Relist

Overview

When a listing expires without selling, the seller can relist it to make it available again. PHP Pro Bid supports both automatic relisting (configured when the listing is created) and manual relisting from the seller’s listings page.

Auto Relist

When creating a listing, the Publishing tab includes auto relist options. Enable Auto Relist to have the listing automatically relist when it expires:

  • Enable Auto Relist — automatically relist the listing when it expires
  • Relist Until Sold — keep relisting until the item sells
  • Number of Relists — set a specific number of times to relist (max 365)
  • Auto Relist if Sold — relist even after the item has sold (useful for items with stock)

Manual Relist

To manually relist a closed listing, go to Selling → Listings, select the listing, and click the Relist button:

A confirmation dialog asks you to confirm the relist:

After confirming, the relisted listing appears as active and open with new start and end dates:

Depending on the admin relist method, relisting either creates a new listing (marking the original as deleted) or re-opens the same listing. When the same listing is re-opened, offers and sales remain but auction bids are removed.

Admin Settings

Relist settings are managed at Admin → Listings → Settings → Relist Settings:
