things are a bit differenet since i sold items on there. but i always had good luck listing for 7 days. to me that's more than enough time to have a listing up.

as for listing in multiple catagories, it depends on what it is. when i sold some out of print and hard to find ludwig artist promo posters, i would sometimes list them in music memorabilia and the drum section.

for say...drum parts, i'm a bit annoyed when people list small bass drum related parts like a screw in the bass drum section. i don't want to scroll thru 5 pages to get to what i'm looking for.

as for galleries, i don't know how they charge for those now, so no comment.

Blair when I used ebay, I would always list items like kits and singles in both the Vintage drum category and the regular drum section. That way, the kits and orphans show up in searches in both categories. Give yourself the best chance and the widest possible audience for your wares. 7 day auctions is also good advice from drummerfish.

Hey drummerfish - you old enough to remember this tune?

"Fish heads fish heads,

Roly poly fish heads,

Fish heads fish heads,

Eat them up yum!"

LOL For Dr. Demento fans!
