relisting trouble

[joliefran]

Hi!

When I try to relist something that was out of stock but is now back in stock, the system keeps telling me that the listing is already active, when it's not.  I even run a search on the title and it does not show up.  Is there away around this?  The concept of being able to relist something saves a lot of time and effort, but the system keeps blocking me.  Anybody else experience this and/or find away around it?

I assume you are using "out-of-stock" option.....

you are trying to relist with an "idle" listing.....

If you are sure it is not being duplicated somehow, maybe just change a letter of re-arrange the title a bit?

Sell similar might work instead of relist.

@joliefran  go to the listing that is showing active, click edit, then change the number available from zero to your now available number

I believe you can "Add + 1" right from the Active Listing Page under Available Quantity (which should be "0" of it is active) if it is there.....

Just hover over the 0 for a box to popup and add "1"

I'll try that.  Thanks!!

[joliefran]

That is often the ONLY thing that works!  It's annoying!!

[joliefran]

That's a good idea.  Thanks!!

Where are you searching?

If you're using public-facing search, an active out of stock listing will not appear.

Instead, search your active listings page in seller hub:

https://www.ebay.com/sh/lst/active

If you're using the out of stock setting, but don't want to, you can disable it here:

It is working by design.  Good thing about adding “1” to the quantity available on an out of stock item is that watchers will be alerted that the item is available again.
