eBay extends free shipping incentive through March.
I was wondering if they would, and kinda hoping.

Although, I'm not sure I actually saved money offering free shipping. Sure, I got half off my final value fees, but didn't have any shipping costs that were exempt from FVF. Buyers seem to like it, however. I know I like it when I'm buying. :) And I'm hoping it will give me a boost in those damn DSRs.

1. I only offer free shipping on expensive items as an incentive to buy them.
ebay's getting way too gimicky in their attempts to keep sellers happy. What we want is overall lower fees and the ability to leave negative feedback on deadbeat buyers.

2. Agree on the negative feedback for buyers, definitely!
That's probably the worst policy change they've ever made, and they've done some stupid things.

On the other hand, the 35-cent flat insertion fee for Buy-It-Now items, regardless of quantity, duration, or price, has been very welcome.
