Come across this line when i was in changing a postage in my auctions mainly the b.i.n.articles.
(Note: Your listing duration may have changed.
Durations of 60, 90 and 120 days are no longer available for Stores Inventory format. If your original listing used one of these durations, please review the new duration before submitting.)
anyone else seen this.

Agate - they announced a few weeks ago that since few people ever use those options, they were eliminating them. I think your options now are Good till sold and 30 days.

Thank you. i did not hear that. When i go bush to my mines i like to load my store with a lot of b.i.n. and i like to have them up for 60 to 120. days. so i know there is nearly always something up there. 30 days is not enough. and good till sold has to be renewed every 30 days . so far as i know. unless they have changed that too.

I have mine as Good Until Cancelled. They automatically renew. I don't have to do a thing.

Agate,
You have it correct. You do get charged again and again and again.

With gallery, it's all of $.03/month. If three cents a month is enough to kill my business, I shouldn't be in business.

Agate - the only difference is that now you pay in installments.

cblev65252 It has nothing to do with being too expensive. your right $.03 an month is nothing. i just wanted to know what i was up for. like all of us, i have learnt to question and check anything the ebay does or says. as i said before , when i go mining i like to list b.i.n. articles for about 120.days. that way i dont have to worry about getting back to list more so soon.
it seems that quiet a few of you are using good till cancelled. so i dont have a lot of choice if i want to list for a time.
thank you for all yout imput everyone. appreciated.

I think where eBay is making their money on this is the gallery fee for the store.
Before when you listed your store item for 60 - 90 or 120 you were charged right away for the monthly listing for each month plus ONCE for the gallery....for instance....a 90 day listing would be $.02 x 3 plus $.01 for the gallery for a total of $.07 for 3 months.
With the 30 day or GTC change they are now getting $.03 a month each month for a total of $.09 for 3 months.
For every 100 items in your store it will cost you an additional $1.00 a month.
It's a hidden fee raise for stores...make no mistake...eBay is making out big time.

Wow - no more 60, 90 or 120 day listings in US & Canada. Makes sorting out all the optional fees so much easier!
For those that want to streamline their eBay store fees even more - visit Froogle and start listing your website inventory (it's free).

Two things please.
First, for those who use GTC listings, how long do they show up in your unsold items in Post Sale? At all? And are they shown as relists or Copy?
Well, three things. How do you do this thing with froogle?
Thanks!

Double whammy.
German and Austrian store fees raised 100%. I'm still collating changes, but I believe some other eBays have also raised store FVFs too.

Beth inquired: How do you do this thing with froogle?
Pretty straightforward. Go to Google, click on Froogle, open account, upload data in tab-delimited (or other) format, and PROFIT!

Thank you. I did go over there and they have an excellent explanation of how to upload your file. I appreciate the tip on that one.
