For the past three months I have been selling lots of items from an Estate Sale on eBay - it was my first choice as it gets these collectible pens to a large market.
Three weeks ago, prior to being relisted 8 times (and what genius decided to make that number up) my items all have to be manually relisted with my store sub DAILY.
This is beyond ludicrous as each day, five to twenty or more items have to be manually relisted. This causes issues if one gets missed and worse, some get listed twice if I am not paying careful attention and have to step away from the process.
With the interface being one of the most frustrating UI experiences I have experienced (IT guy for 35 years), I am now waiting for some "programming team" at eBay to figure out why I cannot relist automatically no matter which of the many screens that can be used to supposedly do this I use.
I have stopped relisting and am seeking other platforms that are easier to manage for sales - I like the auction format that I have used since 2002 but not being able to autorelist on this site is a deal breaker.
I don't care if eBay decides to charge us after the 8th relist at let's say .20 cents for 8 more weeks - they already take a huge percentage from sales - but make it work.
This inability to autorelist or even have the ability to decode to is unacceptable with this many listings - I can only imagine the frustration of those with THOUSANDS of listings.
Get 'er done Ebay.

Clearly their sold items show that to be incorrect. They sell lots of pens. It is more likely that those that might be interested in such a pen just wasn't around to purchase it at the time. We all have to keep in mind that buyers are not at their computers no where near as much as us sellers.
