Don't forget, you can launch your auctions FREE through Auctionwatch up to and including the 13th.
Auctions launched before the 14th will conclude with the photos attached, regardless of when the auction ends, i.e., 3, 5, 7, or 10 days from when you started it.
You will (according to answers in the moderator's section) be able to access the Auctionwatch control panel to review your results, etc., but after the 14th kicks in, would not be able to do anything new, unless you had signed up for one of their 2 fee programs.
You won't be able to ADVANCE SCHEDULE auctions for start dates from the 14th onward unless you have signed, but this still gives you numerous pre-schedule days left, depending on the length of auction you choose.
If you have any doubts at all about whether or not you will still be able to access an auction that, for example, was launched March 12 for 7 days, which according to AW, will be free, then SIGN UP for the #1 plan, which DOES NOT cost you any up-front money, then just do not use it to ever launch any auctions, therefore never incurring any 5 cents & 1% fees, but allowing you to at least ensure you are able to access the Auction Control Panel.
So, including today, you all have 11 (or 10 1/2 to be exact) ABSOLUTELY FREE auction launching days through Auctionwatch -- I know I'm gonna take advantage of that & get mega work done, more than I usually would, then come the 14th, other than sending EOA e-mails to winning bidders, I can relax a bit & check out where I'm moving to next.
My rec to you is get busy & sell!

Thanks for a clear summation! Your 'splelling' looks okay to me.

I'm also having problems with auctions not displaying properly, and I'm quickly getting back in the swing of listing directly through ebay again.

I found another place to list. Tonight I have listed a few. At first it was a little confusing, just reading every little thing was a real pain. But I knew I had to because it was all new to me.
Anyway, I really like the fact that I could place the description before my picture, then all the shipping terms etc, after the picture.
After a couple of listing I even found that if I clicked "list similar item" it would take me right back where I was and I could list another item without having to change anything except the description before my picture, and then change the picture! Everything stayed the same, you only change what you want to. I found that really time saving!
You can't create an auction and then have it launch at a certain time but that is the only draw back I can see. (Well, you can but there is a fee for that. If you want the option, it is there. I may use it at times in a pinch.)
They have really neat counters too!
I'd post where it is, but it would only lock the thread. So I won't.

I plan to take it very slow and easy. My scheduled auctions are launching automatically from my pc from now on. It can be done. I wish not be dependent on any third party for this service anymore.
