I guess I will jump on this board with a shame on you ebay for not listening to the veteran sellers. Really was hoping for announcement saying due to the response of sellers we are putting the duration of listings back the way they were.
Since the anouncement about GTC I have been reading the complaints from sellers that are upset over having 7, 10 and 30 day duration fixed price options ending and the only choice for duration is GTC forced 30 day roll over. Many of the sellers that have voiced their opinion are sellers with over 10 years or more experienced with selling on Ebay. The ebay people who make decisions should have listened to what these sellers had to say. It perplexes me that Ebay does not bother to listen to the advice of the people that have sold on this platform for years.
Why don´t their opinions matter? Who did it harm to have those choices? People who want GTC durations had that choice. People who did not want to have their items roll over had that choice. Personally it worked well for me to know that I could choose which listings I wanted to roll over and choose those I wanted to end automatically in a specific time frame.
I am coping. I have always been a small seller. I know that I can end the listings prior to the listing rolling over but it is a PITA. It is just the idea that what was working great - the option of choice of duration, is no longer a choice. The people that complained made that clear that we did not want this and the powers that be at Ebay have refused to listen.
