auto-relist delay problem

Anyone else had problems with auto-relist mysteriously not relisting items until some bizarre time days later?

All my listings are set up to start and end on a Friday or Sunday.  It relisted three or four on Wednesday for some reason.  Three I just killed and restarted on Friday, the other was eBay Motors so I paid a fee. The same thing tonight, two items, one a free relist, the other has a fee, started after 11 on a Saturday night.     

Normally within 5 minutes or so of close it relists an item, and I sure didn't tell it to wait, both times not only has it been days but it's been an odd amount of hours too.  From anywhere from noon-4PM, to the one group about 9 AM, and tonight's group after 11 PM.  

I did catch it not relisting one right away, last week, and did it manually, and it doesn't seem to have ever tried to relist that one.  But with now 50, 60, 70 items posted each week in an effort to get even 10% sell through I can't keep track of all of them. 

Since I paid a fee on two of them, I'm just letting them run out, I don't know that eBay would refund the listing fee even if I complained.  

I've been using this tool long enough I've had to stop and hold over some items because they got to where they end so late in a day they're outside the window I prefer and this is the first time I've noticed it mess up.

auto-relist delay problem

Having a delay I could pick would be handy. Everything I touch in the app becomes gtc lately, and with auctions this is complicated because I do not necessarily want auctions to start the same day of the week all month long. If there was a few days gap I could go in and stop a few from relisting and change it up like i usually do, start thyrsday first week of the month, friday second week, and so on. Instead Im just listing the few things I can in buy it now and after ebay adds best offer and other garbage, I go in and price jump it so at least people who make offers feel like they win a discount. Auctions i have to end 26 hours early.

Have I mentioned how much I really hate this hoop jumping backdoor changing nonesense? No? Ok well I hate it. And its only marginally relevant to your post but today is the 5th day in a row I have tried and failed to get things listed in the advanced form and I needed to vent somewhere (love ebay, cant make them look bad on social media complaining here).

Anyway I hope yoyr glitch resolves, its very frusterating when things listed for sale do not stay listed the way you list them!

You can set them to auto-relist at a specific time, but I believe they hit you up a dime per listing.  

And as this shows no way to know if some bug will keep them from starting properly.
