    My mates are telling me that every now and then Ebay allow you to post items with no charge

    Is this true ?

    If so how do you list an item for free

    cheers.

    they have been doing it regularly over the last few months every weekend in 2 weeks intervals.

    applies to private sellers for only auction style items and only for certain categories

    in some categories like clothing you can even avail of all the enhanced picture options for free

    13% that is quite a cut.

    14 % fees sounds high , but you reach a worldwide audience.
