Automatic relisting

Hi

I have noticed that when I get emails from Ebay when my items haven`t sold they offer you two options- either to sell at a lower rate or to make changes myself.

I have noticed if I do the latter then the box with automatic relisting ( up to 7 times with fees) is automatically ticked

So now I ignore reminder emails and just update my listings making sure this box is unticked.

Anyone else noticed this?

    I've had it when revising a listing it checks the box for people to "Make Offer", didn't realise till I started receiving offers on my items.

    Really? I've seen emails from eBay suggesting you sell cheaper but actually offering to do it for you with cheaper selling prices?


    Taking a broad view, there's something a bit sick about eBay writing to your comepetitors suggesting they sell cheaper and then writing to you suggesting you sell cheaper than them in turn.

    No you misunderstood. Ebay had automatically ticked the automatic selling box |( up to 8 times) which incurs fees.

    You can now turn the automatic relisting off.

    Go to your live listing and there is a drop down on the right hand side with the option to turn off
