Fixed price listings renewals as Good til Cancelled

The way this would really work is if it stayed listed until it sold without doing a renewal. I have items I trade out from month to month so I can incorporate new items in at various times. The automatic renewal of fixed price listings isnt for every...

I set up flat rate shipping in my store and its not working. When people buy more than one item from my store, they are charged $2.95 for each item instead of $2.95 for the whole order. I put the info correctly in shipping preferences but read that I...

Subject: Good ‘Til Cancelled -- BAD POLICY

I am very upset about this new change from 30-day Fixed Price to Good 'Til Cancelled (GTC). It will create much hardship on me having to now manually end my huge amount of listings (300+) each month just to prevent the listings from getting automatic...

Regarding GTC (good til cancelled) orders. Here is your new strategy!

For those who are on budgets and are outraged (like I am of discontinuing the use of 30 day listings), this should be your new strategy. And stick to it, cuz it will help balance your budget. Once you reach you limit of however many things you want t...

Are bonus free listings gone now too?

I have a basic store subscription which gives me the 100 listings a month. Every month ebay runs at least one promotion that gives me extra listings. This month nothing. Is this going to be the pattern going forward or this a random thing? I really c...

Seller News Team

Now I know for sure eBay doesn't care about its sellers. Just tried sending them a message & they don't accept messages. No wonder they are losing sellers left & right. I just might be next!

Native American sterling bracelets

Wouldn't you know it! Not one size fits everyone. I collect native american sterling bracelets. Some are too tight for me, and some literally fall off my arm. I have found not everyone selling these bracelets is aware that size is crucial when buying...

GTC just started

For me it started just a few minutes ago. "To help sell my item" Terrible idea, policy, etc. What does one do if after 1 month instead a fixed price listing they wanted to use an auction listing for an item?

It Was A Good Run

Five days into GTC change...I'm sinking fast!

I have sold exactly one item, in five days. I'm just a tiny seller, but I generally sell about $200/10-20 items a week. It's pretty consistent, or it WAS. I used the 5 & 7 listings. Now I realize that if(and its a big IF) I can struggle through the f...
