Hi, dogstar.
When you are eligible for the free relist policy, you have to Relist Your Item via eBay for now. Since I relist until an item sells, I keep a paper record of which times are new listings, and which are relists. I alternate Listing with Auctiva and Relisting via eBay.
The relist feature, along with being able to Combine Shipping, will be added in May.
