Items listed as Good Until Cancelled Not Given Full 30 Days?

[smiles1012]

So I ended and resisted 31 items this afternoon. For some reason they seem to have come up shorter than a full 30 days for their time. 

If you look at the attached photo, the last 2 items were listed yesterday. The items above them were listed this afternoon. Why do they have less time? Or am I just confused? 

Thanks!

Good until canceled listings used to roll over every 30 days. But starting last July, they now roll over on the same date every month.  When a month doesn't have enough days to do that, the listing will just roll over on the last day.  Listings with a rollover date of the 30th or 31st of the month will roll over on the 29th of February, and then will resume their normal dates in March.  Listings that you start today will roll over on February 29, March 31, April 30, May 31 etc.

Listings that you started yesterday afternoon will end in the afternoon of Feb 29.  Listings that you started today in the morning will end in the morning on Feb 29.

Thank you!

I was thoroughly confused. That makes sense.

@smiles1012  that's because items are listed by calendar month and not 30 days.   Ebay changed this a little while after GTC started so that sellers were not charged listing fees twice in the same month   

So now listings run for 31 days in some months and only 28 days in February
