    Well, I've had a look on my seller hub, and the 35p charge has rolled over for tomorrow.
    It looks like I'm going to have to put an extra 50p on each item to now cover this 35p extra charge.
    And I will have to do each listing individually as I've looked on the Ebay forums and this glitch is happening to loads of people.
    Anybody else think that they are just getting greedy now? It's going to put loads of people off.

    EDIT - Just had a go at relisting. It's let me do 20 (which I think are free anyway), then it's tried to charge me the 35p. So I've cancelled the surplus for now. Lots of people complaining about getting charged a relisting fee. So there is a glitch somewhere.
    BEST EVER WINS WON IN ORDER (so far) = Sony Camcorder, 32" lcd telly, micro ipod hifi, Ipod Nano, Playstation 3, Andrex Jackpup, Holiday to USA, nintendo wii, Liverpool vs Everton tickets, £250 Reward Your thirst, £500 Pepsi, p&o rotterdam trip, perfume hamper, Dr Who stamp set, steam cleaner.

    comping = nowt more thrillin' than winnin':T :j

    Regarding the relisting, looking at other forums it seems that if you re list one item at a time the charge disappears. Ebay did at one point a few years back start charging for items bulk relisted in a bid to stamp out the huge number of listings that some 'private' sellers have, but it had reverted back to being non chargeable again.

    Other than that all you can do is double check your terms and conditions, the auto relist requirement is still doing the rounds, as it the must have offers enabled on auctions - which no one can seem to find how to set.

    There are alternatives out there but the market unfortunately seems to stick with ebay. Personally I'm doing well for personal items, not usually business stock, on both Shpock and Facebook groups and have had a very busy weekend.
