How to Re-list an Unsold Item on eBay
Despite your best efforts of researching products, taking good pictures and writing thorough auction descriptions there will be times when an item for sale on eBay does not sell. When an auction ends with the item unsold you may wish to re-list the item. You also may need to re-list an item when the auction ended with a winning bidder that did not pay.

Tips & Warnings
You will automatically receive an Insertion Fee Credit for your re-listed item if it sells the second time through. However the item must be re-listed within ninety days of the first auction and it may not be re-listed for a higher price than it was offered the first time.
EBay policy says you must re-list your item through the "Re-list" feature as outlined above in order to get the Insertion Fee Credit. If you copy and paste your unsold auction description into a new listing you will not be eligible for the credit.
