Peter, I understood the point some time ago in the discussion about the
way
ebay worked and how sellers were using the relisting mechanism to list
different items. It's not faithful to the semantic use of the word, and
up
until now, all relisted items I'd been watching were the same item as in
the
original listing.
I guess that's life. I've cancelled the bid, so I guess the shows over.

live and learn.



Half the fun of life really 8-) I wouldn't take this sort of thing too
seriously though. At least you did actually read and re-read the
descriptions of the items - which is more than quite a few people on
eBay seem to manage 8-)

One thing that does mystify me is that I received two emails from ebay to
say that the item had been relisted. the first (the one I responded to)
pointing to a different printer (though the same model), the second (far
later) pointing to the real relisted item. How does that happen? Surely an
expired listed item can only be relisted once?

Paul

i would guess the watchers get an email every time the the seller uses the
relist button on one of his listings, so seller has used the relist button
twice.
