Starts sometime on  3- 18

Listings started before that date remain set the way they were. They are not GTC unless you choose it.

I’m thinking tomorrow is the last day to list & be sure not get put into GTC.

well, off topic, I got the offer on one of my non store profiles. I used it already to run 156 auctions. In my primary store, I did not get it, and frankly, kind of salty about that. Almost doesn't pay to have a store if you want some free insertions.

I read the fine print because I wanted to make sure I was not going to get charged a listing fee for the category I wanted to list in. I did not have the impression they were going to be GTC listings so long as GTC is not the only option for listing. My understanding is that the GTC is rolling out on Monday so I assume if you list for 30 days tomorrow the items you want listed you can avoid the GTC issue.

GTC. This is Monday March 18, 2019.  I still see no official announcement that it is live; however, some say it is now default.  I have no listings to test since I closed and relisted all mine last night for a 30 day swan song.  Really cr@ppy way to run a business (both mine and eBay!).

I just started a new listing from scratch, and I'm still seeing all the regular options for the durations of fixed price listings.

Just start one of them half a day before the rest.

On the day that the first one expires, check to see if it automatically relists.

If it does relist, simply end the other 199 listings so that they do not relist.

Maybe eBay wasn't happy with me ending listings today and selling similar with the free additional 200 fixed listings.......  I got halfway through relisting and the "fixed 30 day option" disappeared.  Suddenly I got a banner at the top saying it was changing the listing to GTC.  So much for the options through midnight tonight......

Oh my!

In the middle of listing (the 200 promotion) and all of a sudden, I get the dreaded banner that says GTC is the default. I'm done with eBay. The type of product I sell doesn't warrant a store, or listing GTC. 19 years and $100K in sales. Done... Thanks eBay!

Started for me (with store) today around 5pm EDT

[km181177]

This is going to be such a pain in the a$$.  I see NO benefit for eBay to be doing this.  I hope it really affects their profits.

Same
Earlier had the 30 day duration, just did a draft & no longer there it's GTC or nothing 

[danny1376]

This is ridiculous. Where do we complain?

[kelli29349]

Your only option is good till cancelled if you relist anything fixed price. I called ebay, they said there is no way to override it and no other options. I am not happy. This is my business, I should be allowed to control my listings. When they don't sell, I lower the price or send to auction, they took that option away. They need to change this back and now. I don't know what idiot came up with this, but we had the good to cancel option we could use if we wanted, they actually told me this would make it easier for me. I'm looking elsewhere, this is a big over reach.
