When do your 80% off Final Value Fees eBay listings end?

girlchops

Can anyone see how long the listings from ebay FVF offer of 28/1/22 - 31/1/22  are supposed to last? I can't find it mentioned in the t's and c's nor in my invite email nor messages where the T's and C's say all details are mentioned. Usually these listings last 30days but these are only lasting 28 day for me this time around. 
Would appreciate your input, thanks

Mine says "An item must sell within the first listing period".  I have listed my items as buy it now for 30 days so assume the discounted fees will not apply after the 30 days have passed

i was expecting mine to last for 30 days too but they'll end in 28 days and were only listed today. did yours quote 30 days in your invite or does it state that under the listings?
there was no mention of the days the listings would be live in mine which was also unusual. this is strange

'Applies to final value fees on up to 100 listings. An item must sell within the first listing period. No insertion fees apply. Private sellers only. Offer excludes the 30p order level fee. Other fees, including any international fees, still apply.'

I assumed this meant 30 days but having just looked it is 28 days

I think this is the reason, February is a short month:

Good 'Til Cancelled Listings

When you list an item as Good 'Til Cancelled, it will relist every month on the same day until it's sold. For example, if you list your item on the 1st of May, it will relist on the 1st of June. 

If you list your item on the 29th, 30th or 31st of a month, the duration will be adjusted if the following month is shorter, but will revert to the original day for longer months. For example, if you list an item on the 31st of May, it will relist on the 30th of June, and then again on the 31st of August and so on.

As above GTC listings last for a rolling calendar month so will end on the same date on the next month, where February gets involved that’s a short month, for other periods you get 30 or even 31 days. 

This is because when GTC rolled out as compulsory a few years back when there was a  31 day rolling month you could have your entire stock relisted twice within the same chargeable period once a year. For paid for listings that got expensive and also caught a lot of people out , this way they have only 12 chargeable periods a year.

Thanks everyone for the info. 
I didn't realise it was always a flat calendar month because I've only ever had listings for 28 days or 30 days.

They swapped it to full months quite quickly after Compulsory GTC was launched, you don’t really notice as many months are just 30 days.
