Inactivity
Keep listings active and visible.
How the inactivity timer works
Every listing has an inactivity timer that runs for 60 days from your last action on it. If nothing happens, we email you a warning around day 60 and a reminder about a week later. Around day 70 the listing is hidden: buyers no longer see it on the marketplace. Hidden listings are permanently deleted after 30 days of being hidden.
What resets the timer
Any of these puts the counter back to 60 days:
- Editing the listing or changing its price
- Using the Confirm availability action on the listing
Bringing a hidden listing back
Use Confirm availability on a hidden listing to put it back on sale. It becomes visible to buyers again right away, and the next inactivity check restarts in 60 days. We always email you before anything changes, so watch for the warning messages.
