Here is a trick to use to be able to check a listing without it actually running.
Create the listings with the Sell Your Item form. In the price section, you specify to Start Listing immediately OR Schedule start time ($0.10) and you choose a time.
Choose a date 2 weeks in the future. You will not be charged immediately. You will only be charged when (if) eBay launches the listing at the scheduled time. You will see a 10 cent charge added to your listing fees. No fees are charged until the listing is started.
Your scheduled listing will show up in My eBay Scheduled Listings. Now you can click on the listing and check how it looks and how the shipping is working. Put in various postal codes and USA zip codes and see how it is working. Also other countries.
If there are issues, then Edit the scheduled listing and keep the scheduled time and revise what is needed. It will stay there in Scheduled Listings for you to review again.
Once you are satisfied with the listing, you edit and change to start listing immediately. When you get to the next page to launch the listing, you will have a summary of fees to be charged. It should not have the schedule fee and no other fees if you are using the 50 free auctions. Launch the listing.
You can use this trick to hold a few listings until you are ready to launch. When you have more than one to launch, use bulk edit to revise all to start immediately.
To use bulk edit, check off the listings in My eBay Scheduled Listings and click Edit above. A spreadsheet like view of the listings appears with an Edit on the left with a drop down box to select Start Time.
PS At this time ship only to Canada and the USA, no worldwide shipping (more things to learn). Sell only low priced items (under $20) to start to figure out how everything on eBay works. Read these forums daily to learn from others experiences.
