Help please with deleting and uploading my stale GTC items

[vintagenorth]

After having to put my stores on vacation for over 2 months, while having surgery, I have come back to some stale items. I need to end, revise and re-upload lots of items.

If I end items about to renew tonight, do I upload the revised items today or wait until tomorrow or do I have to wait until next month? I don’t want to go over my 250 store listings.

Thanks for any help!

Did you get the current 500 free listings promo offer?

Then there will be no penalty to end any listing and redo  (as long as done by Aug 16).

...

If no promo:

Any listing that ends later this month Aug 11-31 can be safe to end since it has not been relisted this month. Any listing ending Sept 1-10 has already gone against your August allotment and would be more cost effective to just revise.

...

If your total number of active listings on August 31 is 250 or under you will not go over your September allotment.

Hi Dennis, I list on .com mostly and these are my .com listings so no peomos for them. I have listings ending and renewing each day. Am I correct in thinking that I have to end my listings each day before they renew and then wait until next month to relist them?

Just re-read your reply. Seems as if I have been away from eBay for years instead of a couple of months.

So Its okay to end and relist items that have not yet ended since only my relists will count against this month’s 250 listings?

thanks for your help!

Yes. If the item has not renewed this month, ending early is okay.  Only when you relist does it count against the monthly total.   Part of ebay's switch from 30 day GTC to monthly GTC (conversion happening in July/August this year).

...

You also have 250 monthly listings on .CA to match those on the .COM side.

In my case I'm selling primarily on the .CA side, but have one slow moving type of product on  .COM that is a good fit for GTC (and uses up most of my free monthly listings without much effort).
