I end listings and sell similar to keep listings fresh and to kick start sales. I noticed that listings that were dated 6/25, 6/26 had not been relisted by Ebay. Usually BIN listings are auto renewed every 30 days. How about yours?
Wonder if those listings were in 'limbo' somewhere?

I can't swear to this but IIRC, auto relisted items keep the original date.
Oh wait...are you saying they DIDN'T auto relist?
I'm confused. May need more coffee.

Yes, Good til Canceled listings renew on their original listing date. Items that were listed on 6/30 will roll over on 7/30, 8/30 etc.
They used to roll over every 30 days. Then 2 or 3 years ago when eBay went to "All GTC", eliminating other options for listing duration, sellers were concerned about the potential for listings rolling over twice in one month (e.g., 7/1 and 7/31) and incurring insertion fees because they used up all their free ones. So eBay simply changed the basis for the rollover interval.
But that doesn't explain why items that were listed on 6/25 and 6/26 didn't renew on 7/25 and 7/26.
Maybe the seller was approaching their listing limit ($) or maybe eBay suddenly decided that the listings were somehow in violation. Once in a while we see posts about longstanding listings that eBay randomly decides have a policy violation.

Nothing in violation, all different type items. Pleanty of listings available for me to add. They just didn't automatically renew on those days. Ebay is having a number of present day glitches.

You are correct. Here is one of my stale ones that I have listed right now.

Can you please post some item numbers or links to listings that were affected by this glitch? I mean the original listings that did not renew when they were scheduled to. Not the relisted ones, if you relisted them.
