Do Wallapop Listings Expire? Everything You Need to Know

Do Wallapop Listings Expire?

Yes, Wallapop listings expire automatically after a set period of time. This is a very common question among sellers, and the answer is key to understanding how the platform works.

What Happens When a Listing Expires?

When your listing reaches 60 days without activity:

1. It disappears from search results - Buyers can no longer find it
2. It moves to "Expired" - You can see it in your profile under the expired products section
3. It is not deleted - Wallapop keeps the listing so you can reactivate it
4. You lose ranking - Even if you reactivate it, you start from the bottom

Why Does Wallapop Expire Listings?

Wallapop implemented this listing expiry system for several reasons:

• Keep the catalogue up to date - Prevents items that sold months ago from cluttering results
• Improve the buyer experience - Buyers only see "fresh" products
• Encourage activity - Sellers need to interact with the platform regularly
• Compete with similar platforms - Ensures relevant, current content

How to Stop Your Listings from Expiring

Option 1: Renew manually before the 60-day mark

Wallapop will send you a notification when your listing is about to expire. You can go in and "reactivate" it manually, but this does not push it back to the top positions.

Option 2: Edit the listing

Any edit (changing the price, description, or photos) resets the 60-day counter. However, it does not improve your position in the results either.

Option 3: Repost the listing

The most effective approach is to delete and repost the listing. This not only prevents expiry, but also places you at the top positions.

Can I Reactivate an Expired Listing?

Yes, Wallapop lets you reactivate expired listings from your profile:

1. Go to your profile → "My items"
2. Filter by "Expired"
3. Select the listing you want to reactivate
4. Tap "Relist"

Expiry vs. Ranking: What Really Matters

Listing expiry on Wallapop is only half the problem. The real challenge is keeping your products visible and well ranked.

A listing can be "active" (not expired) but virtually invisible if it hasn't been reposted in weeks. On Wallapop, the publication date is the most important factor for appearing in the top results.

That's why professional sellers don't wait for their listings to expire. They repost them continuously to always stay at the top.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wallapop Listing Expiry

Does Wallapop warn you before a listing expires?

Yes, Wallapop sends a push notification and an email when your listing is about to expire (usually between 3 and 7 days before the 60-day mark). You will receive the alert in the app and at the email address linked to your account. If you have many listings, these notifications can arrive in bulk — which is why it's better to automate renewals with MitikLive instead of waiting for the alerts.

Do Wallapop PRO listings expire too?

Yes, all listings expire after 60 days regardless of your plan. Wallapop PRO offers additional visibility (featured placement, statistics, etc.) but does not remove the expiry limit. The same 60-day deadline applies to all users, from private sellers to professional shops.

Do I lose my favourites when a listing expires?

Not immediately. Users who saved your listing as a favourite will see it marked as "unavailable" while it is expired. If you reactivate it (by relisting it), it becomes visible again and those users will be able to see it once more. However, the reactivated listing will appear as "newly published" and will lose its history of favourites and previous messages.

How quickly does Wallapop deactivate an expired listing?

Expiry is immediate once the 60 days are up. There is no grace period — as soon as the 60 days pass, the listing stops appearing in search results and is marked as inactive in your profile. That's why it's important to renew before reaching that limit.

Can I reactivate an expired listing at no extra cost?

Yes, you can reactivate any expired listing from the "Sold/Inactive" section of your Wallapop profile. Reactivation is free, but uses 1 MitikLive credit if you do it through the extension. Alternatively, you can do it manually from the Wallapop app at no cost, though it's a slower process if you have many expired listings.
