    No. What's the problem in relisting it yourself - only takes a few seconds.

    yes you have to go in to your 'my ebay', into the items you have for sale, and then click on 'assign automation rules' on the right hand side of the item.

    the option to set it up to automatically relist itself if it doesn't sell is an 'automation rule'.

    hope this helps.

    Thanks for that Zippie84 - there I am trading on eBay since 2002 and I didn't know that. Goes to show what a crap site eBay really is when such useful tools are not made obvious. The more I use eBay the less I use eBay if you get my meaning. The whole thing is weighted in favour of the buyer and eBay never, in my experience, check with sellers to see how they can improve things for them - new rules etc. are continually foisted on us without consultation. I now sell as little as possible on eBay these days as do many others who previously sold there - I have complained over various issues but automated responses are all you ever get. :mad:

    hi. i couldn't agree more, particularly with ebay not caring about the sellers at all.

    my only question is though, you say that you are selling on ebay less and less, however have u found anywhere else decent to sell?

    cheers.

    Sadly eBay remains the only site with enough vendors and sellers to make it worthwhile using but after the seven years spent on it I now have a sufficiently large database to deal directly with customers. It is a pity that eBay, which started out as such a great idea, has really lost its way and has become an impersonal money grabbing machine like so many big companies. They won't even see the impending implosion coming - they will be reading about it over their breakfast tables one of these days. Remember where you heard it first!
