GTC for 31 days

[meekamag2]

Some GTC listed in latest promo from 29th - 31st are showing as having 31 days until expiry, rather than the usual 30. Any ideas as to why?

Noticed yesterday that all listings done on the promo on 29th had the extra day added. 

TIA.

And I just did one that is ending in 28 days and 23 hours, and 2 aren't showing at all. Looks like February and leap year has their techs well and truly confused. 

I'm confused too.

Don't know whether to keep listing or not, as freebie promo ends tonight and I have to finish up soon. Gotta love ebay. At least it keeps it intereesting and keeps us guessing!

You may as well keep listing because you can always end them at the end of Feb. If they roll over on 1st March they may not roll over again until April, like when they first adjusted all the dates and some listings got an extra long cycle.

@ dave, all my brand new listings (all three) and my rollovers on the 30th were showing over 30 days left this morning. Seems it works differently for different sellers.

It's a leap year, Feb has 29days this year, sending all automated calendars out of wack!

 It's Y2K - but this time it's real!

(I noticed this, too: stuff I listed yesterday showed up as listed earlier than stuff from the day before, and stuff I listed today (31st) showed up as listed later than yesterday's, but earlier than the day before. Which is when I gave up trying to make sense of it.

This is using the 'view by recently listed' option.

Just so long as they still show up as new listings in people's saved searches, I don't mind too much  Hopefully it's fixed now (after midnight))

My listings are all over the place and totally out of the order in which they were listed. But at least most of them listed. Now I have to find which ones didn't.

Couple are missing.

So I just did 3 new listings and they're showing as having 28 days and 23 hours.

Methinks some people are going to get stung in March.

Why? That's 2nd March. One month.

I think mine were 30 days because I was looking for them at the tail end of my listed items page, then saw they had dropped in further up with a shorter duration

[davewil1964]

They are one calendar month. Anything listed on 29, 30 or 31 of January will rollover on 29 February.

Hopefully they will revert to 29, 30 and 31 of March. That's what happened in November - 30 and 31 rolled over on 30 and then in December they went back to 30 and 31.
