When should I offer a 1-day listing?    

• If you want to sell items quickly in an auction format.

  Note: The 1-day listing option is not available for Fixed Price or Stores format listings. However, it is available for Auction format listings which include a Buy It Now option.

  
  

• If you are selling time-sensitive items (for example, event tickets, airline tickets, vacation packages, tee times, food, etc.).

• If you're a high volume seller listing a lot of identical items. With 1-day listings, you can offer more listings for identical items per week than with any other auction-format listing duration. Currently eBay allows you to list only 15 identical items simultaneously. If you are a high volume seller, the 1-day listing format lets you offer up to 105 listings for identical items per week, compared to only 30 per week with the 3-day listing format.

• If you want to take advantage of event-based marketing (for example, one-day-only product releases).

• If you want to attract more last-minute shoppers during the holiday season. You can schedule 1-day listings as close to the holiday event as possible. This gives you the advantage of being able to mail sold items to reach your buyers in time for the holiday event.

What are the seller requirements for a 1-day listing?

• You must have a feedback rating of at least 10, or

• You must have a feedback rating of at least 5 and a PayPal account in good standing and accept PayPal payments for that listing, or

Can I change the duration of a 1-day listing?

You are not permitted to change the duration of a 1-day listing if two or more hours have passed since you submitted the listing.

How soon will a 1-day listing appear on eBay?

Listings and Gallery pictures are updated throughout the day, so yours will be added at the next update. However, if you've listed or re-listed an item in the past few hours, or changed its title, your listing may not be immediately searchable when using a keyword or category search, until several hours after you've changed it. For more information see, How can I find my listing?

Note: To make your listings searchable at a specific time, you may want to schedule them a day in advance. Although your listings will generally be searchable within 24 hours, for Trust and Safety reasons, there are times when this may take longer.
