Selling guitars - ebay alternatives?

As of March this year - the default option is 'good 'til cancelled' - and eBay will not allow you to make a 30 day listing.

I experienced this on Saturday night - listed a few things, and put a reminder in my phone to cancel the listings if they don't sell..

Yeah, the confusing thing is though that “Good Til Cancelled” listings actually “renew” every 30 days, and the higher fees kick in when they do, as you suggest.

All of that's new to me.  The last item I sold I listed 22nd March for 30 days without the automatic relisting option, exactly as I've always done.  I'll watch out for what you're saying when I next list something for sale.

I've had the best success selling on here. EBay was okay and for me gumtree is a waste of time.
