Good til cancelled for Fixed Price listings

[hiney50]

Just tried to relist some fixed price listings and get this warning 'To help you sell your item, fixed price listings can only be listed with a Good 'Til Cancelled duration. The listing duration has been set to Good 'Til Cancelled.' Very poor of Ebay, no prior warning of this change and all they are doing is hoping you forget to cancel and then they get more listing fees thru the back door until you suddenly realise you are paying more fees. They are joining the banking, insurances, etc. industries where they are hoping busy people will forget to cancel and Ebay gain extra monies.

it was announced back in February,

you should read the ebay announcements

Good ‘Til Cancelled in 2019

We’re taking further steps to simplify the shopping experience across all eBay sites. The only listing duration for all fixed price listings will be Good ‘Til Cancelled from April 2019.

• Find out about the Good ‘Til Cancelled change

private sellers now get 1000 (yes that's correct one THOUSAND) free insertions every month,

you are very unlikely to go over this amount so you won't be charged any extra fees when the item auto relists.

it was announced in Feb and the policy came into force on 1st April

GTC for 30 days and automatic reslist

If seems that you do not pay to list and if you have any free listings left when the item relists after 30 days then it will be free

If you do not list many items then you should not have a problem with this

If you listed a lot then you would have to watch that you had not run out of Free listings when your items relist or you would be charged

The difference with Fixed Price and GTC is that there are no short listings on GTC

You would need to use auction if you wanted shorter listings
