Ebay has all the bells and whistles... wonderful enterprise services to complete your online transactions but the customer service is VERY POOR! I had to explain their policy to them... NOTE the time and how long it takes as well...
Also there is no real protection for sellers from fraudelent users.

balance*
8:17:34 PM its4my4kids
I signed up to pay my balance automatically with paypal... also I check my "accounts" page and the .25 cents was charged... I have a lot of books to post and many of them may not sell. So it will cost me more just to post... that is why I'm very interested in the promotion
8:22:09 PM Pamela B.
Yes you can list under the promotins
8:22:25 PM Pamela B.
there are no charges on the listing
8:22:47 PM its4my4kids

8:23:27 PM Pamela B.
Nope there is no fees for this listing as I see it is free
8:23:29 PM its4my4kids
I'm very confused... can you explain why its charging me .25

8:32:56 PM its4my4kids
???
8:32:58 PM Pamela B.
Hey I see that you have listed the item with the starting price as 2.99
8:33:08 PM its4my4kids
and?
8:33:38 PM Pamela B.
In fact it should be as 0.99 it should be less than $1
8:34:29 PM its4my4kids
I'm not following? There is a free listing promotion for any price.
8:35:03 PM Pamela B.
Yes there are promotions goin on
8:35:28 PM Pamela B.
But then the item should be listed under the 0.99 it should be less than $1
8:35:43 PM Pamela B.
and I see your starting price is 2.99
8:36:01 PM Pamela B.
so that is the reason you are been charged
8:36:10 PM its4my4kids
I'm not following you? What does .99 cents have to do with it?
8:36:41 PM its4my4kids
No. There is a an ebay promotion listed / advertised on your web site that states list for any price with NO Listing fees!!!
