There's no way to predict when eBay will have a free listing day. They do it about twice a year (the next will probably be sometime in November or December) and it is only announced about 10-12 hours in advance, on the Announcements board at eBay.

Just a note... eBay often does "free listing days" at times when VERY few people are listing or bidding on eBay (around holidays or other times when people are online less). They do this to encourage listing during times that are traditionally slow at eBay.

I've found that it's a waste of time using the free listing days. I save the $.30 it costs to put an item up, but I end up having about half the number of people looking at my auction.

You're better off spending the 30 cents and getting a wider audience (a likely higher final bid) for your item.

Free listing? They have these? Do they have "we don't take a cut off the final bid price" days too?

ebay canada

I just got a e-mail from them about listing for free.
The info:
List for free on August 12 12:00 am-11:59.59 edt
I am sure this info is 100% legit, but you can alway go to ebay and find out.
I think its for Canadian ebayers though.

Actually, it was for everybody, it'll just appear on the canadian ebay site only.
