I don't know about the rest of you but I get messages from ebay all the time ( at least once a month) for free listings from such and such date till whenever, usually a few days later. If you really don't want to pay for listings then I would recommend making your listings up with a scheduled start time and date 3 weeks in advance, which is the maximum you can schedule a listing in advance. Then when you get a message for free listings you can then take advantage and list everything then for free. You may have to reschedule your listings if you don't get any free listings messages in that 3 weeks but you will eventually get that free listings message. If nothing else you will have your listings ready to go for whenever you want to list them. Did any of that make sense to you all? I know I have a hard time explaining things clearly sometimes.
