Has eBay.ca stopped offering extra free listings to non store subscribers

[femmefan1946]

Promotions are for the good of eBay, not presents for sellers, or for buyers.

If eBay thinks they need a lot more listings, they will hand out Free Listing promotions willy-nilly.

When eBay was trying to persuade Canadian sellers to list on eBayCanada, as they were last year,for example, we got 50,000 Free Listings on dotCA for a couple of months, as long as we listed in Canadian dollars.

If there is a category with fewer listings than eBay wants, Free Listing promotion.

If there are too few Auction listings for eBay's branding *, Free Auction Listings to persuade the 85% of sellers who have found Fixed Price Listings more profitable.

Without a Store, you have 50 Free Listings a month on dotCA and another 50 Free Listings on dotCOM if you want to use them.

With a Store, those disappear, but you get reduced rates** on your store items, from 10 cents to 3cents each depending on the type of Store.

*EBay is almost the only Auction generalist site around. Certainly the best known.

**EBay calls these 'free' but in reality you should divide the monthly store rental by the number of listings you have each month.
