How to Delist (Deactivate or Delete) a Listing on Etsy

Updated October 2026. Crosslisty is a Chrome extension (it also works in Brave and Edge) that copies a listing to the other marketplaces, fills each form for you, and removes sold items from your other listings.

Steps

1. Open Shop Manager and go to Listings.
2. Select the listing, then choose Deactivate (keeps it as a draft) or Delete (removes it).

Worth knowing

• Etsy charges a listing fee for each listing and a renewal fee when a listing is renewed, so deactivating a sold item early avoids a pointless renewal.
• Deactivating keeps your listing so you can renew it later. Deleting does not.

Delisting Etsy automatically

Etsy is assisted. Crosslisty opens the right Etsy page so you can deactivate the sold item in one click.

Crosslisty checks items that are listed on two or more marketplaces about every 15 minutes while your browser is open. It calls a sale only after the marketplace confirms it on two separate checks. It then removes the other listings from Poshmark, Mercari, Depop and Vinted, asking you first unless you turn on automatic removal, and checks that each listing is really gone. For eBay, Etsy and Facebook it opens the right page so you can end the listing yourself.
