Does eBay automatically relist your unsold items? (1 Viewer)

[upNdown]

I listed some crap (non-poker Knick-knacks.) one auction finished on Saturday unsold and I’m sure I didn’t re-list it because I planned on tweaking the listing a bit. But I just noticed that it’s active again. Weird.

"automatically relist" is a selectable setting when you create a listing, you must have had it checked

When making the listing there is a toggle button to choose if you want it to relist if unsold. You kinda have to be looking for it.

While we’re on the topic, does anybody have any opinions on the suggestions they give you for starting bids and buy it now prices? Are they realistic? Aggressively optimistic? Low for quick sale?

I only know that for chips they are wildly off. You can usually get a good gauge by doing an advanced search and look for "completed" and "sold" listings to see recent sale prices.

It probably depends on what you are listing. If the item is something that sells often and that the AI can actually find comps for, I assume it is fairly accurate.
I have personally found it to not be very accurate. Better to do as @kaimat said and figure out the price yourself.
As with chips, it also always depends on condition of your item compared to comps. And how motivated you are to sell.

Yes, I always look at those first, but they give us very little data now. What’s the look-back on those, 3 months?

3 months is correct. I used to know a website that would tell you the accepted OBOs but it no longer works. So even less info to work with
