If an auction fails to meet the reserve and you don't then sell it to an under-bidder or change to a fixed price "Buy Now" but instead choose to relist and try again, do you pay a second listing fee?

Cheers

Re-listing your item
You can list your item again by clicking the 'Relist’ button on the listing. You can also choose promotional options such as a featured or bold listing to increase the chance of a sale.

If your classified expires and you didn't find a buyer then you can re-list it for free within 45 days of the ad closing.

Quick re-list
Auctions can be relisted using the Quick relist feature. This allows you to relist up to 25 items at once.

To relist items, go to your Unsold items page, select the listings and click the 'Quick relist' button. You can Quick relist any items that haven't been withdrawn or relisted.

Please note if you list an item using Quick relist, the previous bidders and watchers will not be notified by email.

453414 2006-05-09 06:58:00 Thank you pctek .

So what you are saying is that all auctions are "classifieds"?

I read it all through (perhaps too late at night) and for some reason got the distinct impression that there was more than one class of listing . Perhaps I was thinking of Trade & Exchange . D'oh! :groan:

Why they didn't just say "if your auction expires and you didn't find a buyer" escapes me for the moment .

453416 2006-05-09 10:28:00 No, you're right Billy. There are classifieds and auctions (or do you actually know that and are joking? I'm behind on sleep too :P). Classifieds are only for cars and houses and things thoug, not general items.

You don't pay the success fee if it doesn't sell, but if you relist it I think you do pay any gallery/bold/feature etc prices.

On the strength of that revelation, and validation of my declining intellect and memory capacity, I shall go out and treat my brain cell to a stiff drink. :D

Why is it that Help Files don't?
