About a week ago my automatic re-listing up to 3 times disappeared.

 

Can someone please assist me with an explanation as to why my re-listing up to 3 times disappeared.

 

When I tried to get a satisfactory answer from eBay, they told me, as I am now a "Power Seller" I am not entitled to it.

 

I assumed only Businesses were exempt from the automatic free listing.

 

eBay informed me I am better off with being a "Power Seller", however I disagree with them, given I deal in Collector Stamps selling my surplus from my Hobby and sometimes the "ongoing insertion Fee" is costing me more than the value of a Stamp. Further, I don't really know what a Power Seller is or what additional Benefits I am getting. It just appears to be costing me a lot more and I don't see any additional yBuyers.

 

Bottom line, how do I get back to basics, in a simple manner.

 

Any suggestions,

Thanking you in anticipation.

As far as I know the 3 automatic relists was a limited time promotion for new/small sellers to help them get a foot on the selling ladder.

Once you become a Power Seller you are not longer entitled to the subsidies that small sellers enjoy.

 

You need to price your stamps to take into account the fees that you now pay.   The only way to avoid fees is to keep within the free listing limits that all sellers are entitled to.  You could always start a second ID to take advantage of the free listings on both accounts.

 

Or if you have sufficient stock to warrant it you could open a basic store to get the very low listing fees.
