Relisted Items now GTC started

[bigoljim47]

I just relisted some items and HELL O GTC started. Thanks for the warning

This is the worse decision they have made in a long time, and they have made some doozies. Everyone needs to call customer service to complain. They are keeping a log.

I will call and complain. I just see this as a means for me to charge me automatically every month for the items outside my monthly quota of free listings every time they automatically relist them. It's just going to end up with me having to spend more time managing my stuff.

I just had a sale and tried Sell Similar on the item just to test it. Yep, no more drop down menu is available, just the GTC is there. Glad I took the warning from the other day and did all my listing from the free 200 listings that end tonight yesterday. Very surprised they made the change to GTC in the middle of a listing promo.

this is ridiculous.  Stupid ideas like this are the main reason why they are being taken over by other selling platforms.

[tamaralea]

That must have just happened, as I used "sell similar" and got choices an hour ago.

This is truly ridiculous.  I like to manually relist so I can adjust pricing.  It is a money grab.  Just when I upgraded to the 1000 item per month listing plan and was moving more items away from Amazon.  Oh well, more listings will go back to Amazon and I'll need to put my plan back to the lower amount.

I noticed this too while trying to relist. I don't like automatic relists AND lately with some items I will only run a 3-5 day listing and will NOT relist those items if they fail to sell.

Looks like I'll have to manually cancel items if they haven't sold within my time frame. People will watch list things but won't buy them because they assume they can grab it at their leisure and things will be relisted indefinitely. I'm not going to sit on items for 6 months or more, if it doens't sell on eBay promptly it'll go through a yard sale or something else.

I do not believe ebay is doing this to increase revenue..altho that may be a bonus. I think they believe we will lower our prices to make inventory move faster and the new policy will result in getting the **bleep** off their sight..whose going to pay to list 3 pair of used socks at 8.99$.

what if I don't know it is relisted and it is sold?!

If you pay attention that should not happen!

But, if we cancel an item, doesn’t eBay penalize us?

Keeping a log.......that's hilarious!! Like ANYBODY would read it or care about it. eBay is a joke.

Ebay has clearly forgotten that its sellers, not its buyers, are its customers. It is the sellers that pay Ebay fees and support its revenue platform. Revenue then drives share price performance. As a publicly traded company, all that matters to Ebay management at the end of the day is share price. As Ebay attempts to replicate an Amazon marketplace, it fails to consider that a substantial amount of revenue is generated through one-off, non-inventory item sellers and that these sellers might not be so loyal to Ebay on a go forward basis given Ebay's unfriendly seller policies toward them. Clearly, Ebay does not appreciate non-inventory sellers and is driving them from its marketplace with GTC listings, which may result in double listing fees for particular billing cycles. Maybe a sufficient number of sellers will leave for other selling avenues, taking a fair share of Ebay revenue as well.

You can end any item (except ones that have current offers or bids) at any time without penalty.
