Automated reply was entirely incorrect.

The buyer that first bought to car on eBay was determined to visit the car before paying anything which was not possible.
It says ‘Relist now’ and when I try, it then states: You cannot edit, relist or sell similar Second Chance Offer listings.
It also says: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sh/lst/active?action=summary&status=BIDS_RESERVE_MET
It was last listed at £320.
I still have not managed to get my money back from eBay to my bank and the car is in limbo.

The last two later bids on my re-listing appear to have disappeared.

I still want to re-advertise the car without being charged again, how do I do that?

I still have the item: Ford Focus Ghia.

Have I made some mistake in what I have done?

If I have made a mistake what is it and how may that be corrected?

Exactly what do I do next.

I really do not understand your question. You have a car for sale with two bids! It has not been sold as the auction has not ended so where does Relist or Sell Similar come into it.

Before a buyer can see your car they have to BUY it. They then come and inspect it including paperwork, and if happy they pay in cash. If not what they want, then you agree to cancel, and get the selling fee of £25 refunded. The listing fee is not refunded and if you relist you have to pay again.

If you end early as you have bids then you still will be charged £25 (The minimum selling fee).

"The buyer that first bought to car on eBay was determined to visit the car before paying anything which was not possible."   The buyer in any case would be quite right to insist on seeing before paying. That was weeks ago, so far to late to recover the selling fee as you only have 32 days to open an Unpaid Case.

You have gone about this all wrong, I have no idea what an automated reply actually said, but I doubt it was wrong. You may have asked the wrong question.

You are just accumulating a lot of fees, as listing fees have to be paid each time and selling fees are charged on each sale and you have to complete an Unpaid case to recover these if not paid but you are out of time.

"I still want to re-advertise the car without being charged again, how do I do that?"

You can't relist it is already listed!
