Automatic re-listing my item especially if it received no bids.

[dawny08]

Am I unaware of a procedure or function that allows me to have control of my own property? I watched my item end-it received no bids and then automatic re-listed. It will continue to be automatically re-listed up to 5 times. I do understand that ending an auction early should always be avoided if possible-but why can’t the re-listing decision be mine instead of a computer system?  I certainly would never act in bad faith and end an auction early-especially if it had a bid. What am I missing?

New sellers, and infrequent returning sellers,  who use the Quick Listing tool will have that automatic relist.  To avoid that, switch to the advance/business tool.  That option will be in the upper right corner of the listing tool.  Once you do that, you will have more control over your listings.

thank you so much for taking the time to help me. Even though I’ve been a member of EBay since 1999, I took a 7 year break from selling and came back in February. I’m kind of stupid on computer/listing terms and functions.

 I don’t know what you’re talking about on something called “listing tool”.

can you please walk me through what you replied like you are explaining to a complete EBay newbie?
