An ended item (either manually by the seller or sold out) will no longer be displayed on the eBay site and cannot be edited. To make it available again, sellers can choose one of the following options: Relist or Sell Similar.

This article will explain these two features and their functions within LitCommerce.

Relist and Sell Similar on eBay

Relist: This feature allows sellers to create a new listing for an item that previously ended, while retaining the original eBay Item ID along with sales history, rankings, etc.

Sell Similar: This feature creates a brand-new listing by copying the exact details of the selected one from your product catalog. It generates a new eBay Item ID that has no connection to the sales history, rankings, etc. of the original item.

The following table compares the Relist and Sell Similar features to help you choose the suitable one.

Note that when relisting listings, you may be responsible for standard insertion fees. Learn more about eBay fees HERE.

Relist and Sell Similar in LitCommerce

The LitCommerce eBay channel offers these two features that facilitate the bulk management of ended listings, eliminating the need to relist each item directly on the marketplace.

Follow the steps below to make your ended listings available for purchase on eBay.

1. Go to the Ended tab in the LitCommerce eBay channel from the side-bar menu. 

2. Select the desired listings, then open the Select Action list and select Relisting on eBay or Sell Similar.

Once relisted, the listings in LitCommerce will link to the new items on eBay and unlink from the ended ones.
