relisting

[dorakym]

So things have changed.

Listings are not relisted when sold automatically anymore.  When a listing ends unsold you have to manually relist.  So this means you no longer have 300 listings available to you as relisting reduces that number.  If you change your listing time to 10 days from 7 days I need to relist an item 3 times in a month so therefore with 200 listings I can only list 100 of them twice (20 days out of the month at 10 days each) and 100 of them once a month (20 days out of the month at 10 days each).

Before anyone says pay then, please note I am not a business.  First, I lost my mum, then I lost my partner, and my sales are not a business and only about 10% sell within the first or second listing, the rest wait until the right buyer comes along which can take a year.

Why has this changed happened to penalize us.  Doesn't Ebay want us to sell?  I'm confused.

Auctions are only relisted for new sellers and then only for a short time.

Use  Buy it now they automatically relist and are not included in the free 300 listings.

Read what ebay says https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/listings/creating-managing-listings/relisting-items?id=4147&st=3...

Ebay considers 300 free listings per month are more than adequate for Private Sellers.

You could consider listing your items as 'buy it now' with a fixed price, rather than auctions.

Most clothes sellers do use buy it now rather than auction.

Buy it now items automatically relist for free after 30 days.

This would probably work for you if some items take a long time to sell.

Items listed as BIN are taken off your free listings when you initially relist them so you could consider doing this at the beginning of March.

Thank you.  I had thought you have to pay for BIN so had not tried that again
