why do i have multiple listings of the same item?

[mkountz]

I have 12 items for sale. They've been relisted a few times, and I've promoted or revised several. When I go to my unsold items page, there's now 31 listings, all the same items, but with different bids, watchers, and some with my revisions, some without. How did I get so many repeats, and how does it affect what I'm selling?

Each time one of your auctions does not sell or you end it it will show as a listing on your unsold page.

If you have an auction that does not sell and ends it will be on your unsold page, if it is then relisted and does not sell again it will be added again because it was a different listing than the first time. You now have it on there twice because it is not removed if you relist it.

Leaving listings on your unsold page does not affect your selling.

What does affect your selling is that each time an item is relisted it counts against your selling limits for the month. For example if you have a 10 item per month limit and you list 1 item, it does not sell and gets relisted 4 more times it will count as 5 items tword your 10 item limit.   Hope that helps.
