Jumpstart your New Year with a Free Listing Day on the U.S. site (www.ebay.com) on Saturday, April 1st, 2006, starting at 00:00:01 PT (12:00 AM plus one second) and ending at 23:59:59 PT (11:59 PM plus 59 seconds).
During the U.S. Free Listing Day, the insertion fees for all Auction-style, Fixed Price, and Store Inventory listings will be $0.00 on the U.S. site (www.ebay.com), including Motors Non-Vehicles listings. This includes listings created prior to Today but scheduled to start Today.

Take advantage of this offer by listing through the Sell Your Item Form, Turbo Lister, Seller's Assistant, Seller's Assistant Pro, and third party tools.
We hope you enjoy the U.S. Free Listing Day. Thanks for a great year!
At first glance I thought "Great....I didn't get anything about this one either!" Then I kept reading. Then I saw "triple the normal rate" (spewed coffee at the computer) and thought "Has eBay lost it's mind?".

Even eBay couldn't be that stupid. Although, on the other hand, I have to agree with the poster who said "people don't read."

Now that is a good one for April fools. I can just see ebay reading this board and following through. Wouldn't that pi$$ off a lot of sellers....
Yep I was skimming the sentances and leaving out the last and didn't even see the triple part until I read twigs spewing coffee at the monitor. Guilty didn't fully read but KNEW I didn't get a notice from Ebay either.
