Expired listings and how to bring one back

Every listing runs for 30 days. On day 30 it becomes Expired and leaves the public feeds. You can renew it for another 30 days, up to three times, and after that you post a new one.

What expiry does and does not do

• The listing leaves browse, search and the home feeds.
• Nothing is deleted. The photos, description, price and its message history stay exactly as they were.
• It stays in My listings, labeled Expired, and you can filter for it there.
• It drops out of the public feeds the moment its 30 days are up, because every feed filters on the expiry timestamp rather than waiting for a status change. A daily sweep then relabels it Expired, so the label can trail the disappearance by up to a day.

Jinu warns you three days before it happens, by email and by push. The row is Listing expiry warnings, in Settings under Marketplace, Notifications, with a separate switch for each.

Renewing

Open My listings, open the listing, and renew it. It goes live again for a further 30 days from the moment you renew, keeping its URL, its photos and its saves.

The renewal limit, precisely

Three renewals. The limit is measured against the day the listing was first created, not against how many times you have pressed the button: a listing can never run past 120 days from creation, which is the original 30 days plus three renewals of 30. Try to renew past that and you get told the listing has reached the maximum number of renewals and to create a new one.

Bumping does not extend the clock and does not buy you an extra renewal. Neither does editing.

What renewing will not do

• It will not republish a listing that is held or removed. A listing under review, deleted or awaiting payment keeps that status; renewing only pushes its expiry date out. Approving a held listing is a moderator's decision, not a renewal.
• It will not work while your account is suspended.
• It does not refund or re-charge a publishing fee. Renewing a paid listing does not cost again.

When to post a new one instead

When you have used the three renewals, or when the item has changed enough that the listing is no longer accurate. A fresh listing is also the right move if the old one collected reports: it starts clean and it gets a fresh 30 days plus three renewals of its own. Do not run both at once. Duplicate listings for one item earn Spam reports.

If it sold, mark it sold rather than letting it expire. That takes it out of the for-sale feeds immediately, tells anyone who saved it, and, when you name the buyer, opens the confirmed deal that lets the two of you review each other.
