You can choose from two listing types when creating a listing:

You are selling a unique or a very rare item
Your item is in high demand and selling very fast
You are unsure of what price to set for the item.

With the “Auction-Style” listing you can choose a listing duration of 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 days. If the item is not sold during that period, once the period expires the listing will be moved to “Unsold” section of your account.

Fixed Price listings are the simplest and easiest way to set the price of items. Under this listing type buyers can make and act upon a purchase decision right away.
The default duration under Fixed Price listing is set to Good ’Til Canceled. This means that your item will be relisted on eBay every month until it sells or until you end the listing.

Every listing that runs out of stock is, by default, automatically ended
If you will be regularly restocking your listed items, then we would recommend you enable the “Out-Of-Stock” listing option.
If this option is enabled, instead of an out of stock listing ending, it will be “hidden” i.e. it will not show in buyer’s search eBay, until you update the listing to confirm that it has been restocked.
Not only does this help you save time and save your sales history, but it also ensures that you do not end up selling items that you do not have in stock.
You can enable the Out-Of-Stock option at
My eBay > Account > Site Preferences > Sell Your Item Form and Listings > use the Out-of-stock option
