eBay

I’m very unhappy with the forced GTC change. I know eBay doesn’t care about my happiness with their changes, as they’ve proved with each change that I’ve asked to opt out of, but I’ll ask anyway.

When buyers do a search and sort by ending soonest, since GTC doesn’t really end unless the seller manually ends it, where do they show up in that sort? Or is eBay doing away with that sort option since it will be irrelevant with their forced GTC? Thank you.

Yes, the listing will show as ending soonest just like any other listing. The first time a listing is published, it will also show as newly listed; if auto-relisted (by Ebay), it will no longer show newly listed (for the next cycle), but I believe it will still continue to show ending soonest, since it is a 30 day count-down, it just auto-renews (unless you manually end it, as some have suggested).

This has been answered innumerable times on this Board. GTCs are treated just like 30 day Fixed Price for purposes of the Ending Soonest search.As a 30 Day listing nears the end of its 30 days, it goes up in the search. As a GTC nears its auto renewal period at the end of 30 days, it goes up in search.

No. Difference. None.

Hope that helps.

If you want 10 day end. Just end it at 10 days.............but you will never get the "ending soonest" lookers without letting it run 29 days. You will get an extra "newest" look when you relist manually but not if you let it auto relist. Its either pay a lot more attention and do a lot more work and lose the "ending soonest" sales. Or do it ebays way and likely pay more listing fees when you get double dipped on occasion or when you lack perfect attention and let one slip.

The whole point is more ebay fees from sellers without doing anything new or spending any money. You will pay more listing fees or you will do more frustrating work to keep from doing it.
