Price changing automatically when relisting

[mekmipretty]

I have noticed that when I relist items, my price is automatically changed (reduced) on the new listing.  This has caused me to lose money.  It's almost as if the price is dropped so that the item sells (Ebay makes money and Paypal makes money  but I lose in paying shipping charges and fees).  Example:  item listed for $1.99 plus shipping.  Upon relisting (manually) item is relisted at $1.20.  Of course it gets a bid.  I did not select to use Ebay's recommended price.  I reported this but Ebay says they have NO reports on this matter.  Is anyone else experiencing this?   Please keep an eye on your items.  I have my kids help with relisting, so they were not aware of past listing prices.  My bad.

Nothing would surprise me, especially after eBay floated the idea of auto dropping the price on relists a while back.

Way back when - I had used relist an item and the total automatically relisted starting out at .99 cents (I don't think so) - so I changed the totals (and I also look to see if EBAY CHECKS things - like - oh run until cancelled, gallery pics, relist automatic - seems Ebay likes to DEFAULT templates and listings to their favor and fees. If the auction is not going as you wish - just cancel it and relist it at the price you wanted in the original transaction rather than lose money - sorry that happened to you - you REALLY have to watch the relists - I would suggest using either the sell similar or just a new listing each time to check in the future.

Every time I use the bulk listing feature to change my prices, EBay messes them all up. A pair of shot glasses that were listed for $7 was changed to $600, a $450 Jack Daniels shot chiller was changed to $15. A vintage fan was listed for $175.00, I had 10 people watching it, it sold overnight for $12! Now I have a buyer making a complaint against me. I check to make sure the listings are correct after I use the Bulk Listing Edit, they are... then mysteriously the ones that aren't screwed up have reverted back to the original price. I am at my wits end

You have to start making sure you check each and every item including price as soon as you submit. Do not wait around until a buyer purchases the item to check for accuracy.

What's really strange is, when I went to look at the vintage fan it says it sold for:

• $12.00  Buy It Now + $144.92 shipping 

but it appears it was originally listed this way:  $12.00 + $63.22 shipping

HAHAHA - the prices keep changing - HOW AWFUL!

I went to check the fan too. On the listing sold page it notes: $12.00 Price and $132.91 Shipping; but when I click on the actual listing it shows: $12.00 plus $57.79!!! HOW TOTALLY WEIRD.

diggers777,

I tried to look at your listings that were active - many of them have a "higher" shipping price on the summary of all your listings page - but when I click to look at a specific listing - the shipping amount changes - do you have priority and regular economy shipping options maybe?  This is very strange.
