    Damn. They always do this after I sell something expensive

      Don't stress. Honestly, I've never had particularly strong sales over free weekend weeks - I'm guessing because every other Tom, Dick & Harry has listed their pricey items and people only have so much money to spend.

      There's a good chance you got a better price because there was less competition… well, that's how I attempt to justify my mediocre sales, lol.

      • Dick is here.

          Hey Dick!

        • I can't see it, can you link to a zoomed-in view please

      The trick is to wait until they have one of these days before selling something expensive

      • Or mark it up to what price your happy with

        I usually set a price I'm happy to sell at and then the default is to include the fees on top so I don't lose out.
        During these free/50% off I can then drop the prices a bit.

        • Higher price attracts higher fees, and decreases interest

          • @Plug: Yes but oddly I've sold more items with the higher prices than whenever I lower them, I still get the prices I want

            Of course if were talking about items in the $1000+ range the yeah a bit harder to sell but have still had the same happen

    Basically you just sell less stuff, but the stuff can be sold for cheaper without fees, so… it evens out?

  • Yeah it evens out imo, free selling just means I list a lower price and the following week put it back up

  • My free listing auction ended yesterday with no buyers. If I make an offer and someone accepts it today, will there be any success fee?

    • No, as you list it on free selling - there is no success fee applied.

      • Thanks. But the page on Make a Fixed Price Offer stated "If the offer is accepted you will be charged a success fee. Making this offer represents a commitment to sell at the stated price. See the current terms and conditions."
