I generally use auto renewal; I was changing some listings to manual when I discovered I had 100's of listings expire on the same day Aug 4. Chat was no help.
Were any or most of them caught up in the glitch 4+ months ago when Etsy finally fixed the problem and expired the listings that never expired or auto-renewed when they were supposed to? Did you have to manually renew that many 4 months ago?
I would imagine it was part of that glitch. 21 pages @ 36 per page is 756. I don't care how good you are, how fast you are, or what super method used, nobody can list 756 listings in a day!!!!!
@TheVintagePineapple , yes some of these listings were indeed part of that glitch, but I have MORE now than I did in April. Some listings I KNOW I did in May as I can tell what month it is depending on what flowers I have from my garden in the listing pics, I have yet to count, but I have many listings that are not set to expire in August in this grouping set to expire. Not to mention some of the items have sold since April, so I should have LESS expiring on Aug 4th not more.
That is part of the glitch correction in early April. You had more listings caught in that than you realized. Etsy made a mess of that including which listings were auto renewing and which manually renewed.
I have listings that I did last week, last month also set to expire on this same day.
Yea, I just found a listing I did LAST week set to expire on Aug 4th
