Is it ever worth re-listing an item that has not sold?

Not only have they not sold, but they received no watchers either.

The items in question are children's winter coats and a couple of other items of children's winter clothing.

Have you ever sold something once you re-listed it?

I once sold something within ten minutes of re-listing it.

Strange, I know

i would relist them - its free for one relist anyway so you're not losing out. i have sold a few bits when relisted, so its worth it imo.

Is it free? I thought it was only free if the item then sold. ie you get back your re-listing fees....?????

I tend to relist one more time then if not sold goes to charity shop

Just worked out who you are omeN666!

It is free if the item sells.

It is worth re-listing. Maybe see what you can do differently? Change the keywords in the title for example, or change the end time/day.

I have often had an item go unsold and then I relist and people bid like crazy...

I got my favourite pair of paintings (honestly, I would forget the family photos and grab these in a fire) when they were re-listed.

What IS weird is when people re-list it for more than the original auction. Out of idle curiosity I've been watching something that has now been re-listed three times, and each time the seller adds GBP35 to the start price. Not sure what he or she is thinking....

The 35p is what it's costing him to list if it's under £14.95 and without gallery. He's trying to keep relisting fees from eating into his profit margin.

Bit of a numpty selling strategy imho

i always relist but make it a best offer so people can ofer you a price as maybe the price is too high so say at 10 pound have or best offer

always sells if i dp this as if your going to charity shop them then any offer is better than giving away for nothing also if has pictures sells better

It's 35 quid he adds each time! Sorry, I don't have a pounds symbol on my keyboard.
