Ended Listing

[theholidayisle]

I would like to know if there is anyway to restore a listing I ended that shows the number of times that item sold? I ended a listing and when relisting it none of the prior sells are there.

When you relist an ended listing you are creating it brand new. 
None of the previous sales will show in it.

Hi @theholidayisle 

-When you End a listing it is moved to your Unsold file.  It will remain there for 90 days or until you Relist it or delete it.  When an item is Relisted it is assigned a new eBay item number so the historical sales data you had when it was live is lost.

Thank you much. Yes, I was fearing all lost.

You are more than welcome.  If it was a good selling item before I am confident you will sell more once you Relist it.

If you are interested in doing something similar to this in the future, you must enable "Listings stay active when you're out of stock" on this page here: https://www.ebay.com/uas/selling-pref

This doesn't work retrospectively, and I'm unsure of how that works with listings you've ended yourself. I think they still stay active, in the sense that they're still available for editing/relisting, they're just not visible on eBay search.

This is some very good information for you.  Using the Inventory setting in your Site Preferences for OOS [out of stock] will keep any listing that gets sold our or you zero the quantity active but not visible to buyers.  Once you get more quantity in, just update the listing quantity and then it becomes live again for buyers to see.

I use this setting and it works really well for me.

Thank you and I will follow this advice for certain.
