For some time now I have been having a problem relisting auctions. I usually relist about 20 auctions from 4 weeks before on Thursday afternoons, just after I have launched my other regular weekly auctions.
What happens is that when I press the "continue" button I just get a "page not available" page. If I keep this open and come back to it 15 minutes later it may or may not work, but it seldom works if I immediately press it again.
Also, less annoying, if I do get to the next page and am allowed to check the changes I have made in the listing, I will end up with another "page not available" after I press the "submit" button.
The auction may or may not have been launched at this point. I have to check "myebay" to find out.
This thursday it took me two hours to complete the relisting of 4 auctions, at which point I gave up. There is never any acknowledgement of problems of this sort on Ebay's "announcement board," so I thought I would try for other feedback on this matter.
Is anyone else loosing a lot of time trying to relist? I mean is this a major problem for a lot of people, or just an occasional one for a few?

Download, www.opera.com's brower--relisting and revising ad on Ebay--is a whiz when you cannot accomplish it on IE or Netscape--
Others have stated here that you wait about 3 minutes using IE, that the next screen opens to finish relisting/revising an ad. Hope that this helps, Opera's browser has worked for me 99% of the time. ---

I do not know if this will work for relisting but it does work for revising.
Try waiting 2-3 MINUTES before clicking continue at the bottom of the page. On the next page WAIT again 2-3 MINUTES vefore clicking submit. It is the only way I can revise an auction and it works for me every time.

This has been a problem on Ebay for a couple of years. Like the other folks said, Opera works flawlessly, and I never have a problem with Netscape.

I cannot get ipix to show up in OPERA when I relist. The boxes were you can put a picture in your auction never shows up. If I click on getting information about using ipix, it just takes me to the bottom of the page. So I have to do my relists in IE or Netscape if I want to use IPIX which I do as a back up incase my pictures don't show up with my host company, plus I like the picture up at the top next to the title. Anybody have any ideas WHY? it will not show the picture stuff?? Christine

I tried to do a relist on Monday as I had made a mistake in my listing. Cancelled all bids and then cancelled the auction. Tried about five times over several hours, gave up and did a new listing. Can I have my $0.30 back please eBay? I use AOL6.
