    If you are running auctions then a 28 day duration is far too long IMHO.

    Just imagine you are the bidder - do you really want to wait four weeks for an item to finish? Most buyers want the items they bid on and win quickly.

    It would be far better to run 7 day auctions and renew 99 times. Here the most any bidder would have to wait for an item to finish is a week. Thus you should hopefully gain more bidders on your items. If the items run for the 99 weeks and do not sell then I suggest you withdraw them for a while and perhaps list them again after a decent interval. The you may get interest from new Delcampers and even 'old' ones.

    If you run 'Buy it nows' then this is immaterial

    As you are a gold member you can use the "multiple changes" options to change the number of remaining relists, thereby avoiding any listings ending.

    As far as "your items at the bottom of the list" is concerned: list regularly and when potential buyers find your new items, they will browse your store and hopefully find items that are of interest to them. I still get regular sales from items that have been listed for well over a year, but I add new items on a daily basis.

    You're welcome.
    Now try and increase your number of listings on a regular basis to get more exposure and hopefully your sales should pick up.
