This would be a place holder.  I did the same thing with some book auctions.  eBay was only charging $.05 to list on the 14th, and I didn't have enough time to list everything.

so he's had a place holder for 3 days with shipping at 50.95??? is that so there is absolutely no chance anyone will place a bid?  what am I missing? why hasn't he filled in proper info by now then?

He is selling multiple of these "marquees"...... I guess that makes sense if using this as a place holder.

I would assume that even if the auction ends on him, then he will get to relist the item for free one more time, which he can then fill out the proper information.   Not a bad idea really .....

I still have 18 auctions that don't have any info.  I got kinda burned out after listing.  If I don't ever get to it, I'm only out $0.90, so I'm not too worried about it.

I'm guessing you missed the part where one of our own (Paul, aka pcolson) is TELLING us what he's doing, and why.
