What does relisting do?
Also: Relisting
Relisting is ending an active but unsold listing and posting it again as new, which refreshes its date and can boost visibility in marketplace search and feeds. Resellers relist stale inventory to get it back in front of buyers. It's a workflow tactic, not a condition change — the item and its grade stay the same.
How it's used in a listing
A reseller who says “I relist anything that hasn't sold in 30 days” refreshes stale listings so they resurface in search results.
How it maps to the grade scale
Relisting doesn't change condition or grade — the item is identical. It's a visibility tactic. The item keeps whatever grade it held on the GradeThread 1.0–10.0 scale; only the listing's date and search freshness reset.

Relist — frequently asked
- Does relisting actually help items sell?
- It can. Relisting resets a listing's date so it resurfaces in search and feeds, exposing stale inventory to new buyers. It doesn't change the item's condition or price by itself, but improved visibility often leads to a sale.
