1-day listings are normally used when you want to sell an item quickly and an item is time sensitive, such as concert tickets or vacation packages.
When to offer a 1-day listing
Offer a 1-day listing if:
You want to sell items quickly in an auction-style format, including listings with a Buy It Now option.
Note: The 1-day listing option is not available for Stores inventory listings.
You're selling time-sensitive items (for example, event tickets, airline tickets, vacation packages, tee times, food, and so on).
You want to take advantage of event-based marketing (for example, 1-day-only product releases).
You want to attract more last-minute shoppers during the holiday season. You can schedule 1-day listings as close to the holiday as possible. 1-day listings give you the advantage of being able to mail items to reach your buyers in time for the holiday.
Seller requirements for 1-day listings
You need to meet one of the following requirements:Have a Feedback score of at least 10.
Have a Feedback score of at least 5, have a PayPal account in good standing, and accept PayPal as a payment method.
How soon will a 1-day listing appear on eBay?
Listings and pictures are updated throughout the day, so your listing will be added at the next update. However, your listing may not be immediately searchable until several hours after you've added or changed it.
To make your listings searchable at a specific time, you can schedule them a day in advance. Although your listings will generally be searchable within 24 hours, there may be times when it can take longer.
Changing the duration
When 2 or more hours have passed since you submitted the listing, you won't be able to change the duration of your 1-day listing.
Increasing the visibility of your listings
You can increase the visibility of your 1-day listings by meeting the guidelines for Best Match. You can also promote your item with listing upgrades to make your listing stand out from the crowd.
The fine print
1-day listings are not available for eBay Motors Vehicle or Adult Only categories in the U.S. or Canada. For safety reasons, some items may not be eligible for 1-day listings.
Listings that run during the daylight savings time change will still receive the full amount of exposure. For example, if you have a 1-day listing that you start at 1:00 PM Pacific Time on Saturday, it will end at 2:00 PM Pacific Time on Sunday.
