Exactly the same thing happened to me. I lost the majority of my 150 free listings to auto relists before I had a chance to use them. This has happened to me on a previous free listings offer also, so it has been going on for a while.

I do wonder if this is not working as ebay planned it. I have suspected for awhile that the offer is possibly meant to compensate sellers who do not recieve the 3 free relists. This is the only explanation that makes some sense of the way the whole thing works. ( or doesnt work     )

My guess is that like many things on ebay it has not been set up very well from a technical point of view and some people who get the 3 free relists are able to access the offer when it was not initially designed for them. Ebays solution may be to take the relists from the offer, rather than fix the problem that allowed free relist people to access it in the first place.

I realise this is not likely to be a popular suggestion, but just trying to make sense of it all.
