Did eBay get rid of the auto relister feature?

attach files and click "Manage attachments"
and upload a low resolution file.

Just tried but dont know how.

When you make your listing, its the.section directly after the bit asking you if you accept returns.
It say automatically relist one more time if item doesnt sell :-)

Mine works on all my accounts but instead of relist 3x it is now 2x auto relist. It changed about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Can't imagine why they would change it though.

yankee · #11 12-14-2014

I see.

So I am sure there is other and better methods, but email the pic to yourself, then open email and save file and then upload from your download.

I am not sure if all mobile devices work exactly the same way. I only use apple mobile devices.

Yep did that. Its when i select the choose file part...the screen starts bouncing about. Just a normal android i have.
Sorry OP....cant do it. But its definately under the part where you state qhether you accept returns or not. Just before you click the button that says... list item with displayed fees
Sorry i wasnt able to do it :-)

Thanks for trying but I found the reason why I am not currently seeing it. Here's what I found out. "Relisting your item automatically isn't available for 1- and 3-day duration listings and Good 'Til Cancelled listings." Again ty for trying to help, much appreciated!

It used to be relist for FREE and it wouldn't go against your monthly allotment of listings if you opted in but now it's relist 2x but each relist will go against your monthly allotment of listings. On some of my accounts it used to relist 30 day BIN/BO for free but now it costs $0.30 to relist BIN/BO if there isn't a special for free listing fees on BIN/BO (I prefer BIN/BO). I have a lot of free listings per month on my account that has a store attached but most of my accounts don't have stores. Hope this makes sense!

No one seems to be saying this, but from what I've seen on here, it is not recommended to do the automatic relist. You will get less views every time. The only time it's even worth re-listing the item in the first place, is if you have people actively watching the listing, which will send them an email that you re-listed. Otherwise, make a NEW listing or at least "sell similar" .

john007 · #18 12-15-2014

Lesser views? Can you elaborate?

If you keep relisting, you'll end up lower and lower in the search results. Ebay creates search results for people based on " best match". The best match is the fresh listings. The more times you relist something, the more ebay sees that as a listing that isn't very popular, and therefor goes to the next page of search results.

Where did you get your facts?

On this forum? And simple logic.

You do know what " best match" is right? How do you think they come up with who gets on the top of the list?

Relist SOLD items or unsold items with lots of watchers.
