If you've got active listings where it's still showing up, try using sell similar on those for the unrelisted items and see if that helps. Don't forget to copy and paste your description so you don't have to rewrite it.

oh, i have given up, just changing as many as i have free listings for to 30 day fixed price.

wait and see if its still like it next month.

thanks for all the suggestions forum junkies.
