[quote name='JohnnyDrama']Is it 20 cents flat rate, doesn't matter how much the starting price is?[/QUOTE]

That's the idea... But as usual just on the starting fee (not on any features or, obviously, a BIN - I'm going to be very disciplined and only incur the 20 cent fee, and start everything at the minimum I'd want for it - then I don't have to worry about a thing until they end).

Like YoshiFan, it's too bad it is only on regular auctions. I used to use regular auctions exclusively but the cheap listing days on BIN kind of convinced me to go that route and now I use them much more often. But I guess I'll go back to the "old way" for a bunch of crap I have sitting around (just hoping to break even on much of it after fees).

One thing I don't like about regular auctions is that I feel the need to time the ending (and thus the beginning) with a mid-to-late afternoon ending for maximum exposure in the last minutes. With the cheap BIN listing I could go crazy listing them all right after midnight on the starting day, see if anything sells during the day, and list more if I feel like it the following night (before midnight). With regular auctions I'll have to do everything tomorrow afternoon when I'm supposed to be working ;). Oh well, I got all my pictures ready to go anyway tonight... Should be pretty quick to pop everything up when I need to.

And yes, I know I should be using turbolister or whatever it is, but I'm set in my ways and know how to do it the way I do it ;).
 
man, they sent me the email about this today and the sale was yesterday. those bastards.
