It's now re-list up to 4 times maybe.

[go-tazz]

Just relisted an item on my other ID and the new format came up and it had:

Automatically relist this item up to 4 times if it doesn't sell - it's free to relist. Final value fees apply

If I go to edit it then it goes back to 3 times.

Then on this id I edited a listing to see what would show and it had:

Automatically relist this item up to 3 times if it doesn't sell - it's free to relist. Final value fees apply

It's all on one page now,so it's quicker,it has the business policies on this Id and you can change it to a

private listing if you forget when first listing it.

You can revise another one or just click I'm done now.

So it looks like an improvement that actually works,

The same thing happened to me the other day.

Saw 4 free relists flash, but my fingers were too fast & I'd already clicked finished so thought I was seeing things.

When I went back in to check only 3 relists were coming up & only 3 since then.

Glad to know I wasn't imagining this!  Ebay experimenting or system gone crazyyyyyyyy???

It's logical that they originally offer four free relists and then once you've relisted it changes to three. Until you've actually relisted there are actually four relists but once you've relisted you've already used the first one, so three left. That's assuming you have enough free listings left that the initial relist is free (the first of the four).

It's been 3 relists all day for me. I would find it odd that eBay was generous like that, especially after taking away two free relists from the US site (they can relist once only before they have to burn another freebie or pay an insertion fee, the latter being a fraction of what we pay). Then again, with the almost complete lack of free listing promotions beyond the monthly 40 (aside from the random invitation-only ones that never seem to work for me) you need as many free relists as you can get if things aren't selling!

When you revise a listing it's at the bottom of your Selling Details,(I receive the 40 free listings on both

account as I don't sell a lot and the free re-lists is part of it).

I just put up a new item & scheduled it for later today.

The 4 re-lists came up, so I ticked yes.

Went back in to check & it's now 3. (Just like the other day).

Something is going on with this feature or it's gone completely wacky??

[lotsamagsnbags]

thanks go-tazz - sadly it doesn't appear for all of us... (when revising for me anyway) worth a try tho

As I already explained further up, once you set the listing going you've used up the first of the four relists so of course it'll only show three when you go back into the listing.  If it's only sitting in scheduled it's still assumed to be the same as if it's live.

[lynne8221]

No, that's not the explanation - over the last couple of weeks I've been re-listing hundreds of books & this has only just started happening.

All my other listings done the same way & sitting in Scheduled only showed the 3 relists.

It's somethjing new that keeps popping up & disappearing.
