In case you wish to ”regift” some of your Christmas presents or sell stuff that your new loot has replaced, eBay is offering a 10 cent listing day tomorrow, 27 Dec 07 for all fixed price and auction style listings on the US and Canada sites regardless of the opening bid amount.
This is a good time to remind you of a tip we posted earlier. As eBay always seems to provide only a day’s warning when they offer these specials, it’s a good idea to have a bunch of auctions “in the bag” and ready to go for such occasions. I usually have a bunch of goodies that aren’t the best selling items ready with photos, templates, descriptions, and shipping costs calculated for just such eBay listing sales. If they don’t sell – I’m only out the 10 cents it cost to list – not the normal listing fee amount.
