Why is there no longer an "Auto Relist" option for sellers??

[ma_402525]

In the past when I made a new auction item listing there is a checkbox under the "Selling details" section in the listing tool where I could select whether or not I would like for that item to be automatically re-listed or not.  When I have selected to automatically relist, and I set the auction duration for 7 days, eBay would relist the unsold item AUTOMATICALLY for 8 weeks in a row.  Also, each of the automatic relistings for that item were "free" in that it would NOT subtract from 250 auction listings I pay to have each month.

Recently I've noticed that my auction items set for 7 days duration are ENDING after 7 days and they are NOT automatically relisting.  I have looked in BOTH the old listing tool and the new listing tool and I am unable to find this selection option for automatic relisting ANYWHERE.  What happened to this option?!

So now I have to manually relist each auction item, which is a waste of time, AND I now lose an additional listing for the month each time I manually relist the item!  So it wastes my time and my money being paid to ebay which specifically covers automatic relisting for 8 times without deducting from my 250 auctions per month!  Here is a link to ebay's policy on automatically relisting auction items for 8 weeks, but right now it is not possible for me to do this and it is VERY aggravating.

What is going on and why are my auction listings no longer automatically relisting?  And where is that option in the listing tool?!

Thank you in advance for any guidance you can offer.

This is another one of ebay's STICK IT TO THE SELLERS!!  Someone at ebay in their wisdom decided you should no longer have this option. I've been an ebay seller for over 20 years and have seen the endless money grabs from ebay sellers over the years. They don't give a **bleep**e about their real customers that pay their bills. The reality is that Auction items far out sell Fixed Priced items.  If anyone hasn't noticed - Auction items usually end up at the top or near the top of a search for an item and is why they sell faster and more often.  If you had a option to have an item relisted 8 times, they now what you to pay a listing 8x rather than 1x.

It's an algorithm.  If you no longer have the auto list button stop selling for two weeks. Boom it magically appears. I've repeated told eBay....I won't pay for resisted items. Turn off the auto relist on me and I won't sell any items.
