30 day listings

[jerseysandtherest]

I am a hobby seller and just listed a couple of items. The drop down menu for sale duration included a 30 day option and then I also got to tick auto list 3 times. Anyone know whether this is a new feature option or just an Ebay glitch?

I can't find it. Is it in the drop down box where you select the no of days for the auction?

is it just for new listings ir is it for relists and sell similar's as well?

Sorry for all of the questions.

yes it is in the drop down menu for the number of days. However 30 days and good til canceled is for fixed price items not auction.

Interesting - works for new listings but not available if you go to revise.

Be careful with GTC,  They roll over every month and is counted as a new listing. Thats with a store, so if you only get 40 listings and have used this lot of 100 GTC you may find you have no listings left, next month and paying.

That's why I always use the 30day with free listings, even when I had my store, as it was getting confusing when getting near the 200 listings.

Also if you have a store with 30 day you can go over your 200 with no listing fees.

Worked for me on relists.

The option was available whilst editing.

I will ask for a clarification with customer service in the morning, the way I read it it should work the same way as the previous 100 free listing condition, where they rolled over in the new month but you still had 40 free listings alotted which did not impede in any way.

Hi, I am just talking about the GTC. and the month is from the day you list them, not the calender month.

you will still get your 40 at the beginning of the month, But if you have any listings with GTC when that month is up, they may come off them.

of course with Ebay, they seem to change the rules like the weather.

Hi dave,

Yes was working on re-lists, just not on revise. Haven't tried yet today so don't know whether it's still working or not.

I have a nagging feeling that this is going to blow up in our faces somehow - hope I'm wrong!

Just got off the phone, you can list 40 free listings per month, so if I have 400 listing limit available for the account and I list 40 per month without selling anything I will reach my selling limits in month number 10 without any problems.

I wonder if they're working towards getting rid of auction style listings by encouraging BIN for 30 days and 3 auto re-lists?

Very strange that there's been no trumpet blowing about the 30 day option.
