Watcher accepted offer, didn't pay, relisted the item, all the other watchers are gone...

Is there anyway to get the same offer this watcher accepted and then refused to pay to all the other watchers who originally received the offer as well? I had multiple items that had 10-15 watchers. Those watchers and I shouldn't be penalized because someone refused to pay. It's a lose-lose-lose situation. Anyway eBay can restore those watchers???

eBay can't restore the watchers, but if it was an item with that many looking at it... they'll be back. Good luck.

Your relisted item starts the listing over, any views or watchers don’t carry over.

When an item with that many watchers is relisted ebay tends to notify them of the relisting.

All you can do now is be patient and avoid using offers next time. I would have relisted at the lowered price of what you were willing to accept (a buy it now without best offer enabled.)

I recommend you to enable "Listings stay active when you're out of stock" option.

After you enable this option, any buyer accept your offer, the listing will still active and keep the watchers, if he doesn't pay, in this case you don't need to re-list the item again with zero watchers, just edit the quantity of the old active listing (that have watchers) from (0) to (1) and the the listing will showing up again at ebay.

You will find this "Listings stay active when you're out of stock" option under your (Selling preferences) in your account.
