How to Relist an eBay Refunded Listing

eBay will attempt to relist items automatically when a buyer requests an order be canceled or returns an item for a buyer-remorse reason. Ensure the “Re-list item” checkbox is unchecked when completing the cancellation/refund within eBay.

If this checkbox is left checked when refunding a buyer, both Lister and eBay will relist the item, potentially leading to a double sale. Click here for more details on How to Safely Cancel and Refund Orders in eBay and Relist via Lister.

Order Cancellation Page:

Cancel Creation 2023-03-16 at 8.25.28 AM

Order Refund Page:

When canceling an order, be sure "Relist for free" box is set to "No"

Once the order/item is refunded, complete the following steps:

  1. Click the Listings tab in the top navigation menu of Lister and select your eBay account

  2. Click the “Sold” tab

  3. Search for the SKU, listing title, or eBay Item ID and click the listing in the search results

  4. Click the eyeball icon next to the listing in the search results to open the Listing Drawer

  5. Click “Restart Run” in the Listing Strategy Details section (if a Listing Strategy was used to list the item)

  6. Optional: Click “Edit Details” and make any needed changes, then save the updated listing

  7. Click “Relist” at the bottom of the page

  8. Review any desired changes in the pop-up box and click the blue “Relist 1 item” button


How to Relist a Shopgoodwill Refunded Listing

💡Operational Tip: Unlike eBay and Shopify, edits to the new Shopgoodwill listing must be made after the item has been relisted.

Once the order/item is refunded in Shopgoodwill, complete the following steps:

  1. Click the Listings tab in the top navigation menu of Lister and select your Shopgoodwill account

  2. Click the “Sold” tab

  3. Search for the SKU, listing title, or eBay Item ID and click the listing in the search results

  4. Click the eyeball icon next to the listing in the search results to open the Listing Drawer

  5. Click “Restart Run” in the Listing Strategy Details section (if a Listing Strategy was used to list the item)

  6. Click “Relist” at the bottom of the page

  7. Review any desired changes in the pop-up box and click the blue “Relist 1 item” button

  8. Optional: To make changes to the new listing, select the relisted listing by clicking on it in the Listings history section, then click “Edit Details”


How to Automatically Relist a Refunded Shopify Listing

Shopify allows you to automatically relist an item during the refund step. If you select the checkbox to restock the item in Shopify, the listing will restart automatically, with no action required in Lister:

If edits to the listing are required BEFORE relisting the item, ensure the “Restock item” checkbox is NOT checked in Shopify while refunding the item, then complete the following steps:

  1. Click the Listings tab in the top navigation menu of Lister and select your Shopify account

  2. Click the “Sold” tab

  3. Search for the SKU, listing title, or eBay Item ID and click the listing in the search results

  4. Click the eyeball icon next to the listing in the search results to open the Listing Drawer

  5. Click “Edit Details” and make any needed changes, then save the updated listing

  6. Click “Restart Strategy” (if a Strategy was used to originally list the item, or the strategy has already ended)

  7. Click “Relist” at the bottom of the page

  8. Review any desired changes in the pop-up box and click the blue “Relist 1 item” button
