What a joke!!  The sellers like myself have listed those items for 5 cents al lthe time and here eBay is making this annoucement today.

Am I missing something??  I don't see what is so exciting about this annoucement, do you??

They could have make this annoucenment that we can list them for free like the Sports Memorabilia categoy.

Again, eBay is a joke!!

eBay has had this promo for 5 cents for DVDs for 4 years now and it gets extended all the time.  Some sellers who sell mainly in these categories that this promo applies to do not bother with a store to sell these items to save the $49.99 Premium Store monthly fee. Or they can get the Basic store at 15.99 a month to save $34.

For sellers with a Premium store or higher, there is no advantage to this promo. To others it is a savings. So not a joke to some sellers.

Anyone with half a brain knew it would be "extended", its never been "regular" price.   But auctionbytes did a piece last week on the effect of it ending that whipped some into a frenzy over it.

Yup.......

That's probably the 8th time since the promo normally gets renewed for 6 months.

It's interesting to see that this time the extension is only until March 31st. I have my suspicions that will be the date that a major fee restructuring will take place. Can't wait for the Q1 Seller Update :_|
