Before it was easy to relsit - you click on relist item and a litle box would pop up for a quick relist - a few simple options but it was easy to click and relist.

Made it very easy to go down your page if you wanted to relist a lot of items. If you were on page 2, you stayed on page 2, etc.

Now it always goes to the full edit page and when you are done you have to go back to the first page and start all over again from the top and scroll down or click on the page for the items you want to relist. Very time comsuming and annoying.

Yes, the quick relist popup is gone. As to the rest - you are just doing it the hard way.

Go down the list of unsolds (I like to start at bottom with oldest and work up), middle click (or whatever you have to do in your browser) on the Relist button to open the relist page in a new tab, do it for 3 or 4 or a half dozen.

Pop over to the last tab, hit the End key on the keyboard to go to the bottom of the page, and click the List Item button.

Close tab and repeat for remaining open tabs.

Go back to Unsold tab and repeat for another group.

I have streamlined that process (and many others) with some software tweaks. A Firefox Stylish CSS ruleset that makes the Preview and List/Update Item buttons on the Sell Your Item (SYI) page float in place on the left margin - I don't have to scroll down to bottom of page to list/relist, or preview which saves a lot of scrolling. And an Autohotkey mouse macro hotkey assignment that makes a mouse Right+Left button combo close a tab in specified browser windows and close windows for specified programs like PDF viewers - bang bang bang they are closed and I'm moving on.

(I use Tabmix Plus in Firefox to prevent some tabs from closing and an old Windows resident program to make some windows unclosable to prevent boo-bos when in a rush 🙂

I'll try that. Even the mobile app now they added some annoying steps you have to go thru to relist.

Do they ever ask people what they like or they just make changes for the sake of making changes.

The relist popups made it SO easy to relist many items very quickly.

I hate the new set up.

eBay just does what they want, and very little of it these days ever makes any sense or turns out to be more efficient or better.

See if this works for you: https://k2b-bulk.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ListingConsole&currentPage=LCUnsold

I think you can bulk relist from there. I never have because I add relist date/price change/etc notes to each as it's relisted, often want to tweak things (like stripping out the font rwr= tags that pile up in the descriptions, change prices, qtys, etc), like to relist in the same order they ended, and just don't trust eBay to not screw up a bulk anything.

(if anyone wants the Stylish ruleset to float the relist and preview buttons on the side, or any of the other tweaks, ask.)

Thanks, but no thanks. There's nothing about your solution that is easier or as easy as it was before... a couple of clicks and done. EBay, thanks for sucking once again.

when you open your ebay, don't click unsold link. Instead, scroll down your ebay page until you reach your unsolds. I discovered this cause I too got didn't like going to full edit page.

I never said either approach was easier. They are workarounds. Continue the complaining approach and let me know how that works out for you.
