Insertion Fees are normally non-refundable. However, if your listing ends without a winning buyer or ends with an Unpaid Item, you may be eligible for a relist credit. If the item sells the second time, eBay will refund the Insertion Fee for the relisted item.
Now I wonder if opening this ebay store will have any value to me.
There is another Half Price listing day on Thursday 3rd May - so keep an eye out for loads more "unsellable" listings!

Sellers can list dozens of items on Cheap Listing Days, and whether they sell or not is a small concern - they can be relisted once again and if they sell 2nd time around then the 2nd insertion fee is refunded to the seller.Insertion Fees are normally non-refundable.

So, regardless of what it cost first time around, your credit is based on the fee paid the 2nd time.
http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/quest ... elist.html - Clarifies the policy. Some of the key points include -
All items relisted in Auction-format and Buy It Now format will be eligible for the relist credit, regardless of format of the original listing. For example, you could list a car using the Classified Ad format and then relist it in Auction-format if it doesn't sell. Your second insertion fee will be refunded if your car sells.
The starting price you set for the relisted item must not be greater than that of the original listing - So you could list a blank item at £99 for 10p, then create a BIN with the relist at £79.99 and receive your higher listing fee back.
The market was flooded with all sorts of tat last week, but also with LOADS of high value items.
I'd leave it a week or two before checking again to see the activity, but i strongly suspect it will have dropped significantly.
If it hasn't and some sellers are simply pumping eBay full of loss-leaders, then invest in a featured listing that wll stay at the top of searches for up to 10 days, and along with checking category keywords you will gain maximum exposure for your product, appearing above the majority of the competition.
