For me, this is a useless promotion.
Maybe if sellers do not partake, eBay will have another promotion.
Answer
Last year, eBay had a series of promotions leading up to Christmas.
I think there will be a Free Listing Day again this year, as usual.
Answer
I think so too. It is always the day after I decide that I am done for the year! http://community.here.com/infopop/em...icon_smile.gif
