Now! Start listing!







just kidding  >

It doesn't look like anyone is listing their 5 free listings on the .com site.  The listing count is 11.4 million and falling.  Last year's Canada Da/July 4th weekend low was 11.9 million.  Essentially no growth in auction format counts since 2004 on the .com site.

I certainly didn't list - I don't list on the .ca site when they have their "so called" sales where they charge you full price for the insertion fee, then reimburse you a credit over a month or month and a half later (after they they made money on the interest from the full insertion fee they charged).

Happy C day to my buds up their.
But no ebay seems to still be the thing "A"

Every penny helps  : but they would probably gain more in the long run by issuing immediate credits and not annoying their customers with misleading "pay full price now, receive a site credit months later" sales
