EBay New 3 Month Automatic Relisting Feature

  Hey guys! So I've been doing ALOT of research lately about this new automatic relisting feature, and I think I have it figured out. Every time I list an item, on the last page it always has a PRE CHECKED box that says "Automatically relist your item up to 3 times for FREE". I was VERY skeptical about using this. I don't pay insertion fees, I just use my monthly free 150 listings. So I was afraid that this feature would take my free listings every month and then charge me $0.30 per listing that goes over the 150.
  After much research I've discovered that it does not use ANY additional free insertions after the initial insertion fee, (which is free if you haven't used yours up yet) or charge insertion fees. So potentially, I can list 150 items for FREE, and they will be listed on eBay for a total of 4 months (initial month listed, plus 3 more months free) without using any more of my free listings each month or charging me. I've been testing this out, and every time one of my items relist, it doesn't use a free listing or charge me! Yay! So this means I can list 150 the first month for free, then next month those 150 (if none sold) will relist without using any of the new free listings, giving me an additional 150 free listings to use for a total of 300 listings.. So by the fourth month, when the first set of listings relist for the final time, I will have a total of 600 items listed for FREE!
  I guess eBay is wanting to push people to list more. Let me know your opinion on this new feature, and your experience! Thanks for reading!

  1. Wow, I had not even heard of this. Do you have a store? If so, is it basic or premium level? Sounds like a sweet deal :)

    1. Yes I have a basic store. I think this feature may be available to only certain members, but it may be available to all. I'm not sure. Thanks for reading!

  2. thanks for posting this... i've been skeptical to try it for fear of hidden fees, but it sounds good... my only question is - before that free third month ends, do you have to make sure to uncheck the relist box or else they start charging you??

    1. No! At the end of the 3rd month, it will just not relist, and you can relist it again manually, using a free listing, and it will auto relist for another 4 months!
