i want to find out how many listings I make in the current month which includes GTC and listings I created and ended manually. is there a place i can quickly find out what that number is without having to look into multiple areas and adding and subtracting it all?

basically I want to know how many listings above the free listings amount did I use for this month so i can compare if upgrading my store is worth it.

If you use the seller hub, you can see your monthly usage under promotional offers. I have a basic store. You can see the amount used vs the allotted amount.

If you use the old style seller page, scroll to the bottom. This is from another of my accounts which happens to be dormant at the moment.

If you are relatively new to posting GTCs, this will be very informative. But for those that have been doing GTC for a longer period of time, it doesn't work easily. You can't tell which currently running listings will double list in a month due to the 30 day renewal period. Some from time to time a GTC will require two of your available free listing allotment. To my knowledge there is no easy way to see this right now.

Now in May Ebay has said they will be released some kind of a resolution to this concern, but for now we still need to deal with it.

Doing that only shows how much of your free listings you used up. I want to know how many listings that were also created and renewed after the allotment is used up. For instance with your first photo, what if you ended up listing and renewing a total of 325 listings in that month. That photo will only end up showing "Used/Left: 250/0". Where would you find out about the other 75 listings you renews and created without having to go to multiple areas and adding them up? A basic store has 250 free listings a month. A premium store has 1000. The price difference per month is $38. And insertion fees for listings with a basic store is 25 cents. So I calculated if you list a total of about 402 listings a month, the price of either store ends up being the same. If you list over 402 listings a month, it's cheaper for you to upgrade to a premium store. That's why I want to find out how many listings a month do I renew and create. Anyone know?
