Did I miss the announcement?
In the past, during .20 listing days I always put up multiple auctions of my high $$$ items even though I knew they would all probably not sell. I did this just so I could use the re-list a week later.
When the re-list sold, my account would be credited the listing fee for the second auction which effectively still gave me a .20 listing.
Did some relists last night. One item has sold and ebay only credited the relist .20. When did the accounting procedure change?
Also, the relists are not showing as relists on my account status. In the past, a re-list had a reference to the original auction. Not any more.
So ebay is now hiding that info?
Probably trying to sucker us into paying more fees.

Additional "heads up".
Ebay has just made relists a major PITA!
I usually do my relists from the Unsold items page.
When relisting your auctions, the new seller form displays "You may receive an Insertion Fee Credit if this relisted item sells" at the top of the sellers form even if the listing does not qualify for the credit. There is no longer a warning that the listing does not qualify for a credit before you hit submit.
Be sure to check the closed auction. If it had a buyer or it was a multiple item auction, you no longer get the message that the listing does not qualify for the credit.
You will not see a credit on your statement.
I am going to complain very loudly about this! Ebay has the right to do whatever they want to with their fees, but they should not be able to do it without an annoucement! They should also not be able to do it with misleading page headers.
