Recent changes to automatic relisting

[michael_cullis]

For years now I have had the option of automatically relisting a CD or LP if it did not sell the first time. I simply clicked a box. This option vanished this month. I assumed from what I read that 8 free relisting were now automatic and, rather than opt in, one had to opt out. I have just discovered that 100+ of my listings have not been relisted. Is there some procedure of which I am not aware? eBay did not advise of any changes.

I am aware of that, however I don't want to relist all my unsold items. I want them to be relisted 8 times only so there will be items that are shown as unsold which I don't wish to be relisted. This is for purely practical reasons. I have only so much storage space so I can't have my available items continuing to grow in number each month. The 8 options relisted for free option was ideal because it meant that items shown as unsold had failed to sell over the 9 listing period. I will check this morning to see if the 8 free listings option has miraculously reappeared for the second time.

I use a P/C to list and relist items,  and my items haven't been relisting for the 8 times. I spoke to live chat who didn't know anything about it. has anyone else had this problem?

I am having the same problem.

I opted out of the all selling view as its too hard to use. so I need to relist every item separately. takes a long time

I am having the same problem. Ebay know nothing about it.

I have much too many items to relist individually. Back in 2022 I did my best to get eBay to switch me back to 8 free relistings rather than relisting forever, without luck. I am not sorry now as I am selling things which have been on eBay up to two years and would not have sold with the 8 free listings option.

I was just told this by Ebay- The automatic relist option is only available to non-business, new, occasional or lapsed sellers. (Business sellers aren't eligible.) When you're eligible for automatic relisting, you'll see the option pre-selected in the listing form.
