When/How do BIN listings renew?
This might be a dumb question, but last time I knew the answer they just renewed every 30 days.
I thought that was changed to them renewing once a month, but as February has only 28 days, how do they renew if I started them on Jan 29-30-31? Do they just renew at the beginning of March?
On one of my stores I'm trying to keep to my limit and a lot of listings got put up on the 30th of Jan, so I'm needing to know if they'll renew in March because that will affect my total free listings for the month of March.

·6 months agoPer eBay's listing duration help page:

Good ’Til Canceled Listings
When you list an item as Good ’Til Canceled, it will relist every month on the same day until it’s sold. For example, if you list your item on the 1st of May, it will relist on the 1st of June.
If you list your item on the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a month, the duration will be adjusted if the following month is shorter, but will revert to the original day for longer months. For example, if you list an item on the 31st of May, it will relist on the 30th of June, and then again on the 31st of August and so on.

·6 months ago@inhawaii Yes, they will usually renew the same date each month. So the same listing could renew anywhere from 28, 30 or 31 days depending on what month it is.

·6 months agoGreat question BTW.
So i'm still confused.
Does a listing that started February 5th end on March 5th -or- does it run for 30 days -or- something else?

Notice how February was skipped. January and May had 2 listings.
For the past 5 years, listings renew on the same day.

·6 months agoThe way I do is try not to list anything after the 28th of the month,

·6 months agoThey usually will go up for as many days as the next month. So items ending now will be renewed at roughly 31 days since March has 31 days. However, items that end/renew today may see some delays or minor discrepancies as eBays system is currently having to end/renew all the items that would normally be done for 29th, 30th, and 31st on top of items for February 28th. It happens every year and usually will resolve itself within 24-48 hours.
