• Many buyers watch items for a while before placing a bid or using Buy It Now, so a longer duration may be to your advantage.

• If the item is a holiday gift or tickets for an event (such as a concert), make sure the listing ends with enough time to ship to the buyer before the holiday or event takes place

For a one-day listing, you must have a Feedback score of 10, or if you have a PayPal account and accept PayPal as a payment method, a Feedback score of 5.

You can't extend the listing duration if two or more hours have passed since you submitted the listing.

Durations of more than seven days may incur a fee and change some upgrade and insertion fees. Your listing fee subtotal appears in the “Your fees so far” section at the bottom of the "Create your listing" form and again under “Review your listing."
