Non-auction single Buy It Now listings are "Good 'Til Cancelled"; i.e. the listing stays live until it is purchased or it is cancelled by the seller. The listing will simply renew every month until one of those things has happened; this includes a fixed-price BIN listing with Best Offer enabled.

You can create an auction with a 7 or 10 day duration and add a "Buy It Now" price; is that what you were trying to do?

Hiya

Yes can you do that on a 7 or 10 days? Would i need to cancel & relist to do this.. on an auction with added buy it now does the auction have to start at 0 ?

Thank you

Yes.

You should be able to select "Change to auction" from your active listings. Click the three dots in the "Actions" box to do this.

No, you can start the auction at any amount you want to. Just make sure you use a starting amount you would be happy to accept and do not set a reserve price.

also -

you can have an auction which also has a buy it now price; and

you can have an auction which has the best offer option.

But you can't have an auction with both the best offer option and a buy it now price.

The link should work - note that eBay were having issues yesterday: Manage active listings - eBay Seller Hub

That link should show all your active listings.
