Can anyone confirm if this is going to effect our items visibility on eBay.com If it is then I would rather not have the promotion to be honest. I have the same question as Des.

Although the announcement states the .com non vis spiel, this has arisen as eBay has hurriedly got the announcement out with cut and paste from a very old promotion. .com vis is now a paid for feature and not a default. Those paid for by me for today are showing on .com. 5. Kate. Does it work for gtc? I am going to test it out. 4. Des.

If you list an item on eBay.co.uk from any time after 10am the day before a one-day promotion until 10am the day after a one-day promotion, that item will not be shown automatically on eBay.com, even if it meets the normal criteria for visibility (see our previous announcement for details). This restriction on visibility on eBay.com will apply for the full duration of the item listing. We’re doing this because the one-day promotions we run are specific to eBay.co.uk, and not available to sellers on eBay.com, and we want to make sure that we aren't putting our US sellers at an unfair disadvantage. The same restriction applies to US sellers during their one-day promotions, so that their items don’t appear on eBay.co.uk. We realise that a lot of sellers will be disappointed about this, and we’re sorry if this restriction causes you any inconvenience. Regards, The eBay Team" And does this mean I have to manually take US visibility off all my new listings or will ebay still take the visibility fee and not tell me I'm wasting my money??

Although it's easy to see if none have sold subconsciously a nice round 10 looks less attractive than "oh there's only 7 left, I'd best buy one quick" It’s a darn good point Whirly, which is why many sellers will list 7 or 13 items rather than 10.

On the down side I reckon alot of buyers who may see you have 1 item would be more inclined to buy it straight away but if you had 10 maybe they maybe more inclined to wait until they are ready (does that make sense?)
