Steam Market listing expiration?

[Angelpichu]

How long does it normally take for a listing to expire and return the item to your inventory? I remember seeing a few expired and returned items before in my history, and was curious. I know I can manually de-list, I'd just like to know when Steam decides my item won't sell at its price and returns it to my inventory.

I don't think anyone knows for sure... a quick Google came up with this answer of 236 days:

He's wrong though. I had stuff that I'd listed on September 1st that also expired on March 13th - a little less than 200 days. I'd guess that they stay up indefinitely unless the market starts getting clogged up with long-term, unsold listings... then Steam step in and run a script to cancel them.

Do they return to your inventory?

Why wouldn't it go?

If something you post on the market expires... You might as well just keep it, turn it to gems, or sell it for a lower price and take the slight loss.

Listings expire after 180 days. I listed around 30,000 cases on the market around 6 months ago.

I've sold 13,000 & have had to re-list all the other ones.

I have listed some items in March and they show listing expired and never got them back in my inventory. Is there a fix for this ?

[попробуй, подойди]

it is 6 months exactly, i just had 2 items return to me (March 1st), and i checked when i posted them, it was August 31st.

I have stuff at minimum that was listed last march 8th.

i didn't even know that market things can expire, to be honest. first time i hear that.

my stuff is up there for ages sometimes

what if you buy something in the community market, will it expire in your inventory?

most items = no
some items do expire, but that will be shown when viewing the items. during the major sales events, there are cards that only last for a limited time after the event, the expiration date and time is displayed when viewing the item

Ive had listings from mid july 2020 (200 days ago now) return to my inventory, these were mainly grafitis that were listed at £0.03

But what would happen if your inventory is full?
