	What to consider Changing the duration Seller requirements for 1-day listings Listing times

When you list your item, you can select the listing duration for 1, 3, 5, 7, or 10 days. If you're using the fixed price format, you can also choose a 30-day or Good 'Til Cancelled duration. For items listed in eBay Motors Vehicle categories, the 10-day duration is not usually recommended.

You can list items at a starting day and time you choose—up to 3 weeks in advance. You can create your listings at your convenience and control the time they start and end.

What to consider

Your buyers: Many buyers watch items for a while and think about them before placing a bid or using Buy It Now. So a longer duration may be to your advantage.

Shipping time: If your item is related to a certain event (for example, a ticket for a concert or a holiday gift), you should choose a listing end time that would give you enough time to ship the item to the buyer before the holiday or event takes place.

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 listing.

Seller requirements for 1-day listings

For a 1-day listing, you need to meet one of the following requirements:

• Have a Feedback score of 10.

• Have a Feedback score of 5, have a PayPal account in good standing, and accept PayPal as a payment method.

• Be ID Verified.

If you don't meet one of these requirements, you won't see the 1-day option when you list an item.

Listing times

Start time: When you create a listing, your item is listed immediately, unless you use the scheduled listing option to start it at a later time.

Note: We can't guarantee exact listing durations because there are times when your listing may not immediately be searchable when using a keyword or category search, until several hours after you created it. You can always find your listing by item number or through My eBay.

End time: Listings end in whole-day increments from the listing's start time. For example, if you submit your listing at 1:14 PM on Sunday and select a duration of 3 days, your item will end at exactly 1:14 PM on Wednesday.

Note: Fixed price listings and auctions with the Buy it Now option end immediately when a buyer commits to purchasing the item.

Time zones: Listing times on the U.S. eBay site correspond to the local time in California, which is Pacific Time. Pacific Time is 3 hours earlier than Eastern Time. For example, if it's 3:00 PM Pacific Time, it's 6:00 PM Eastern Time.

Daylight saving time: Daylight saving time (DST) involves moving the time forward one hour in the spring and moving it back one hour in the fall. Listings that run during the daylight saving 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.
