As you get to know eBay better, you will see people, who have an item up for sale at auction and you will notice at times their item does not sell. This can be for many reasons, from something very simple, such as they got the finishing time wrong right through to wrong keywords and everything else in between. Even long standing eBay traders get it wrong and will re-list.
Quite often you will see people who sell in a certain niche will add a load of products at auction, some will sell first time round and others do not sell. Very often these people will re-list straight away at the same price and again some will sell and others sit there. It is the where the seller will either just dump the products or if they have a shop you will find they add these items that have not sold at auction into their shop – often at a higher price, and guess what they will often sell them months down the line.
1) Why Do People Re-list On eBay ? – The common thing is people will sell at auction and the buyer never pays. eBay and the seller try everything in their power to get the buyer to pay, but at times this is impossible. eBay then allow the seller to relist.
2) Why Do People Re-list On eBay ? – The seller has to cancel the transaction, this can happen while the auction is running or at times when the auction has finished and the item won. This could be for a large number of reasons. Things like, you forgot you would be away when the item finished, the item you sold was not the item you thought you had, when the item was got ready to post you noticed to has a mark on it. The list can go on and on, but it is a common reason why people re-list.
If you are honest with eBay they will often refund you the listing fee next time you relist the item. When you get round to relisting it can be as easy as click on re-list and within seconds the item is re-listed. While other times you need to revise the listing before you relist.
When you revise a listing it can be as simple as change a word through to removing a photo and adding a new photo, but once you have done it a few times you will be able to do it with your eyes closed.
I hope this has helped you understand why people relist items on eBay.
