Why are automatic scheduled relistings starting at vastly different times than originally set?

[oliveandhazel]

Recently when scheduled listings on auction items automatically relist they have been relisting at different times.  I schedule my listings to start at 8.pm EST and they end at 8pm EST and then automatically relist at 8PM again.  However when they are  relisting now it can be any random time, often in the early hours of the morning or ending hours apart. I have a friend who has exactly the same problem.  We have not changed any settings and all was working fine for the last year or so.  Anyone who can help?

I too have noticed some of my items that automatic relist are starting & finishing early in the morning???

I list most children’s clothing on a weekend, they will start mid to late morning.

When listing women’s clothing l always list them to start around 9.00pm & it’s a few of these listings that are finishing around 9.00am.

So somewhere between the listings ending & being automatically relisted l/we are losing time.

It’s almost like the automated listing function is losing us around 12 hours for listing’s that start around 9.00pm & finish around 9.00am.

Hi, yes this is an issue but looks like there is nothing to fix it. I was sent this thread from a community member that shows it is a change in ebay policy. https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Selling/Re-lists-and-Timing/m-p/2581220
