Anyone find the "eBay counter" does not count down how many items ( private seller) has left from 300 at end of month
Summary: karenkevkat01 is discussing a potential issue with eBay's item allowance counter for private sellers. They noticed that when listing items late on the last day of the month, the counter doesn't update, leading to unexpected insertion fees being charged. They speculate this could generate significant revenue for eBay if many sellers experience the same issue. karenkevkat01 plans to monitor their listings carefully to avoid extra charges.
Good morning all...
Does anyone find if you leave it until the last day of the month ( late at night) to use up what's left of your 300 item allowance ( private sellers) that the eBay counter does not count down how many items you have left?
Reason I ask this ( and to make other sellers aware) is Iv noticed this several times & despite me trying to keep a count myself when listing Iv clearly failed to do so on some months...
I was going through my account for this year ( fees postage labels etc) and saw I had sometimes been charged 35p insertion fees ( end / start of new month) e.g maybe 6 or 7 items each time ( now I know 35p a time x6 is not a huge amount of money) but & here is my but - if this was to happen to 1 million sellers per month this is 2 million ( pounds) generated by eBay for insertion fees!
I for one will be watching very carefully if I am listing items tomorrow ( last day of August) if it's getting near end of day ( maybe this "glitch" does not happen if you are listing end of month but during daytime as it has more time to catch up)

·1 week agoIt does sound like a glitch but I can't imagine many 'private' sellers listing over 300 items per month!!
