Is anyone else having relisting problems with EL
When i go to relist unsold items I get a message that the item was listed  previously in the last 90 days and I cannot relist it unless I change the title.
 Ok I know that listings go into unsold after 60 days and they stay there for 90 days .Previous to this happening I have virtually been able to relist as soon as they hit the unsold list . Noe it seems that thay have to stay in the unsold list for 30 days before being able to relist unless of course I change the title which is a pain in the butt.
  Have admin changed the rules or have i got some default button not right

 No - it's always been like that as far as I know.  Trick is to relist (or upload into EL) before they go into unsold.

Well it has not been like that for me . previously i have been able to relist 5 minutes after they hit unsold

It's nothing to do with how long they've been in unsold, it's how long it's been since you last downloaded the listing from EL.  If you have downloaded that item within the last 60 days you can't download it again without making some sort of change to the listing first.  I think it is a fail-safe to prevent you accidentally ending up with duplicate listings.  I just use the bulk edit feature to add a sub-title to all the listings, something like "new listings added weekly, check regularly for new items".  Then it will let you download them.

Hi pepper
I last imported my items into EL in January so well over the 90 days. 2 weeks ago I uploaded a large number from EL and out of them 5 came up with the message. I just changed the listing period to 5 days instead of 3 and they uploaded. If you don't want to fiddle with the titles just change the listing time.

Hi pepper
Yep when that comes up, I do the same as cezm and just change the listing time as well.
