    HI - the last time I was absent for a month I wanted to close my thousands oflistings. I found out how to do this OK but when I restarted them they all restarted and ended at the same time which is absolutely useless. Does anyone know if it is possible to suspend the listings and to restart them with the original different ending times?
    I have found this to be the one failure on the delcampe site and when i did write in about it they said that it made no difference if they all started and finished at the same time !
    Any help as to how to do this would be appreciated
    kind regards

    The vast majority of your listings are fixed price. I don't see what difference it makes whether they end all at the same time or not.

    Unlike other auction sites, the default browsing setting shows recently listed items first, so there is no need to spread out your ending times/days to get more exposure by showing items that are ending soon.

    HI
    Thanks for your replies they are appreciated. I just thought that if buyers are looking at auctions as they end or auctions ending that day - it obviously is better that you have 5000 items spread out as you have 5000 items visible at some time during that week as against just for the 1 minute or so if they are all listed together. You are right most of my listings nowadays are fixed price because to be honest there is little competitive bidding in stamps generally. That I understand as items are continually relisted as compared to other sites.
    Kind regards

    Hello,


    When you restart sales, we respect as well the ending time, as the duration you choose when you listed your items.

    So, if you choose a duration of 7 days, and you restart your sales on a Monday, they will finish on a Monday.
