OK, SO WHERE IS THE 5¢ LISTING SALE FOR NOVEMBER?

[canadabeltbuckles]

I have noticed that eBay usually offers a 5¢ listing day at least once a month.

Sure would be nice to see one about now, especially with Christmas coming, and the cut off dates for shipping worldwide and to the states. I would hate to have to refuse an order because of the cut off shipping dates with CP... 😞

Anyone have any ideas as to when and if there will be a 5¢ listing sale this month?

Is there any way to know before it is advertised? I usually get only a 1 day notice via email, on these things. Probably like everyone else.

I will assume that if there was a way to know when the 5¢ listing day were to occur, then everyone would wait and not list their items till that time, so it kind of makes sense not to tell everyone it will happen mid month or next Monday, etc...

I was just wondering...

Any thoughts or experience with this?

Thanks, and best regards.

"Any one know why?"

The staffer responsible for such announcement is no longer employed by eBay. You may not be aware but while eBay announced a 10% staff reduction worldwide a few months ago, the Toronto Canadian Head Office suffered a much larger loss of staff. .

Thanks Pierre,

I wasn't sure why but your explanation surely tells all.

Will the last eBay staff member to leave please turn out the lights.

Blackthorne just announced that the 7 who developed the software are being let go as well.

That is a big OUCH for those of us who use BT because those 7 have been the best in troubleshooting and keeping the BT software up to date with all of the eBay changes that have been thrown out there.

Even better....the personal help from each of them.

BT said that eBay techs will take over. That is really scary but I'm hoping my thoughts and fears are proved wrong.

Too bad they didn't keep the good ones like Miriam.

I just had eBay "Customer Service" give a buyer incorrect information regarding getting a refund with the intonation that "I" should know better. I gave the buyer the correct information and told her that eBay reps sometimes give out "wrong" information. If I get a neg for it, it will be eBay's fault, not mine, but I will be the one to pay.

I know exactly what you are talking about Judy, the same thing has happened to me twice now.

eBay Customer Service provided 2 of my buyers with incorrect info, and then provided me with the same incorrect info. I had to provide them with the proper info and related link to the information...

Thank God we have people on this board, (Powersellers) who know what they are talking about and can help us.

I get better, and more correct info from these posts then from eBay Customer Service/Support... 😞

I also get updates to policies, etc... faster here then from eBay as well...
