Fixed price = Forced Good till cancelled
 

In order to help you sell , Fixed price listings are now good till cancelled only.

F eBay. So tired of their "Oh we're here to help you" moniker.

But yea, so it begins....


I might even just start doing BIN for 1 day and put the auction price at the fixed price and the buy it now price at 30%

When does this come into effect?

Re: Fixed price = Forced Good till cancelled
 

I don't understand why this matters unless you're trying to skirt Vero issues.

All I do is fixed price listings because no one pays when winning an auction so I've only done BIN for the last 10+ years.

Bump in search from listing type and duration

Re: Fixed price = Forced Good till cancelled
 

All depends on what you sell.

Re: Fixed price = Forced Good till cancelled
 

It matters because I don't want to be buried.

Seems like you have experience skirting vero issues? =)

Re: Fixed price = Forced Good till cancelled
 

LOL I DO HAVE EXPERIENCE SKIRTING VERO SO this sucks

Re: Fixed price = Forced Good till cancelled
 

Already in effect in my account.

Re: Fixed price = Forced Good till cancelled
 

I "skirt" issues by listing my Vero stuff to the letter of the eBay law. I got warned once in 2006 because of Bose and did my research. Never had an issues since.

I'm ambivalent on GTC tbh

Re: Fixed price = Forced Good till cancelled
 

Haha. He probably means auctions with a BIN option.

Re: Fixed price = Forced Good till cancelled
 

Sells are way down F**K THIS Good till cancelled. I made more money with the 7-10 day buy it now.

Re: Fixed price = Forced Good till cancelled
 

I agree, eBay will soon realize that forcing the GTC listings is NOT what sellers want. It's just another driver away to other platforms for many.

Not like they care, their stock has been pretty much stagnant (in the $30-$40 range) the past few years anyway.

Re: Fixed price = Forced Good till cancelled
 

I have noticed a drop in sales since GTC. Have you guys tried ending your listings and relisting them to see if they show up more or higher in the search results. Huge pain in the ass when your running alot of listings that end on different days.

Re: Fixed price = Forced Good till cancelled
 

You guys are trippin about GTC, Set and forget...perfect for stealth. you just need to know how to work the algorithm.

It appears they deleted my comment. Par for course lol

Re: Fixed price = Forced Good till cancelled
 

Etsy has no auction,all fixed price,and it is going to place all listings on auto renewal.
If you dont like it,you can cancel the listing manually before expiration date.

Re: Fixed price = Forced Good till cancelled
 

So how does 7-10 day listings help w/ vero again? just curious :-)

Re: Fixed price = Forced Good till cancelled
 

In and out before eBay knows what hit them. :spy:

Listings with short lifespan are driven to the top of the search. Same reason your listing seem to climb when it is about to end.
