Attn Ebay sellers; look at this early message I got.

For me, the problem with this is I prefer not to use the GTC listings despite their obvious convenience.. I have 15K listings that I relist once a month(I typically list as many new items as a I sell a month, so the 15K listings are different each month). Relisting every 30 days allows the 15K returning listings each month to show up as new listings not as a stale old listing which is what happens with a GTC listing. In my experience, new listings sell quicker than old listings as some users sort their searches from new to old to catch the latest FP listings.

FWIW, about 5 years ago, I started relisting each item monthly (yes, it takes a little extra time a few days a week) instead of using the GTC listings. My sales increased by 10% that year and have not slowed since. Seems as though when an item is relisted buyers are under the impression it is a new item which helps to sell quicker.

With this change, my only option now, to achieve the same results as having each listing end monthly and to relist, is to manually end each listing and then relist....this change will now create more work on my end to have listings appear new.



Seems like yet another ebay decision that is going to be counterproductive to my sales or cost me more time. Go figure.
