Many of you have probably received e-mails this week from Twoshirts telling you that some of your items have expired. You may not know that when you post an item at Twoshirts it is automatically assigned a term of 2 months, after which it will be set to "inactive" and removed from the active listings (although, it will still appear in your "My Items" list).

We've established a timer so things won't sit here in the listings forever. We want Twoshirts to be a fresh and active place to give and receive gifts to each other. But, that means you'll have to decide what to do about the items that expire.

If you still want to make it available to the Twoshirts community, you'll need to make it active again. To do so, just click on the link provided in the e-mail. Below you can see how it appears in my inbox "(edit Kids Snow Pants"):

Once you click on the link to edit the item you'll be taken directly to the editing panel - unless you're not logged-in, in which case, just login and you'll be taken there. Once you're there, look for the "Item Status" drop down menu. If it's already set to "inactive," all you have to do is click on the drop-down menu and select "active."

Now, that's all you really need to do. Just scroll to the bottom and click "submit," and the timer will be reset to expire in another two months. But what if you don't want it to remain on the listings for two months? What if you need to get rid of it in a week? Don't worry, there's a way to do that.

Scroll down until you see the "manage Item Expiration" box. There's another drop-down menu here that allows you to select any expiration date within the next two months. Just choose the date you want, click submit at the bottom, and you're done!

Thanks!
