Have the automatic 3 free listings stopped?

For the last few months I have been using the automatic 3 free listings quite a lot. It has been a bonus as 20 per month is not enough.

I had a few listings which finished last night but did not automatically relist. They had only had the one free listing so there should have been 2 more free.

I decided to to trial listing to see if the box at the bottom for 3 free listings was still there. Well, the box is still there but it has now changed to 1 free listing! When did that happen? Have they changed all three free to one free only for all listings??
Has anyone else noticed that?

    I think you are right.

    I edited a listing and noticed it said '1 free listing' but assumed this was because I had listed it before and this was the last time which I did think was strange as I ended everything to go on holiday and was sure this was the first time listing.

    it was only a limited number of sellers that ever had the automatic free listings, and according to the community pages they do seem to come and go a bit

    Been available on mine and OH accounts now for past 12 months. Worked really well until last Sun when a fair number of items on my account didn't relist.

    I did notice when creating new listings earlier this week it had been reduced to one automatic relisting.

    when they introduced the 20 free listings i listed some items using the 1st FLW are it was introduced and i have 3 free relists so went through all the summer listing upto 100 items for free combined with the FLW , it stopped for me last month but i noticed it came back although only 1 free relist on the last FLW

    i am still to use my actual 20 free listings as the FLW are quite frequent

    That's what 'promotional' means, it changes. Not many sellers had the free re lists anyway.
