Last time I read the seller's FAQ, eBay doesn't charge fees on an
item with no bids as long as the seller relists the item.
So, it's actually cheaper for the seller to relist than to sell it
offline.
Of course, relisting an item 6 times at the same minimum when you're
getting no bids is kind of dumb.

Have you ever noticed how many times some
people will relist the
same
item? I remember one item that I know the seller relisted at least 8
times.
They must be paying an arm and a leg in listing fees. You'd think
they'd
wise up after it didn't sell the first couple of times.
Yeah, that really gets me. Especially when I make a reasonable offer
on
something that has received no bids at least a couple times, and the
seller balks and relists it. By the time they actually do sell it (if
ever) they are already in the hole with all the listing fees!
