Is it just me or has ebay removed the three free relistings?
It worked for the first week for me, now nothing.
And new listings no longer have the option. Even when I revise the item.
Am I alone, or is this hapening to others?

I've relisted a few things tonight and the box has been there. I've found in the past once I relist so many items it disappears for awhile. I make a note on those listings and go back the next day and revise. It's usually sorted itself out by then.

It was cutting in and out for me a couple of weeks ago. Came back, but now looks like it might be gone for good from both accounts.
No one knows what the algorithm is. Last time it disappeared I called CS and they said i sold too much, but then it came back two days later. I don't think CS themselves knows how it works and I'm not convinced the system is working properly to begin with. Some iIndividuals with very few sales have never had it, other powersellers with large accounts have. There seems to be no logic in it.
I'm a bit stressed to be honest, I kind of relied on those free relistings to be able to have 800 items on the go at once, now once my current relistings end I'll have a max of 200 unless I want to pay insertion fees, not preferable for my market, since they are one off items and selling relies on the right person seeing it at the right time. I've had lovely items take 6 months to sell, and boring items I almost didn't list sell the same day they go up, it all comes down to who sees it and when. So, not sure what that's going to mean for my business right now, I can't just have hundreds of items sitting around in stock, but I want to be listing fresh items regularly. I hadn't wanted to upgrade but I might have to, though, even so, that's only 500 listings for free on the next tier.

Oh, when it cuts in and out I have seen two patterns. The first being, if you see a link to 'list in bulk' up the top of the page, you wont have the relist checkbox available. The second is, if it automatically opts you into business policies it doesn't seem to allow you access to the relist checkbox. You can opt out of the business policies. As for the list in bulk link, I don't know what triggers that, sometimes simply refreshing the page will get rid of it, other times it takes days.

I listed around 20 things this afternoon and the last 6 didn't have the tick box. I went back tonight after listing some more that did give me the box and revised those earlier listings. The box was there when I revised. One I didn't bother revising because someone bid on it less than 5 minutes after I listed it. Sometimes I don't get it back for a few days, but it usually fronts up again at some point.

I've found that when listing if I 'Sell Similar' rather than making a new listing the 3 listings box is always ticked.
I have done this on all my selling accounts and still getting the Free re listings.
