Auctiva can automatically relist your item based on your preferences using the Auto-Relist Profile. This tutorial will show you how to create an Auto-Relist Profile.
Introduction
The Auto-Relist Profile is a group of settings and conditions that will control whether a listing will be automatically relisted. You can choose which instances will enable this profile to automatically relist the item. It's very important to note that if you are not careful with the setup and implementation of this profile, you could accidentally relist items repeatedly and additional eBay fees will accrue. Auctiva is not responsible for these fees. Make sure you understand the settings in the Auto-Relist Profile before you implement it with one of your listings.
Instructions
Auto-Relist Profiles are individually assigned to listings using the Auctiva Lister.
Step 1. Add Auto-Relist Profile.
- Hover your mouse over the Profiles tab and click on the "Create New" link in the Auto-Relisting section (Figure 1). The Auto-Relist Profile page will load.
Step 2. Edit Auto-Relist selling conditions.
- I Want to Auto-Relist if: Select from any of the selling conditions. Here are the options:
- Any items have sold: Select this radio button if you want to auto-relist when any item associated with this profile has sold.
- All items have sold: Select this radio button if you want to auto-relist when all items associated with this profile have sold.
- None of the items have sold: Select this radio button if you want to auto-relist when no items associated with this profile have been sold.
- Don't Auto-Relist based on items sold: Select this checkbox if you do not want to auto-relist based on whether or not the items have sold.
Step 3. Edit additional auto-relisting conditions.
- The item qualifies for eBay relisting credit: Select this checkbox if you want to auto-relist items that qualify for an eBay relisting credit. See the terms for relisting credit qualification here.
- At least "quantity expressed" items are available in the Inventory: Select this checkbox if you want items to be auto-relisted based on the quantity of available inventory. When this is selected you will be able to express the quantity value in the empty field (Figure 3).
- Auto-Repost: Select this checkbox only if you want to always auto-list every item associated with this profile regardless of the selling conditions expressed and as long as the item does not qualify for the eBay relisting credit. Make sure you fully understand the eBay relisting qualifications. Many listings do not qualify, especially those that have already been relisted once before.
Step 4. Edit auto-relisting changes.
- Relist with no changes: Leave this checkbox selected if you want to relist the listing without making any additional changes from this profile. Unselect this checkbox to if you want to be able to change the starting price, listing duration and/or listing quantity. When unselected, the following options will appear (Figure 4):

- Auto-Relist "duration expressed" after the sale ends: Choose this option to auto-relist an item after an expressed duration when the listing ends. When selected, you can choose from minutes, hours and days.
- Auto-Relist weekly on this day and time: Choose this option to auto-relist on a specific day of the week and at a specific time. When selected, use the calendar widget to express a day and time. Check to make sure the time zone is correct (Figure 5).
- Auto-Relist one time only at "duration expressed": Choose this option to auto-relist only once after the listing ends. When selected, use the calendar widget to express a day and time. Check to make sure the time zone is correct.
- Stop Auto-Relisting choices:

Step 6. Edit Schedule Time Window.
