***********************************
Hi everyone...This is Jamie Stark from eBay's Marketing team. Once again, I'm here to let all sellers know that you have a little over 24 hours to get ready for our next Auction-style listing promotion! On Thursday, May 24th, the insertion fees for Auction-style listings on www.ebay.com will only be 20¢.
The 20¢ Insertion Fee Sale starts on Thursday, May 24, 2007 at 00:00:01 Pacific time (12:00 a.m. plus one second) and ends that same day, Thursday, May 24, 2007 at 23:59:59 Pacific time (11:59 p.m. plus 59 seconds). Listings which were created prior to May 24, 2007 and scheduled to start during the promotional period will also be eligible for the special promotional rate. Please note: If you schedule a listing to start during the promotional period, the regular price will still be displayed during the listing process. However, you will only be charged the promotional price.
********************************
With the new FEEDBACK kicking in around the 19th...looks like eBay needs to pull out some more stops to get those numbers up for the shareholders. Last year, this was the final "sale" until early fall.

Absolutely insane. Where did you get the seller's qualifications - didn't see them in your link. Was your edited to add tongue-in-cheek?

May is never a good month for me and so I won't be participating.
