Advice on relisting BINs

glossy123

Apologies if this question has come up before - I have had a look and can't find anything. If you have a multiple item BIN on eBay and they don't all sell, when the sale ends they always invite you to relist. Can anyone tell me what happens with the fees? If I sell one or more will the relist fees be refunded as they would be with a normal auction where if you sell the item the relist fees are refunded? I put my item on with gallery pic and Featured Plus so it is quite expensive, and it would be really good to relist and get it free by selling another few!
Any advice gratefully received!

I'm not sure if you get a free listing if you have sold some of your original items. But I'm pretty sure it is only the listing fee returned anyway. ie you would pay again for the gallery photo and the featured plus either way.
Someone may correct me on that.

If you relist from a multiple BIN where some were sold then you receive no relisting credit at all. You can double check this by going through the relist screens and before you click to confirm the relist it will tell you whether or not the item is eligible for a relist credit.

Be careful with Featured Plus, they are increasing fees sharply in a couple of weeks. In my opinion they are a wate of time, far better to start say 5 auctions finishing on 5 different nights

Also don't forget that where a relist credit is available it only ever covers basic listing fees, not any of the extras.

Yes when I was first used ebay I thought that the whole relisting fee, including gallery etc, was refunded. I also thought a "5p listing day" meant that was what you paid to list an item full stop . But I have learnt that 'what ebay giveth they also take away'

Thanks for all the help guys, I thought it was too good to be true! Interested that you think Featured Plus a waste of time, Pascali. It certainly makes it quite expensive to make a listing. Do you think highlighting is worth the extra cash as an alternative to make the listing stand out?
