Auto Relist Feature - 30 day = 3 months

[skylarstuff]

Does anyone here use this auto re list feature?

Does it actually allow a 30 day fixed listing to run up to 3 months for FREE?

"This is for .ca also ???"

Yes, both .ca and .com.

Still no box appearing.

Good Gawd, I hope I don't have to call CS.

I have been looking for this option since it came out a year ago. I never have seen it on .ca or .com.

I asked in a weekly session about this months ago and the ebay ca rep said it was coming soon. Then this topic was started with some sellers getting it.

I tried again from scratch, relist and sell similar and never saw it.

It may be for some sellers only???

The only thing I did not try was another browser. I am using FireFox v30 (and earlier versions). Maybe I will try Internet Explorer or google chrome.

I just re-read this whole thread and noted that skylarstuff had listed the criteria from the eBay help pages.  One of them was:

"Your eligibility to relist an item automatically is based on your transactions and sales. When you're eligible to relist an item automatically, you see the option in the listing form. You can see your transactions and sales in your Seller Dashboard in My eBay."

I can't see bb's and pocomo's Seller Dashboards but their feedback and DSR's look good.

I've only seen the option once and that was when I started a listing from scratch. Since then, I haven't seen it at all, even if I start from scratch.

jt, In the example you just gave, you had paid for the listing. Does the option show up for you when you have a free listing?

I read on one of the U.S. boards that the feature is just in testing mode which is why not all sellers see it. There were also a couple of posts from sellers about how they could use it a while ago but it isn't an option for them now so it doesn't seem to be that consistent.

(imagine that..ebay not consistent)

Yes, I get the option on my free listings also.

Many of mine did not have the box either but I think that's because some of my listings are still on the old selling form. It's worth it to copy & paste to the newer form but I didn't have the time. Will make the time this month when those listings are up. It's worth it.

Yes, thisseems to be the case, but exactly what the criteria are, I've not been able to find out. 

I've been getting the 3x free relist feature on every item I've relisted lately, including items that were promo auction items (those were new listings I made up for the promo), and others that were older FP listings that I relisted for 30 days.  I haven't yet had one go through the whole 30-day cycle, so can't confirm that I'm not being charged for the relistings. 

I have TRS (global) and TRS Plus (US - for the moment at least).  I wonder if one of those is the criterion?  It's also possible that 'jt' is correct about it being simply a test roll-out.  I noticed the first one appeared for me about 2 weeks ago, but not on every relist.  Now it's appearing consistently.

I'm now past the first few 30-day fixed priced listings and they re-listed just fine, with no fees.

I don't understand the criteria, either ... all I can say is I'm happy to have this feature.  With eBay's new policy that the free listings could only be used for auctions in certain categories (which I use), I'm happy to pay 30 cents for 90-day Fixed Price listings.
