Default Ebay classifieds

Can you still advertise your car as a classified ad for 28 days?

I've tried to list my car but it only seems to give me the option for the 10 days.....

Is that how it is now?

10 days is probably on auction setting as that's the max on auction setting, you need to change from auction to classified listing in the settings when doing ad and then it will change it

I had selected fixed price (the only other option was auction) and the maximum time was 10 days, I tried again last night and it was still the same.

I'll try again, this was on the iPad but via the website and not the app.....it won't allow you to use the app for selling cars.

Yes agree won't allow app for listing cars, but I just tried it via iPad app for a normal item and it worked as above.
I'll check via website to try sell a car as well to confirm as that's wierd.

You're right, will only let you list for 10 days now for vehicles , that's rubbish!
But I believe there's no final value fee anymore on cars like they used to be, so it's just a list price and that's it which has made it better as before you would have to pay a silly amount on fvf if the car sold for like thousands etc.
So a straight £10 listing fee seems fair

Pretty sure yeah, they got rid of final value fee on vehicle listings ages ago when it was about £30 for the 30 day listing which I thought it still was until you posted and in fact it's changed now to 10 day listing for £10 so theoretically same price just means you will have to relist every 10 days.(probably better if car sells quick)
But just double check when finalised listing as normally they state 'if item sells then the final value fees occur' or words to that effect when listing normal stuff, but that's free listings now, they just charge the FVF when sells.

They always changing rules, so my declaration is, don't blame me if different lol

You can list your car for 28 days when you pick the 'Classified ad' option. The default option is 'buy it now' which has a max of 10 days. I listed mine last night using a PC on the proper eBay website, I didn't use an app.

I used the website and it never gave me that option, too late now as I've listed it.

After the 10 days I'll try again via the laptop. I listed it via the website but on the iPad.

It never gave me the classified option once as above, just auction or fixed price.

Right I've Sussed it, when listing in top right corner it says switch to advanced version etc, click that. For some reason default seems to be on quick listing option hence no extra option like the 28 days classified (don't know why it's set that default tbh as I've used it in past, must be when they update site)
Picture below shows that I've switched to advanced listing style, then I can switch back to quick style listing



And now can use the 28 days classified option for £14.99 fixed price instead of the rip off £10 for every 10 days.

That's good, they're robbing *******s.

I stuck it on for the 10 days but when I list it again I'll do it as a classified ad for the month.

Cheers
