When you list any item in the ‘Home & Garden and ‘Clothes & Shoes, Accessories’ categories during our half – price weekend you’ll pay a half price Insertion Fee AND be able to use the Gallery Listing Upgrade Feature for free for each item you list to help you attract buyers.

It’s a great time to have a clear out and start selling. What have you got in your home that people might want to buy? Established sellers can take advantage of the reduced listing fees and list more.
