 What is it?
Between Monday 20th November and Wednesday 22nd November 2006, sellers who list using the Auction-style, Auction-with-Buy It Now or Buy It Now Only (Fixed Price) formats, and who offer a free UK postage option to buyers, will be charged a reduced Insertion Fee of 5 pence and will also be able to use the Gallery Listing Upgrade feature for free for each item they list.
Please refer to "What's Excluded?" and "What's Included?" for more details.
Please note: Only the latest version of the "Sell Your Item" form will show the promotional fees that sellers will be charged. To start selling with the latest version click here. If sellers use the old version of the "Sell Your Item" form, it will show them that they have been charged the full Insertion Fee and Gallery Listing Upgrade Feature Fee. However, if their item is eligible for the promotion, they will see from the "My account" section of "My eBay" that the promotional fees have been applied to the items they list.

What's Included?
Sellers that list an item on eBay.co.uk in pounds sterling (GBP) and who offer a free UK postage option (i.e. free delivery to any UK address) as their first postage option when listing their item will qualify for the promotion. When listing their items, Sellers must in addition do the following in the SYI form to ensure they qualify for the promotion:
- In the domestic postage section: sellers must select the 'Flat: same cost to all buyers' option.
- In the Postal Service section: sellers must select any postal service apart from the 'collection in person' option and sellers must also enter '0' into the first '£' field. Please note: if the seller selects the first hyphen postal service option (i.e. '-') in the SYI form, the seller must indicate in their listing what postal service they will offer the buyer. Remember that this cannot be 'collection in person'.
- In the Insurance section: sellers must not require insurance and the cost of insurance must be set to zero.
- Post-to-location: sellers must select the: 'Will post to UK...' option and need to ensure that they have not selected the: 'Will not post - local pick-up only' option.
Please note: If your Sell Your Item form does not contain more than one postage option, follow the link at the top of the 'SYI page > customise form' and select postage, where you can choose to have multiple domestic services or multiple domestic and international services.
