    Default Extra Auto Relists

    I would like to have more auto relists please - up to 50 would be just ideal = each auto relist always retains the same listing ID# = longer exposure and less manual relisting = more exposure as listings move up the search list ranks = able to advertise with links, elsewhere on the internet without having to worry about auto relist running out and losing listing ID#.

    I am not all that keen on RUS as these type of listings remain at the bottom of the search list ranks. I'd much prefer the 'live' option and would like to see more relist options instead and not worry about manual relisting for a time, to be able to concentrate on other business matters.

    Hopefully this will be possible.

    Thank you

    Excellent idea. My items need a LOT of relists if they're ever to sell!

    Very good suggestion - think most of the collectables sellers would agree

    Won't that present a danger of bringing back the Dump 'n' Run sellers we spent so much time getting eBid to attempt to eradicate?

    If an item hasn't sold after 10 relists then it is maybe time to look at the listings and see if they can be improved or if RUS is a better vehicle for the item.

    You can Bulk Edit to bump the repost count back up to 10 before it hits zero and closes listings. This gives the desired effect and also requires at least some input from the seller occasionally.

    I check my listings when the 10 relists run out and make appropriate changes if needed before I relist anyway.

    This would require knowing how many relists are still available for each listing which would mean going into edit mode for each one. I don't have time to do this every day. I still would like to have the 50 relist option available.

    As for dump and run sellers, I have no control over them - they will come and go with time anyway.

    Not at all.

    If you run, as an example, for 10 days with 10 auto-repost then listings will run for 100 days before closing. Which means if you run Bulk Edit once every 3 months (or less) to bump the repost count back to 10 on all listings then they will never close. You don't have to worry about the repost count on individual listings at all.

    You would have to remember when the 3 months are up/due.
