This is for the U.S. site but eBay.ca usually falls in line, although there is no announcement as of right now.

Cheers,
Ernie.

WOW, it really sucks being a second class citizen. How far in advance does the US site get it's messages about promo's. I usually get my promo messages either the day of or the night before it's suppose to happen. (Sometimes the day after)
Thanks for the info. but I also put up my 5 day listings yesterday.

Apparently it's not being widely advertised on the US site yet, either. An eagle-eyed U.S. PS spotted the tiny ad and posted the link. However it seems those tiny ads are no longer showing up so this may have been a slip up by eBay because, you are right, they often only post these at the last possible moment.

As of now, the ad is on the front page of the eBay U.S. site, but no mention on the eBay.ca site that I can see.

The link still works. For ebay.ca fees it gives a link but it only goes to the main site.

Either way, thanks for the heads-up.

Lots of free listing Monday.

Thanks for the heads up. I was about to list a good number of electronics aucions and this will save me close to $50US in insertion fees. Perfect timing.

sunward-hobbies · ‎02-13-2005

Confirmed. Just got an email from ebay but no details as to exact time and which sites.

Being the pessimist I am, this got me thinking. Is eBay trying to "show us some love" as they claim, or are they just trying to throw a wrench into any mass "no-listing" protests organized for this coming week?

Yes Bill is trying to show us love.

He just posted a message on the US site saying he appreciates us and the 5 cents sale is a little jester of how important we are.

Really. I believe him.

The 5 cent listimg notice was only posted on the eBay.ca announcement board at 10 pm EST last night.

I checked out the eBay.com announcement board and it was posted at 7PM PST, so the announcement was posted at the same time for both .ca and com.

I didnt receive an email from them announcing it. I will probably get it next week.
