I haven't received an invitation in the last 2 months and I'm wondering when the last offer of 500 free auctions was sent out. I've tried contacting and talking to people at ebay but they are clueless and get me nowhere.
It would be nice to speak to someone who actually works in Canada.....just frustrated.

At least the last 2 free listing promos I have received have been for 500 free listings in either auction or fixed price...most recent one ends on Dec.16th (I don't have a store on eBay)

Thanks for the tag @ypdc_dennis!
Hi @brettjet38 - thanks for reporting that. The link should be pointing you here instead, I'll get it escalated. Thanks!

I'm surprised that there are any Free Auction Listings in December at all.
List a seven day auction on Dec 13 and it ends Dec 20.
Ship within 24 hours and it will arrive in time for Little Christmas (~January 6, 2020) if you're lucky.

Current free promo -- list a 10 auction on Dec 16 and the auction will end on Boxing Day.

That would be a good one.
I find Boxing Day to be the beginning of my busy season.

The last few promos have all been Auction or Fixed Price the latter end when somebody buys it which could be 5 minutes after listing. Of course there of things which are in no way related to Christmas purchases so timing is somewhat irrelevant.
Then there are people like me who buy stuff at this time of year as "Christmas presents" for themselves, Once I've bought them (and I pulled the trigger on several in the past couple of days) I don't care when they arrive.
In any event, anything I sell to the USA by the 20th (before 2:00pm Eastern) will likely be delivered by the 24th. Same goes for anything sent Lettermail within Canada and even local Expedited.

I think of all Boxing Day sales as "self-gifts" because when we had our shop, sales in December were dismal, as our regular collectors moved their "fun" allowances to gifts for others.
By Boxing Day they had built up a Strong Need to buy for their collections and poured in, even if they didn't get gift certificates from the family or Santa.
