When listing for 30 days is NOT 30 days, just a rant.
Summary: keepsakesandkollectables expresses frustration with eBay's listing system. They describe an issue where listings set for 30 days do not end consistently, sometimes resulting in days with no listings. They note discrepancies between the expected duration and the actual time listings remain active, attributing this to months with varying lengths. The post concludes with an acknowledgment that the rant is over.
So I suspect there are many out there that do the same & list every day for 30 days ( The amount ebay allow ).
So why oh why oh why oh why oh why, every month do ebay mess it up.
I mean 30 is 30, it's not 29, it's not 31, or 32, it's 30.
But every month near the end on on the day the month changes my listing do not list in a nice order.
No take today for example, yesterdays listings now have 29 days to run as they should, but when Ilist todays its not 30 as you would expect if you list for 30 days, its 32 !!!!!!!!!
Meaning I now have a 2 day gap with no listings & as the days go by, ity means at the end of the 30 days there will be no listings ending on those days.
Now I know the months vary, as in 28 days, 30 days, 31 days, but if you, list for 30 days, why can't ebay get it right.
RANT OVER, THANK YOU.

OP1 week agoAlmost forget, why did ebay stick to theis rigid format of only being able to list for "x" amount of days on B.I.N / B.O?
I mean call it my OCD if you like, but I like to list / group certain items together, for example if I am listing lampshades, & the ones that are currently listed have say 14 days to run & I have another to list, why can't ebay allow me to list that one for 14 days, so it fits / groups nicely with the others already listed,.
It means I either have to list it for 30 days, which is 16 days out of sinc with the ones already listed, or wait 14 days for those listing to end ( If they don't sell ) to allow me to then list them as a nice group.
It would make life so much easier, as then I can also look at my listings & see what I am short of in acertain catagory & purchase more of that type of item to top up.
Pesronally I think a seller should be able to list for any amount of days from 1 to 30.
Another rant over.
