I do not want my item relisted if unsold, how do I stop this.
In addition to the information that has already been given, if you do not want your items to automatically relist then make sure that you never list anything using the Buy It Now format, as eBay have changed the Buy It Now format so that anything listed that way keeps on relisting indefinitely until such time as the seller decides to remove the listing or somebody commits to purchasing the item. Therefore, if you don't want items to automatically relist then make sure that you only ever list items for sale using the Auction format and ensure that the "Automatically Relist This Item If It Doesn't Sell" function is disabled on the listing. You'd be far better off using the Advanced Selling Form rather than using the bog standard form, as you have far more control over your listings that way, although as has already been said you may well have to log in using a computer or a laptop as opposed to using the app to create your listings. If you create a selling template using the Advanced Selling Form and make sure that the first listing you set up using the Advanced Selling Form has the Automatic Relist function deactivated then when you save that listing as a template for you to use when listing any similar items all of the presaved information will automatically carry over to the new listings, including the Automatic Relist function being deactivated.
Although you can choose which options to include and exclude when you set up the listing and save it as a template for selling similar items, if at some point in the future you change your mind and decide to include something that wasn't originally included, or exclude something you included originallly, then you can make the necessary changes manually prior to listing the item for sale. You can do this with any of the Item Specifics fields in the event that you need to make updates to the template.
For future reference, when starting a new listing, to turn off automatic re-lists you need to use the Business/Advanced listing tool. Not the Quick one.
You may have to switch to the Business/Advanced listing tool from the Quick/Standard one, and you may have to use a laptop/PC, not a phone or the app.
Ignore the message that it is for high-volume sellers, anyone can use it.
You just clear the tick box on the form.
The tick-box is just below the Returns options section on the form I looked at.
Everything you need to know about selling on Ebay, including how to turn off auto-relist, is in the Seller Centre (link at foot of any page). Though you shouldn't have to go there, as the dropdown menu beside each listed item gives you all the options you could possibly need.
use the drop down menu next to the live listing you can turn off the auto relist there
