The catch is.. if you go and relist that item from within eBay again.. a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. time.. you never get a refund again. Something eBay really doesn't emphasize (for obvious "eBayish reasons
) and most people don't notice or give thought to. This.. of course.. adds up. If you use Auctiva's new internal relist function.. the same applies because it's submitted to eBay AS a relist (a function all of you screamed for.. but a double edged sword).Sooo.. I came acrossed this idea. Everytime I want to relist an item.. or I should say.. every OTHER time.. if I want that free relist option to go in effect on the EVEN listings (2nd,4th,6th,etc.) the solution is simple. Make a NEW listing on every ODD one (on 1st.. of course.. 3rd,5th,etc). Of course.. then they obviously aren't "relists" in the truest sense.. and you may be thinking.. "Isn't that a lot of extra work?".
Nahhh.. instead of going through the entire creation process again.. simply go into your "saved" listings folder (provided you haven't deleted the original one) and use the "create similar listing" button on the right. From there.. you can even re-edit the listing.. lower your price, etc. The difference being that when you submit it to eBay this time, they will see it as a new listing (provided you don't "save" the similar listing over the old one first and then submit it) and therefore.. you'll get a relist credit offered you again!
Remember.. just DON'T use the "relist" function EVEN within Auctiva (works for the first relist though.. obviously).. or it won't work. You must simply create a new, but similar listing from your original saved one.
