This problem has already been discussed on several threads to no definite conclusion. eBay seems to be making the 8 relists for auctions available to select sellers in a random manner. An eBay CS has told several users that this perk is available only to new sellers to help them get going, but we have seen long-standing sellers get it too. My guess is it's controlled by an eBay bot that looks at your current and past sales history and decides if you get it or keep it. Your recent sales have been good so perhaps the bot has decided you no longer need help. It really seems to be a hit-and-miss thing.
That is a excellent observation. I was also told by eBay last year the perk is available only to new sellers to help them get going. I have also been told they come up with the 8 relist because the Fixed Price Listings were good for 30 days.
Only problem I had with using the function is you have to individually open each item and check the box. You can not check the box as a Bulk Listing function. This is very time consuming and hard to track when you have 500 Auctions.
According to their Policy on the 8 relist, there are no stated requirements to be able to use it and apparently it is automatic now so you do not have to check the box. I have not tried it for a few months so I do not know if it is working that way or not.
The only issue I have with the 8 relist is, if it is offered to you and you accept the offer then eBay needs to honor the agreement and not cut of the Auctions or charge you a listing Fee before you have used the 8 relists. That is so wrong.
