Thanks John. There's a good chance I'll put it to use.
Edit: Oh, here's what it means, in a nutshell. First, eBay now has several ways you can list your items. #1. is still the normal way, list it and it gets auctioned off. #2. is this "fixed price" listing. Basically what it amounts to is a listing where there's only the buy-it-now option.
Anyways, that listing option is free today. So if you have something to sell on eBay... today is the day.
