Starting May 1—get up to 2,500 FREE listings* every month with an eBay Stores subscription

eBay has reduced the upfront cost to sell for Store sellers! With eBay’s new everyday rate plans, you get from up to 150 to 2,500 FREE listings* per month—no insertion fees, auction-style or fixed price—with an eBay Stores subscription. You pay a final value fee only when you sell! Plus, the final value fees for Stores have been streamlined to just 5 competitive category-based rates as low as 4%—and never more than 9%—regardless of how you sell.

Learn more about everything eBay Stores have to offer, then use the Fee Illustrator to find the best Store option for you! Watch this tutorial to learn how.

*Pay no insertion fees for your allotted free listings per calendar month. Optional fees, including advanced listing upgrades and supplemental service fees, still apply. Pay final value fees only when you sell. Motors Vehicles, Real Estate, Heavy Equipment, Concession Trailers & Carts, Imaging & Aesthetics Equipment and Commercial Printing Presses are excluded. 12 free pictures does not apply to Motors Vehicles listings. Terms are subject to change. Learn more.

Thanks for that info - I'm a relative newbie to Town Hall & was unaware of the suggestion thread. I take it no other suggestions are being considered? Meaning no disrespect to the persons who I'm quite sure have put many hours of time and effort into this project IMHO from perspective of a newbie (we sometimes see things clearer because we are seeing them for the 1st time) who also happens to be a fund-raiser for a non-profit org, this it a fairly ill-conceived list based, I assume, more on how the regulars here feel about these charities rather than whatis actually known. I am SO impressed with this extrordinary gift of love that has been compiled, but I fear you may be limiting it's final value because your worthy cause is not as worthy as it COULD be!

Fairlyodd, thanks for the input but this is a community project and any community member was allowed to nominate the charity of their choice. None were excluded. We are past that now and are voting on those nominations to get our final list of charities.

If you would like to vote it would be welcomed

for me - i follow the philosophy: "charity begins at home".. so: (1) how about giving the monies to "ebayers" who have had catastrophic losses in their lives.. like a family who no longer has medical insurance and must keep a family member on some type of expensive medication.. or a family who has suffered some uninsured weather-related incident - like losing all their property from a tornado.. you get the idea.. (2) to me, this is better than giving the money to some organization that will use the funds for current payroll expenses and the like..
