Automatically relisting unsold auctions

Question

I used to be able to auto-relist unsold auctions.

This was easy for me, and saved me time and effort.

Now, eBay has taken this option away since I am an "experienced long-time seller", and this option is only available to NEW sellers.

So now, I need to spend the time when ALL my auctions end, and relist them one by one, or wait until they are ALL done, and then relist them TWO HOURS after the optimum time that I want them to relist at?

Who makes these stupid decisions on eBay???

Does ANYONE have a better solution to this idiocracy???

Hi @sandys-attick

eBay never used to auto-relist auctions for anyone. They added this "feature" only for new sellers (likely as a hook to keep them on the platform long enough to make eBay a habit). Every day, sellers come here and ask how to turn it off so it's not so popular with everyone.

After eight auto-relists, you should have enough experience to take over listing management yourself. (Perhaps if your item hasn't sold after eight relists, they aren't really starting at the optimal time. Sometimes if something isn't getting the desired result, it's time to try something different.)
