If you don't have a store look for the new promo to have one for 5.95 for 4 months. Just got it on 3/5 ids, including one that had a promo store offer last year. Annoying this comes just after I finish redistrubuting listings between ids and .ca/com ...

I no longer want to be notified of EBAY DEALS. How do I stop them coming?
Just wanted to warn everybody about what happened to me! I purchased £2100 of Thomas Cook Vouchers off a business seller he had good feedback and actually seemed a lovely guy! He disappeared once I questioned if I could have the tracking number to my...

I had a couple of items unsold, and it has been over 60 days. Are they permanently gone? I want to list them again and don't want to have to start all over again with the listing and measuring for shipping.

Is it just me or have there been fewer promos since the Spring update?
