What duration do you do relists?

Or even new listings.

There is a seller that I check in on from time to time that does really amazing volume (in my eyes, no Linda or BFMO (??) volume, but decent ) and everything they list is initially listed or re-listed at 5 days.
They maintain it seems 1100 to 1400 listings every month so I can imagine those nickel relists add up. I am assuming they have an anchor store.

But anyway, I mix it up, 7 days, 10 days is my most common, and 30 day for stuff that may be out of season or more of a turd. Just wondering what you guys do? I would love to do the 5 day relists, it keeps stuff in the "newly listed" and the "ending soon" but I just can't afford it really.

(I posted this on Kevins board as well, but want input from those of you that no longer post there as well

30. I have played with 10 day listings & relists & have not seen any benefit from it.

I'm talking FP, as I don't do many auctions.

I'm pretty much all fixed price too unless there is an auction special going on.

I do 30 day.

During listing specials, I have toyed with the idea of relisting a time that was long enough to get another free relist. Haven't done it yet, seems like a lot of work.

30 days but during the longer listing specials I will sometimes do rounds of shorter listings and then relist at the longest duration on the last day of the special. I don't think it has really helped any.

30 day FP here too. I rarely, if ever, do auctions anymore.

I've been using 10 days forever, but I'm changing up a little as an experiment.

If eBay continues to do listing specials, I think the 'urgency' of a 10 day listing ending will be muted. So I'm using 30 days for basic core stuff that sells all year - tanks, shells, all-year blazers, dresses, evening stuff.

Current season new listings and 'impulse' type buys will continue to be listed in 10 days cycles. I have no idea how this will work, since I'm just starting it this week.
