Thank you! I need to be sure to end my listings in that case.
@hawaiibeads
May I ask why you feel a need to end them? Are you going to be on Vacation for a month?
I see you have a store and currently have 506, so I'm assuming that you have a premium store (hopefully) which means you have 1,000 GTC listing available to you each and every month included with your store and $.10 for each listing that goes over your allotment. This means that even if the listing falls in a two post month, the most it could cost you for the month (with annual subscription) would be $61.15 or $59.95 plus $1.20 for the overage. If it isn't a month where the listing falls twice, you would have 494 more listings available to you for the total price of $59.95.
If you have a basic store, and I can't imagine why you would, you would be paying $85.95. That's $21.95 (if paid annually) and $64.00 for your overage and you would be paying $.25 per listing for each and every additional listing above the 256 listings in your plan. This means that if a listing falls twice in a month, your monthly fees would be $225.45. That's $21.95 for the subscription and $203.50 for the listings above your allotment of 250.
If you have a starter store..... really bad idea with your number of listings, you would be paying $121.80. That's $4.95 (if paid annually) and $121.80 for your overage and you would be paying $.30 per listing for each and every addition listing above the 100 listings in your plan. This means that if a listing falls twice in a month, your monthly fees would be $278.55 That's $4.95 for the subscription and $273.60 for the listings above your allotment of 100.
So you are either subscribed to the wrong store, or you aren't really thinking this completely through. With a premium store in the best case it costs you nothing to allow the listings to renew, and in the worst case it costs you an additional $1.20.
I know that a lot of people came out gangbusters against GTC and have blamed it for everything from increased fees to Brexit, but if you are using the "right store" for you listings, it is the best thing since sliced bread. There are of course exception for what the "right store" is for sellers who fall between the vast gap of the premium store and the anchor store.... 1,000 to 10,000... which is insane.
I do hope this helped to put things into perspective for you, and perhaps make you re-evaluate your store level if needed.
