Is there any benefit to canceling an old listing for an item and replacing it with a new listing for the same item?

Modified on: September 9th, 2024


No. We discourage this practice for several reasons. First, it messes up our Search Genius software, which relies on accurate inquiry and viewing data to select listings. Second, it messes up the stats that we display on the listing page. And lastly, we don't want people manipulating our search results because it lowers the quality of our searches. If you try to do this, we will cancel the new listing and reactivate the old listing. You can, however, renew an existing listing.
