Item Sold....but still showing in Active Selling List

[munchkin83munchkin]

Since the change over to 'Good til Cancelled' I have sold 4 items and while perusing my Active Selling List I saw that these 4 items were still showing here.  I had to manually End the Listing to have them removed.

Am I going mad or has this happened to anyone else....or am I looking at this incorrectly?

Go to "Site Preferences" and under "Selling Preferences" near the top, check if you have the "Use the out-of-stock-option" box ticked.

If so, untick it, then click "Apply".

Thanks for that info.....not sure how that chaged to 'Yes'.  Would be good if ebay could know this information. I chatted with them this morning about this and they had no idea what the problem was

Knowing them it's "accidental" on purpose as they must believe that you must have more and this way you are

"forced" to sell those items,(if you then don't have them they can defect you and if you get a few of those they

can start charging you more for being below standard for not having the items).

Win/win for them,

Currently everything they seem to do on purpose or by "accident" seems to only benefit them,(is there a share

holders meeting or similar coming up)?

I guess this is actually a good thing as it forces your cumulative active total to align with your free monthly allotment.

The 0 qty listings should not relist when they roll over but they are still kept in active for the full 30 days as they have already been deducted from your free monthly entitlement.

Just make sure you don't have the out of stock option selected in your account selling preferences.

If you were on 40 freebies per month and used them all, your total active listings should be given as 40 until one of the sold items rolls, after which, the total will drop to 39 and you could add 1 more listing.

I have a few GTC's due to roll in a few days and will be watching them closely (sort your actives by qty to see when your empty listings are due to expire).

We should be getting some definitive advice on this issue on or after the 21st as Feb was only a 28 day month.

You must have a different type of account to the rest of us.

MY active listings show my ACTIVE listings. If I sell one, the number drops. They are not held in 'active' until the 30 days expire. They go when they sell.
