Just sharing some information. It's usually a "free" listing day... but I guess the eBay money making machine is in full stride. Still a nice day to list a bunch of things at a discount.

I bet Meg Whitman is behind this nefarious scheme.

Meg: Free Listing Day? That takes away from my profits! No sale!
Marketing Rep 1: We usually do this as a way to thank eBay members for their continued support and...
Meg: You're fired!

We usually refer to it as "trained pig day" because you pretty much get everyone coming out of the woodwork to list the worst crap imaginable.

Still, useful for listing those big tickets. I'll be putting a few up tomorrow with openers I can live with, and the rest I'll list Tuesday.

Yeah... so much for listing that big stack of Pacific inserts I am using as drink coasters.

You're right that it's a good day to list big ticket items and not get hit with additional fees for opening bids over $9.99

Muchly appreciated Jay!

Regardless a fixed priced big $ item is still only ten cents to list. If just one goes, you're way ahead.
