Just a quick question... how many times do you all on average relist an item before giving up and thinking 'I'll just take it to the tip!'.... Does there come a time when financially its not worth relisting? I don't quite 'get' the relisting fee structure. I think I'm just being a bit thick....

:hello:
Anyone have any advice please? Thanks in advance

I just keep relisting, but I think when I have achieved my goal anything that is on it's 100th time around lol might just go in the charity bag. I am finding things are selling after a few weeks of relisting anyway for some reason. People's needs and wants change I guess.

yeah I keep relisting too and after a few good times i give up and send it to the charity shop. Quite a few things i've sold this week are items that have been relisted several times before so it's worth relisting a few times

Guys help needed, I have some stuff that should go for a good price, but I am wondering whether to leave listing till after the bank holiday weekend?? anyone any thoughts???

Many thanks

It's likely to be seen by more people over the bank holiday weekend so i'd list before.

I guess my reason for asking about how many times to relist is just due to whether it's actually cost effective. I thought you only got one free relist if it didn't sell or have I got that wrong?

I'm just thinking that if you have to keep relisting a low price item before it actually sells then it could have cost more money to sell it than it sells for .... Maybe I've just got this all completely wrong.... I really hope so because I'll then be entering into a relist frenzy!! :j

i think the first relist is free and you pay for the rest so i guess it isn't really cost effective to keep relisting items. certainly low cost ones anyway. Its really just up to you how many times you relist an item. i have a limit of about 5 with low cost ones as after that i just get fed up and want rid of it

St0lli i relist higher value things probably 4 times - 2 of which will be the free relist (listing fee back if it sells) - on the second go hit relist to get it free then on the third time hit the sell similar and it'll be a new listing fourth time hit relist and so on. I might do more if it has a watchers in case they didn't get a chance to bid. After that i'll probably leave it on turbolister and try again in a month or two or else if i just want rid i'll start it at 99p

Remeber it's free to list 99p or under so many of these items i just keep relisting until i'm fed up with storing it, sometimes they will go up £3/4 even if they previously havn't sold at 99p - it's so werid! If you have the space may as well keep banging these items on until you get rid of them!
