eBay is trying to generate some buzz on its site by offering eBay sellers and eBay users in general a special on linsting fees. But there is a catch, the sellers must have a certain DSR level to get the special promotion. Apparently eBay does not want to encourage "iffy" sellers to flood the market with more "iffy" listings :)
The special promotion, in pacific time, ranges from March 25 to 31st, 2008. Details on it by eBay itself.
DSR for those not familiar, is the relatively new "detailed seller rating" that eBay introduced so as to give buyers a better handle on how good a seller is. They apparently decided that the three tier rating of "positive", "neutral", or "negative" was not detailed enough, and it was not giving buyers an accurate picture.
There are some exclusions and restrictions and such, so be sure to read all the details, and if you haven't check, take a look at your DSR rating if you are an eBay seller.

Office Max: 20% off everything you can fit in the paper bag!
Check your Sunday paper! Or run to your local news-stand, convenience store or bookstore to get one! Office Max has a paper bag inside the Sunday paper that gets you a 20% discount on almost everything that fits inside the bag.
The bag is a about the size fo the average grocery store paper bag, so you can fit quite a few items inside. Of course the people running Office Max are not dumb, they do have some restrictions as to what you can put in. No gift cards, no phone cards, no Office Max ImPress items. Discount only applies to in-stock items, and not for special orders. No rainchecks!
The bag must be surrendered at the time of purchase and cannot be combined with other coupons or discounts. The promotion is valid from March 9 thru March 15, 2008.
This is part of the 20th anniversary celebration of Office Max :)

Free after rebate in this week's Sunday paper
Hello fans of freebies! Let's see what we have in this week's Sunday newspaper ads. FREE is good! We like FREE! So let's get started!
First up, not rebates, but rather Cash Register Rewards at Walgreens. These are better than rebates, since you receive them at checkout, and can use them the next time you shop. They do have their restrictions, but if you are a regular shopper at Walgreens, or if you can find something to buy there (they do have a variety of items), then it's a good deal. Lots of soaps this week. Details here.
Staying at Walgreens, and using their new March 2008 EasySaver rebate catalog, you can get FREE after mail-in rebate the following three items: $13 rebate will make the Garnier Nutritioniste Skin review free. The packaging looks nice too, with the bright green and black. And FREE feels better :) And your teeth will feel better when you brush them with the free after $3 rebate Colgate Total Advanced toothpaste. It won't taste good - very bland taste - but it tastes FREE :)
The last item is an $8 rebate, and gives you Nature Made Liquid softgels - vitamins or supplements. This is good for 60ct to 100ct. Be sure to check the rebate book and the available selection so you can get the right item. There are softgels, liquid gels, tablets, caplets, craplets, and such ;-)
Also free after a $10 mail in rebate is the Green Dot PRePaid Vista or Mastercard card, but beware! These have monthly fees regardless of usage, so only get them if you can't get a regular gift card or other Visa or Mastercard card.
And the last free after rebate item at Walgreens is the One Touch Ultra 2 blood glucose testing system. Limit one free. The rebate is not part of the EasySaver catalog, but rather you have to use the rebate on the box of the Ultra 2.
Rite Aid
And now to Rite Aid! A combined rebate, both the Rite aid rebate and a coupon in the coupon section of the Sunday paper will magically convert the Mach 3 disposable razors into FREE (eventually). It's a $3 coupon and a $3 rebate. You will receive the $3 Single Check rebate from Rite Aid after you submit your March 2008 rebates and of course the coupon discount will be applied right away.
The good thing with the Rite Aid single check rebates is that they can be submitted online, and there's no need to xerox and mail receipts and forms and such. How 20th century! Do it all online! Well done Rite Aid!!!
Also free after a combined $6 Single Check Rebate and a $4 coupon from the Sunday paper coupon book is the Gillete Venus Embrace green razor for dramatically smooth skin. Limit one item for coupon purposes. Five bladed are included in the package.
And this concluses our freebies segment. Did we miss anything? :)

eBay slashes listing upgrade prices for March 1 and 2, 2008
eBay sellers, eBay is running a special for you! The listing upgrade prices have been slashed! These are not the standard listing prices, but prices of listing upgrades, things like the "Value pack", "Featured Plus", "Picture Pack". If you don't know what these mean, you are probably not using them.
If your listings are just the basic with the minimum fee required, you won't save a thing. But if you do usually pick extra listing features, you may get some nice savings.
Also, this could be a good opportunitey for you to experiment with these new features at a discounted prices. More details at eBay.com.
