what's the deal with ebay's auto relist feature

[chas_kit]

There used to be an option to relist ONCE automatically. Now my listings are renewing automatically ad week after week. There seems to be no way to turn this off, other than ending the listing. I don't want to end my current listings, but I don't want all of them to renew either. Eventually I'll be getting charged for those listings. Anyone know a way around this, preferably for all my listings at once?

No wonder ebay is filling up with the same unsold junk week after week! Stuff is relisting without people asking ebay to do that, and ebay is probably making fees off it too. What a mess!

I don't have this problem. Just delete it when they relist it. You get free listings now so no big deal.

It is an option when you initially list the item. It is ticked on by default so you have to deselect it. It's right at the end so easy to miss. The re-listings are "free", that is, as free as anything is on ebay.

Aren't they free only until you hit your 50 per month or whatever the deal is at that time? Then it could start incurring charges?

On Australian ebay all the relistings are free and don't count towards your monthly limit. I assume USA ebay will be the same.
