Relisting Your Item
Typically, the majority of transactions on eBay are completed successfully! But, if your item doesn't sell the first time around, all is not lost.

You can relist your item one more time for free. If your item sells the second time around, you'll get the insertion fee for the second listing back. (If it doesn't sell this time, you will need to pay the insertion fee). Please make sure the following conditions apply:

  • You didn't receive any bids on your listed item for a regular auction.
  • You are re-listing the same item within 30 days of the closing date of the first auction.
  • You didn't get any bids that met or exceeded your reserve price (for a Reserve Price Auction).
  • If you choose to have another Reserve Price Auction (optional), you must relist the item with the same or lower reserve price.

Since this offer is only good for one re-listing, you'll want to make the second try a great one! You may want to come up with a different title, change the bid price, or add a more detailed item description. Check out the Tips for Selling Relisted Items for more ideas on how to make your second auction a success!

To relist, go to the item page for your completed auction, and click on 'Relist this item.' If you choose to have another Reserve Price Auction (optional), please be sure to enter the same (or lower) reserve price, because reserve price information will not be copied to the new listing.

After your item sells, you will be charged the applicable Final Value Fee.

Note: This offer does not apply to Dutch Auctions.
