How long listings stay live
Every listing has an expiration date, set 90 days out when the listing is created. (Some accounts have a custom listing duration — the same rules apply, just with a different window.) Expiration dates keep the marketplace fresh: buyers can trust that what they see is inventory sellers actually still have.
We'll remind you before anything expires:
Email: when listings on your account are within 30 days of expiring, you'll receive an email letting you know how many are affected.
On the site: when a listing is within 5 days of expiring, a warning banner appears on that listing's page with a Renew listing button. You'll also see a banner above your listings table when viewing expiring inventory, with a Confirm all inventory button to renew everything at once.
How to extend the expiration period on a listing
Any of these resets the clock:
Renew it. Click Renew listing on the listing page (or Confirm all inventory for the whole batch). This extends the expiration date by three months and keeps the listing live.
Update it. Editing a live listing — price, quantity, any detail — automatically extends its expiration by three months. Keeping your inventory current keeps it active.
Upload a fresh stock list. If your inventory has changed substantially, uploading a new stock list is often easier than renewing line by line.
What happens when a listing expires
The listing's status changes to Expired. It's removed from the marketplace, buyers can no longer find or bid on it, and any open bids on it are cancelled.
Reactivating an expired listing
Expired listings can't currently be renewed from the site. To get that inventory back on the marketplace, re-upload it as part of a stock list, or contact us at [email protected] and we'll reactivate it for you.
