I would like clarification of the new duration defaults shown below specifically Fixed price listings defaulting to Good Til Cancelled.
Duration: Auction-style listings will now default to 7 days, and fixed price listings to Good 'Til Cancelled, with no added fees.
What exactly does this mean when applied to current listings, future new listings and items that I might relist (will I have to go back and change them all to 30 days, will I even be allowed to change them to 30 days or do I have to cancel them and relist?)
What I would like to know for absolutely sure is whether all my current listings at the time of the change are going to default to Good Til Cancelled?
Will I still have the 30 day choice?
When I do a bulk relist, are they all going to default to Good Til Cancelled, and I have to go through and check and change each one?
When I make new listings, will I still have the same options as before, and will be able to select 30 Days?
The reason I am concerned is of course because if listings are changed to Good Til Cancelled, without me knowing it could end up costing a LOT in extra fees.
These detail pertain to a specific listing form only, not all forms of listing. So it would not be the one you see if you're relisting or working with an existing item--you would only see it if you list a completely new item from scratch, and only then if you are a very casual seller. Higher volume sellers will not be presented with this listing form.
OK, so I do not have to worry about existing listing or old listings that I plan to relist defaulting to Good Til Cancelled? Yes or No No. These are handled by a different listing flow, and are generally handled by My eBay/Seller Hub/Selling Manager/Pro.
I'm not sure how you define a casual seller (I consider myself a casual seller) so if in the future I do come across this new form, will I have the option to select 30 days? Yes or No Yes. You will have the option, as I understand it, to view an Advanced version of this listing flow (as is the case with many of our current listing flows) that will allow you to toggle all of the features.
In addition, we would not be able, legally speaking, to suddenly force sellers, without proper notice, to use additional features that carry a cost. So, the features and functions that carry a cost that are "defaulted" in this specific listing form would also be possible to opt out of.
But it would not carry a cost unless I forgot to Cancel it so the onus would be on me. That is what concerns me. That the listing might get changed and if I don't check each one I could end up unknowingly relisting with Good Til Cancelled and not even know it until I saw my invoice. I have not seen the new listing flow yet in person, but we won't be trying to trick anyone. It should be quite evident which features are enabled.
In short, this listing form is geared toward new and casual sellers who are largely unfamiliar with the selling process, and presenting them with the best combination of features to get their item to sell.
I hope that clarifies things a bit!
A bit but as you can see not entirely. Sorry I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed today.
Me too
