If an item has been purchased or its listing has expired, you can start selling it again by renewing the listing. New listings are set to renew automatically when they expire by default. You can choose to turn off automatic renewal so your listings can be renewed manually when they expire.
Just like posting a new listing, there will be a $0.20 USD fee charged to your Payment account each time you renew a listing. While this will give it a new listing date and a new expiration date (4 months from the renewal date), the renewed listing will still keep its original view count, number of favorites, and web address.
If you don’t want your sold out listings to be visible to buyers anymore, you have the option to hide it instead of renewing it.
