Quote:***Canada Day 5 Free Listings Long Weekend***

Who is eligible? Any Canadian resident eBay user. Only your first five Auction Format & Fixed Price listings and gallery upgrade fees will be eligible.

1. eBay never mentions how the .ca site is doing
2. eBay.ca has had almost weekly sales this year

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).

Every penny helps : Smile

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
