Thanks for the update, it hasn't shown up in MY EBAY yet but then I lost my powerseller status so maybe I will get it later.

Not crazy about the Wednesday listing date but finally we in the lonely hearts club have something to do on Valentine's Day.

I won't be participating. Not enough incentive for me. In fact, 20 cent would not get me listing at this time, either.
I sure wish google would get an auction site started.

Da-------- and I listed one item on Sunday and one on Monday and if I had waited I could have saved 40 cents. Wondering what I could have bought for that 40 cents. I know! a postage stamp. I guess if one lists hundreds of items or big ticket items it May be worthwhile.

I will be taking advantage of it. Since I stated a few weeks back that I am only going to list on these special days because of eBay's endless fee hikes, I would be a hypocryt if I didn't.

I'll list. I'm stuck at home today. My county has issued a level 3 snow emergency (driving is prohibited - unless it's an emergency).

Not for me... I did horrible the last sale day... plus, all my customers want is Fixed Price.

Ladyjewels,
I'm in the southeastern corner of Indiana -very close to Cincinnati. Yesterday, we had rain most of the day, but the ground was so cold that the rain froze as it hit the ground. There was snow under the ice and we got more ice last night. The roads were all iced over this morning. We usually get winter storms a few times each winter, but we don't often get this much ice.
They lifted the level 3 emergency about an hour ago, but a lot of the local businesses, even the banks are closed today - so it's not like I've got any place pressing to go.

cherished, burrrrrrrrrr, It is snowing here again quite unusual for Texas but it sure isn't as bad as up north and northeast. wow I would not make a good northerner for sure could not stand the cold that well. Guess it all comes down to what you are use to for sure. Hope everyone keeps warm.
I am not taking advantage of the promo either, I think we should get a penny day like the one they got last week. Shame on ebay for not doing that for us US sellers. It would be nice if they did it by time zone that way every seller would have a different time to list on a promotion, might cut down on the overload from a nationwide promo.

Irked, that is a fantastic idea. That would solve the overload problem. Of course, I doubt ebay will do us any favors, here in the US.
I am not listing. I did so poorly in January, my worst ever, that I am not in a hurry to give my money to ebay again.

Cold here in the northeast, also. I drove my car to my mailbox, thought I would fall in my driveway if I attempted to walk. It is only at the curb, about 100ft from my house. When I got there, the mailbox was frozen shut with ice. Drove car back into the garage, got screw drivers, pried open my mailbox, all that effort for my wireless bill!! Oh well, was bored anyway.
