Listings have gone from under 9 million to 11.5+ million.  Last year's listing sale pushed the total over 17 million.




No, I didn't list anythng on eBay today.

I listed some more expensive items that probably won't sell because I was bored at work.

I sold 4 "core" listings yesterday that I listed as an experiment. eBay's take was 20% between listing and FVF including the stuff that didn't sell Kim

Now I remember why we don't list there.  It's the stuff that doesnt sell (i.e. the relisting fees) that really get you.

Last year's listing sale pushed the total over 17 million.

15.2 million this year

I didn't list anything, either. I almost forgot my main username password, too!
