Relist item with same item ID

Question

I understand that you can edit quantities to keep a listing active, but if the last item sold before I could change the quantity, is there any way to relist or revise with the same item ID?

The reason I want to keep it under the same item ID is because I've made multiple sales for that item and want to retain the sales count and watchers.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

You can't keep the same number if the listing has ended.

You can relist or "Sell Similar" from the drop-down list here:
https://www.ebay.com/mys/sold or
https://www.ebay.com/mys/unsold

If this is an item that you sell regularly, you may want to enable "Out of Stock" for your account.

With that setting, you can change the quantity to 0 (or sell your last one), and the listing will stay active.

This is an account-wide setting that will apply to all your listings.

To enable the "Out of Stock" setting

1) Go here https://www.ebay.com/uas/selling-pref
2) Turn ON the switch for "Listings stay active when you're out of stock" under the "Multi-quantity listings" section.

You can learn more on this help page:

When the "Out of Stock" setting is enabled, eBay will NOT end your listing when the quantity gets to Zero. The listing, with its sales history, stays active. When your next shipment comes in, you can add inventory to the listing again.

This applies to ALL listings. So if you have any one-off items... for example, a used coffee mug, when that mug sells, the listing will still be there with 0 quantity. You will manually end any listings that you do not expect to restock.

When items have 0 quantity, they will be hidden from search.
When items are restocked, they will appear in search again.
