In the past, eBay would recognize the relisting of an item through Auction Watch that didn’t sell and give a free relisting if the item then sold the second time. Recently I have relisted several items through AW and eBay received them as if they were initial listings with the regular listing fee. If I relist through eBay rather than AW, they accept it as a relist with no fee if it sells. Does anyone else have this experience?

Yes I had the same experience. I got nailed during the holiday selling season and was really annoyed with the whole relist problem when I reviewed my Ebay bill this past month. It's been that way for me since November.
I'm not sure if its an Ebay glitch or AW glitch. If I take it to either service they will just give me the canned reply. "It has been mentioned many times on the message board".
I didn't try to relist directly with Ebay and only use AW so I thank you for letting me know it's not just me.

My personal experience has been: regardless of which AUCTION MGMT PROGRAM I've used (AW or AH or CA or SD) it is always better to relist DIRECTLY from feeBay.
Even though all these companies employ the API, there's some kind of bug in the feeBay ointment that screws up 3rd party re-listing

ROFL, Tomwiii your insight is always very useful and entertaining, I love "feebay". So when are you going to write a book?
That little trick of relisting directly with feebay will save me some big bucks. Thanks...

However if you list directly with feebay AW will charge you 10 cents a picture since the relist was not done through them.

Another interesting fact that needs to be corrected. My auction listing fee is $1.10 or more with each listing so it's still cheaper to relist directly with feebay and pay the AW photo fee. Unless of course I can find a way to use my website photos.
Anyone know how to list a website photo in the AW templates?
