With a new Auction Listing there is an option for “Automatically relist this item up to 8 times if it doesn't sell. No insertion or optional listing upgrade fees for each relist.” “Automatically relisted items won't be charged insertion or optional listing upgrade fees. Final value fees still apply.”
The box will not stay checked if the listing is saved as a template.
The box will not be checked if you are relisting an item.
The box is not available for Bulk Listings.
If you want to relist 200 items and have no changes, it is simple enough to do and can be done very rapidly with a few keystrokes. However, if you want to use the function to Automatically relist up to 8 times, you must open each individual listing and check the Box. However if you want to make a change such as a Shipping Fee this can be done with a few key strokes and you do not have to open each individual listing to do this.
Even with initially creating Bulk Listings this is not an option. Once you are complete with the Bulk Listings you must go back and open each individual listing to check the Box.
This is difficult to do for hundreds of listing as it is very time-consuming process to complete and it is very difficult to keep track of the Listings where the Box needs to be checked or have already been checked.
Using the “Seller Hub” it is near impossible to keep track of the Listings that have been edited as nothing changes on the page as you edit the listings.
In the Classic View it is a little easier to keep track of your changes because as you click the Edit Button and make changes then go back to your listings button changes from Blue to Purple. After you make all the changes you can go back refresh your page and then click on More Actions. If the action “Remove Automatic Relist” is listed, then you know the Relist 8 Time Box has been checked.
In the Seller Hub there is an option to “Assign Automation Rules” to relist an item once or continually until it sells. This function can be done in bulk however it charges for each relist.
Seems like there could be a way to save the option “Automatically relist this item up to 8 times if it doesn't sell” as a Template, as a Bulk Listing function or saved to Relisted items.
It is not very productive to have to use two different Listing Programs (Seller Hub and Classic View) in order to us this function repeatedly.
Is there a better way you can advise me how to do this?
Is there a way to get eBay to consider making a change to their programs?
Perhaps within “Bulk Listings” the “Assign Automation Rules” could be change to include “No insertion or optional listing upgrade fees for each relist”.
I have talked to them on the phone twice, done a number of feedback's/surveys and sent a email to no avail.
