30 day listing affecting sales

bowler_cat — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 09:17:50 GMT

Since ebay insists on a 30 day listing for buy it now, I have found that my sales are way down on last year, has anyone else found this, I did a lot better when you could list for 7 days with BIN. would just like your thought or experiance if this is the same with you. Thanks.

You can still list items for auction for a 7 day period and add a Buy it Now if you wish.

It's always cost extra to do that. Adding a Buy it Now to an auction listing is called a optional listing upgrade it has always had a 50p non refundable fee if used.

In my humble opinion, a waste of money, as it also disappears wheh the first bid is placed, and the sale runs on auction style, the 50p still payable.

Are you perhaps thinking of Buy it Now items and adding a Best Offer? That doesn't cost extra, but it is now listed Good Till Cancelled. Just cancel the listing if you don't wish it to carry on for a calendar month , and then it would relist., at no extra cost if you have free listings left to use..

You can add ‘ make an offer’ to BIN or auction without extra fees

As you are making things to sell you need to upgrade your account...
