as well as in your next invoice.

hmm...I saw this this morning...and I was thinking last nigth to sell some stuff on ebay. Never have before.

anyone know a place I can go (online) to read all about "how to sell on ebay"? like an "selling on ebay for dummies" type thing?

i guess I just don't get the 'fees' thing. when i do sell, I'd like to provide enough pictures at least...I really think that's key when selling. (do you upload to ebay? link from somewhere else? see...i'm such a newbie!)
 
Don't forget, this promotion only applies to items start at $9.99 or less. I don't think I will list my name brand bags starting with $9.99. eBay still charges reserve price listings.
