Why are items not relisting 8 times? My items only stay up 1 week

Listing of 7 days are supposed to relist 8 TIMES this is not happening. The items I listed last week have not automatically relisted. This is continually happening and is so frustrating and time consuming. I did phone up and query this but it is still happening. Can someone explain why? I feel like giving up on eBay after 15 years the system is a mess.

Have you checked a listing to see if the toggle switch for auto relisting is switched on?

It may have something to do with the following clause for auction-style listings:

 

'Keep in mind that the automatic relist option is only available on listings created by new and occasional sellers. The option will not show for other sellers.'

Some of the new items I listed last week relisted, some of them didn't, I didn't do anything different with them, there is something obviously with the system.
Can you look into my listings and explain exactly how to prevent this happening . It is a nightmare.

It is also annoying that when relisting the P&P that was initially listed is removed, requiring it to be re-entered this taking more time, why?

Automatic relisting/good-'til-cancelled is only universal for everybody on Buy-It-Now type listings.

 

I think your issue is because of the reason sml192 has posted - for auction style listings the auto-relist option is only available to new sellers or sellers who only sell occasionally.   I would think your recent listing/selling history has taken your account profile beyond the criteria that qualifies as an occasional seller, and therefore your listings have reverted to having to be manually relisted. 

 

With regard to the P+P, if you had listed the items without using ebays 'Simple Delivery', it may be that your account has now been brought into the fold of Simple Delivery being mandatory, so your previous P+P arrangements will have been removed.
