how to find an expired listing

[alan21791]

I would like to relist an expired listing but since it expired more than 90 days ago, the listing cannot be found.

Since I have the item number, is there a way to retrieve the listing from archive?

You might try a Google search and see if it finds anything.

Other then that, you'll have to start over.

There is not AFAIK. The item is removed from the database, only the item number remains. Oddly enough, the best way to preserve that is to leave feedback on the item, both bought and sold as it remains for way longer than 90 days. I have items that I sold many years ago that still have the number attached to them in my feedback profile.

In the future if you suspect you will be relisting something I suggest making a template out of it.

Hey @alan21791! Once a listing goes from active to your unsold folder it will sit there for up to 90 days before our system goes through and deletes them. In this case you would have to create a new listing from scratch.

But how can I leave feedback for an item that is already expired?

Feedback can only be left within sixty days of a transaction.

Feedback cannot be left for any item that has been removed from eBay for any reason.

It was a real long shot, but I tried a google search for listings from your user ID, and I found one listing that you had sold a number of Blackjack cards, and received feedback for more than a year ago.

If this was the one you were looking for you're in luck. Otherwise, I'm afraid not. This was the only old listing of yours that I found.

Lacemaker3,

Thank you so much for taking the time to find that!

That is exactly what I was looking for.
