listing a previously bought item

hi i was just wondering if there was a way of doing this without having to write out whole listing (sure have done it before) i want to relist items i bought that my son has grown out of. Any advise would be great

  • Not as far as I am aware. If you can still access the original listing you can click on "List a similar item" but this just takes you through the process using the same category listing but you still have to fill in the details.
    You could try cutting and pasting the text and so on from the original but strictly speaking this belongs to the original seller.
    (It is very simple to relist something you have previously sold, if you have another one, but not something you have bought.)
  • Yes - there is a way...

    In your 'my ebay' look at your recently bought items... on the drop down menu (on the right of action) click the drop down menu. on this there is 'sell one like this' which, when you click it, will haves 90% of the info already filled in! hope this helps :)
  • This is what I meant, but it doesn't fill in the info, the picture, or the price - just the category - it doesn't even fill in the title. Unless I am doing something wrong!

    You want to sell an item purchased from someone else?

    It is against Ebay rules to use the original sellers listings and photograph, they are copyright the original seller.

    If you do it, the least that will happen is your listing will be removed

    That would depend on where the original seller got the photos and text from.

    I doubt listing removal will be the least that will happen as I suspect nothing at all would be the least and listing removal the most.
