I do not see any limits this time. Is that true UNLIMITED FREE LISTING?
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Auctions are all about 2 people wanting 1 item. The trick is having it listed when the 2 bidders are looking.

Thanks, but NO THANKS, as International Sellers do not qualify. Or have I read it wrong?

Hi richierich--
UNLIMITED is the word of the month on this offer! No cap on this promo! Enjoy!!
Hi GreetingsfromUK--
c2it does not allow international sign ups, so you are right that International Sellers do not qualify...sorry about that.
Regards,
Chris Barker

GreetingsfromUK, You read it right. As usual, if you're not from the good ol' USA you don't count.
Isn't it about time a promotion included everyone? All said and done we trade on the WORLD WIDE WEB.
Perhaps we internationals can go the American way and launch a class action on the grounds of discrimination and restrictive trade practices!

"all of your AuctionWatch listing fees can be free. This does NOT include AuctionWatch Final Value Fees, or third party auction site fees. "
I list my auctions on ebay directly and manually.
Do you mean to say some people not only pay the ebay FVF but also pay AW a FVF on top of that?
Wow!

Why doesn't Auctionwatch show it's appreciation for ALL it's members who stuck with them when they initiated their fee's and reward ALL their members with a free listing day????? Sure makes me feel valued!
This is the second time you have isolated a share of your faithful members who stuck it out with you by offering this free listing day........which appears is not an offer that is extended to all auctionwatch members.......if you sell internationally!
Not "NanasTurtle" on ebay

Well, now, this sounds like a pretty good deal, except for users who have a PayPal charge/debit card.
One of the requirements for the 1 1/2% cash back is you only have PayPal in your listings.
So, I think I'll pass... The cash back is way, way more than the AW fees I would save.
Thanks for the offer, though. People who don't have the PayPal card could see a real benefit.

That's right, Ebay listing fees and FVFs.
AuctionWatch listing fees and FVFs.
PayPal or Billpoint Fees on the entire transaction including shipping.
Etc, Etc, Etc...
I passed on the AuctionWatch fees altogether and don't really miss their services....

I started using AW because I needed picture hosting. Does Ebay do that yet? I'd love to lose some of the fees.

Ebay has IPIX which isn't the world's greatest IMHO. The first pic is free and there are fees for additional photos after that.
I'm one of those Paypal Preferred seller who can't participate - oh well. I probably wouldn't anyway because I'd still have to pay AW FVF - which I can self host and use mister lister and get by just fine. 8) I use AW for the forums now - because you guys are all still a GREAT source of info and ideas.

cin131 Yes, eBay can host your pictures and do a very good job too. I have been using them since refusing to give AW a cut of my action for their lousy service. Must be a real boon to some to get free listing and still have to pay the final value fees. Whoopee!

cin131, who is your internet provider? You most likely have free web space that you could use for storage of your pictures, then when you set up your auctions in eBay, you link directly to your pics that way.
It's easy and free. The learning curve isn't too bad, you just need a FTP program such as WS_FTP. Sometimes, depending on how your ISP has their FTP area set up, you can log in directly using your browser and drag and drop your files directly.

Thanks for the free listing day. Really appreciate that.
Only problem is, C2it upgraded their site Sunday, and now I can't log onto their site despite 4 calls to customer service in the past 24 hours (I'm already registered with them). They tell me to be patient, others have had the same problem but I want to get these items listed NOW!
Hope they get the problem fixed real soon, otherwise I'm SOL!

Meya,
Your absolutely right about being able to drag & drop your pics to your web space.
When I switched over to cable modem in July I told the tech that getting my pics on the net was very important and it had to be fast and easy.
He set it up for me to drag & drop....I LOVE IT. No more FTP programs to go through.
Frankly, unless you are a seller that sells 1,000's of items a month(all different), I can't understand why anyone would want to pay a 3rd party a fee & a percentage to help you launch your auctions.
Make your own templates and save them.
I use MisterLister and I have a 1/2 dozen different templates stored on that program.
Plus all your all your auctions are saved as well until you delete them.
WAy back when AW was free I checked it out and quit frankly I wasn't impressed(I did a sample auction). I went back to MisterLister.
ITS EASY AND STILL FREE!!

The free listing is only the 5 cents AW charges, not the FVF or the eBay fees. So, if you double category, you'll be paying the big price!

Awwww... Not a good deal after all. I'll just stick with my other listing software. No benefit if you already use a listing software.

Be sure to read the c2it discussions in the AuctionWatch Partners message center. I did and think I'll pass on signing up.
