Free insertion for start prices under $9.99 on eBay Australia
24/06/2008 at 09:59
For four days on 26th – 29th June Australian eBayers can list for free for items starting at $9.99 or lower. Unusually compared to UK cheap listing days multiple items and dutch auctions are included in the promotion. There are a few exceptions, such as motors, classified ads and SIF, but virtually every other auction or buy it now listing is included.

This is only to compensate Australian sellers for now having to accept PayPal (rather than free bank transfers). Also to counter the massive negative PR that eBay has garnered after forcing Australian user to only use PayPal (since quashed by the ACCC).
Australian listing numbers are down as sellers start migrating to locally-owned auction sites like OZtion.com.au, TradeMe.co.nz, their own websites and free classified listings on Craigslist, etc.
