I know they had a promotion for fixed price listings a couple weeks ago but do not recall whether they did it for Buy IT NOW which only cost 5 cents regularly does it not? I suspect listings are not up to expectations. Also stores ( not ebay stores) are giving some really good deals this year and you do not have to pay shipping.

buyhigh,
Thanks for the info!! Gives me food for thought on some of the stock that I need to move. (Okay, sometimes someone needs to kick me just to get me to think!)

Given the slow start to Christmas sales, expect to see more eBay promos in coming weeks to kick off sales...

Oh, I figured there must be a good reason why I can't seem to list anything. Guess everybody else and their aunt and uncle must be taking advantage of it...

Sorry. Just noticed that was for yesterday. Always a day late and a dollar short. Now still got to figure out why I can't seem to list...

Oh, believe me, I'm screaming all kinds of things, but can't get beyond the listing page. Everytime I hit "eBay Preview" everything comes to a dead stop. If you know what's happening, please post again. BUT I won't see it till the AM. I've had it...spent 2 hours and managed 1 listing!
