Do we use "have been" to show repeating action?

Because many times is mentioned many indirectly indicates that this action has been continued and continued from a starting point till a when I went there recently.

Why not I had been? as the actions were repeating in the past.

Hi Priya,
Well, the reason "I have been" is used because the Action is repeated. I have been there " many a time " in the past. If many a time wouldn't have given, was could be used.
For example : " I was there in the past " or " I went there in the past ".
Action is not repeated in above examples.
