Automatic Relist Option 'Missing' During Item Revision

Bigun28

A bit of a strange question.

I normally build up all my eBay ads in eBay Turbo Lister, because I can link a number of photos of the item from a remote server without paying eBay’s additional costs for extra photos. It also allows me to have all the ads ready to go at the click of a button when eBay have their Free Listing days.

The only problem with Turbo Lister is that there doesn’t appear to be an option for automatically relisting an item one time for free. So each time I have uploaded an ad, I then go to revise it on eBay and select the option manually to automatically relist one more time for free, and have been doing so for the past year selling my items.

I put a load of items up last Sunday and noted that the relist option was there, but I left it until mid week before I had time to go through manually to select the option. It was then that I found that the option to relist has now been removed. I contacted eBay who now say there is nothing wrong with their system and the option probably wasn’t there for me in the first place, at which I pointed out that I had been using it for the past year.

Has anyone else noticed that this option has recently disappeared? You can normally find it when you go to revise your item and it should be a check box on the last page just above the Submit Revisons button.

I asked about the same thing 2 days ago but no one responded.

I don't use turbolister or anything like that. Weird thing is that some of my relists do have this option but the rest don't. Before Christmas I had this option on all my relists.
For the time being I am just relisting whether it has the option or not and will worry about it next time. It is a bonus to have this option.

Yes me, mine was automatically relisted without my knowledge, so I went in to turn it off and couldn't find it..

The free relist option was a special offer, some people and some listings have it, others don't.

incidentally OP there is no need to self host photos now unless you want to, you can have up to 12 for free.

Thanks for the response. I've had the free re-listing option ongoing for quite a while. Originally it was 3 free re-listings per item, but about a year ago it switched down to one free relisting and was that way until mid this last week when it disappeared altogether without warning.

I've just put a new listing up and noticed the auto relisting tick box wasn't there. Like the OP I used to have it for 3 re-lists then it dropped down to one and now it's gone.
