Selling by re-listing items, but they don't show as a recent listing? Why?

So, anybody looking for an item I am selling that I have rolled over from one month to the next will not see it as a new listing or recent listing. It will show up WAY DOWN the search page to the original time I listed it, thereby cutting me off from buyer searches for recently listed items. This is lousy advertising of my listings by eBay! Why am I paying eBay ever escalating fees for such poor promotions?

There is a filter for buyers to choose "New Listings".  Many buyers get tired of seeing the same listings over and over and choose this filter.  It would be helpful to create a new listing from the old one instead of just re-listing.  Then you boost your visibility.  It is not all up to eBay to sell your items.

It's stupid for buyers to choose the new listing filter because almost all my re-lists are with reduced pricing from the last listing. Typical response of re-doing hundreds of my old listings with new listings!! Like I've got the time to do that every month for auctions under $10. Furthermore, this isn't a buyer filter I'm talking about here. It's eBay refusing to list my auctions properly. Just list my auctions as a recently listed auction and buyers can't just move on if they don't like them. Period!

"It is not all up to eBay to sell your items." Say what? yeah, right! 

And you can pick up your check from eBay now.
