Expired items still in shop

[FelinesFabricFriends]

I have 6 items I did  not renew on Feb 28th still active in my shop. I do not use automatic renewal, I manually decide whether to renew each item. In shop manager they each say "expires on Feb 28th". They did  not expire as they were supposed to and I was not charged the 20 cent fees. I have never seen this glitch before, in over 9 years on here.

@FelinesFabricFriends   That is strange; weird the listings reactivated on their own, especially since you have Manual Renewal.   I'm glad you weren't charged the relisting fees.  There have been a lot of glitches and I don't know if this is one of them. 

Hope someone else jumps in with an idea about this.  Wish I could have been more helpful.

Here is another post about this from a few weeks ago

@OwlAlwaysKnit   Thank You.  I just found that Thread and was about to post it.

It happens a lot on the 28th of February.  They will eventually expire and will have to be renewed or not as you want.  Until that time you are getting extra value on your 20 cents, so why worry about it?  In another thread someone said they had a couple that hadn't expired in over a year.

I also have some listings that have not expired and are still live, I only have manual renewal and do check on a regular basis that they do not change to auto renewal.

I figured out how to reset them after some expired listings were staying active, some after 2+ years. I put my shop on vacation mode overnight twice in one week. So turn vaca mode on, turn off next day, turn on vaca mode again and then turn it back on. All those weird confusing listings from 2022 went into my expired folder. Although it was nice having some free listings up for a while, it was also very confusing for what I had in stock. Now I have more control again.
