Actively listed items in unsold

I converted 48 listings from GTC to auction.  The first time I selected the items and tried "Change to Auction Style" the bulk editor hung, never displaying the list of items.  After about 15 minutes I cancelled the process. I then re-selected the same list of items and selected the menu option.  This time the list displayed, I updated pricing, etc and successfully submitted the listings. 

 

The next day I happened to go into the Listings - Unsold and was surprised to see those 48 listings showing in my unsolds.  I never ended them, they didn't sell, they just appeared in my unsolds (as GTC).  If I hadn't noticed I might have relisted them and had no end of frustrations when items sold more than once.

 

I saved three listings for review, but axed the rest to avoid mistakes.

Hi @dtexley3, the 'Change to auction-style' feature ends the fixed price listing and creates a new listing with an auction format, essentially changing the fixed price listing to be an auction. The fixed price listings should appear in your Unsold section since they are no longer active, while the new auction listings will be in your Active section.

Hmmm, I did several smaller batches prior to this one and one more 40+ batch after and only this one appeared in my unsolds....
