It was free listing yesterday and Saturday, Flob - but you are right it used to be 99p and under free listing. I think Ebay keep changing the rules. If you add photos or put a sub heading they charge for that.
Its not the listing bit thats the problem, its the final vaue commision they charge. on my items, its about 10 percent, then paypal at, I think, 6 per cent, soon knocks a hole in your profit.
