Buy it now duration

[lexydoll87]

I just listed two items on eBay as a buy it now but didn’t have the option for duration. It automatically sets to good til cancelled?? I want to lost for 30 days like I always have been. Is this a bug? Please help!

Must be another bug I can set to 30 days or GTC. Your option is to just end the listing manually after 30 days.

@lexydoll87, did you not have the option to choose a desired listing duration *when you were creating your listing* or did you discover the two listings you posted were GTC *after* they were live and you tried to go in change the listing duration, then?

If it was the latter, you cannot revise the duration on GTC listings once they're live.  You have to cancel the the GTC listing and re-post them from scratch.   Duration is not an editable field/characteristc on GTCs once they're posted.

Both. After I noticed they were GTC, I ended them and tried to change it but couldn’t. Even tried to list a different item and same issue

To get more options:

1. In the upper-right corner of the listing form, click on "Change listing preferences."

2. At the bottom of the pop-up screen, click on "Enable more options," then Save.

3. Click on the "Change" link at the far right of the header for the Pricing section.

4. At the bottom of the Pricing section, click on "More options." Then you will see the drop-down menu where you can choose other listing durations for your auction.

I don't understand why eBay calls this the "Quick" listing form!

Are you using the short listing form?  That one, at one time, had no duration and just relisted until you canceled it, as I remember it.........

edit...I bow to a much better answer.

I am having th same problem. I have been on the phone with eBay for over 2 hours and it switched back. Hung up and right back to the old version with no duration. I am so mad right now. I can’t list any of my stuff

You just need to switch from the Quick listing form to the Advanced form, which has all of the duraton options..

[nobody*s_perfect]

To switch to the Advanced form:

1. In the upper-right corner of the listing form, click on "Change listing preferences."

2. Now in the upper-right corner there shoudl be a link to switch to the Advanced form..

The  multi-step instructions I gave in another post above don't work anymore because eBay changed the Quick form, so there's no way o choose a duration for fixed price listings in the quick form options any more.  It's only Good Until Canceled unless you switch to the Advanced form.
