Well, it's only free if it doesn't sell.   8)

I'm trying to list all the "collectible" junk I've had sitting in storage for years.  I have nothing to lose, except the time it takes to list it all.  I will be happy if I can just make back what I paid for it all.   :angel11:

I'd definitely recommend Amazon instead of eBay if you're a seller, the prices tend to be higher. I would look and see, at least.

But what do you mean about free listings...?

No, I didn't but I should take advantage of it. I haven't sold  or listed anything in a year or so but have been thinking about starting again.

I regularly sell on ebay now, and they have free listings for any item starting at 99 cents or below as a standard rule now. Each month, you get up to 100 of these. This time period in particular, you get free listings for most items starting at any price.

I have $300+ single magic cards that I would like to move, but I'm kinda shying away from the ~$30 closing fee.

I just ran a bunch of ebay auctions a few weeks ago...almost wished I'd waited when I got the free listing email   :BangHead: I have yet to try amazon out as a seller.  it may be a better option when I have books to sell.

Yes, but have not taken advantage of it.  I should but don't have the time right now.  Trying to keep time available to stay FC and do my work is a lot to handle right now printing, printing , printing  :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead:   ;) :thumbsup:

Free listings are good if you are selling things every once in a while. They really don't pan out though if you are on it constantly running a business. I promise you though. Even though eBay gives you a break on the listing fees every once in a while, they will get you later on other fees like final value. I used to have a business on eBay but not any more.  :BangHead:

I looked at ebay yesterday to see about free postings, it seems complicated with all the rules and forms to fill out. Is there an easier way to sell on line?

There are too many negatives I've heard about eBay, so no I would take advantage of their free listings.  So many people have lost money and items because of dealing with eBay.
