Some listings are auto renewing in less than 4 months.

I have noticed lately that a few of my automatic renewing items are being renewed in a less than 4-month time frame. I thought I was losing it, but today a Christmas apron renewed, and I listed it in early December FOR SURE. I was just curious if anyone else has noticed this. I really don't expect this issue to go away...just frustrated.

Never heard of that happening unless you sold one and still had inventory and had it set to autorenewals. If so, it automatically renews the item when one sales. 

If you are concerned, just switch it to manual renew.

Thanks for your reply. I live in Nebraska and attend Farm Auctions, where they are literally selling the farmland, the tractors, the home and whatever is inside. I won a bid of vintage Christmas items, at the end of October, my focus on listings was first the mercury glass ornaments, Santa/Snowman figurines, and other ornaments. Those were the items I wanted to list asap. The listing that I fear was renewed too soon was a Christmas apron, the soonest I would have listed it was late November-Early December and was auto-renewed on 2/19 I have nearly 1000 items in my shop, switching all to manual renew would take a LOT of time, but yes, I'm working through my settings.

If you edit the listing it will show the original listing date at the top left, just under the title.

If that date is less than 4 months ago it does sound like a problem.

Thank you for your Brillant response, checked the original listing it was November.

Was it this listing for a single item?

The last renewed date on the customer side shows Feb 19 2025, so I would expect the original listing date to be around October 18 or 19. 

[CatherinesAtticFinds]

Yes, on my end it was listed on 11/1/24. Thanks so much for your help.

@CatherinesAtticFinds  Did you want to change all of your listings to Manual Renew? If so, go to listings manager > check the small empty box > click Editing Options > Change Renewal Options.  You'll want to keep the date on a calender if and when you reset to Manual.
