    If they were Dutch auctions with items sold, that's what happens. Dutch auctions stop reposting when the quantity changes. If they weren't, then I'll have to guess again.

    If they weren't dutch auctions, perhaps you forgot to change the repost quantity to 10 when listing?

    Can you give us an item number so we can see if we spot anything?

    They are listed now but has taken 1 hour for them to relist and i find it a bit strange, here are both items.

    Ah, so it's the old "pause when relisting" glitch - happens from time to time I believe. It can happen with moving to sold as well. I've not had either problem myself, but I've seen it reported from time to time.

    It happens to my listings with regularity, so I thought it was "par for the course" and not a glitch. It's not a big deal. It just means that some items that I list in the afternoon or evening will end overnight after the 10th relisting. For stuff that's worth buying, the end time of the listing really should not make or break a potential sale.
