eBay’s Bargain Listing Day Isn’t What It Used To Be.
If you’ve been waiting to unload some of those gifts you just don’t want, longtime eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY) fans know that today offers an opportunity to post them at a discounted listing fee.
All day today, $0.15 will serve as your insertion fee for fixed-price and more conventional auction-style items in most categories. Naturally, any successful transactions will incur the popular site’s normal final-value fees. Yet it’s still a good deal on the surface, especially since eBay charges as much as $4.80 in insertion fees throughout the year.
However, $0.15 is a new number out of the auctioneer’s camp. Until a few years ago, the listings on a day that was typically the second day after Christmas were completely free. That changed when the company erected a tollbooth on the popular promotion to charge $0.10 for each listing on Dec. 27, 2004, instead.
