CrosslistyHow to relist an item on Mercari
For an item that sold, open it from your completed sales and tap Relist to copy it into a new listing. For an item you deactivated, go to My listings, then Inactive, and tap Reactivate. For a live listing that is not selling, use Promote: a price drop of at least 5% bumps it in search and notifies people who liked it. Avoid deleting and reposting the same item, which Mercari prohibits.
The shortcut: Crosslisty copies a Mercari listing to eBay, Poshmark, Depop, Etsy, Vinted and Facebook, and takes it off Mercari when it sells elsewhere.
Add to Chrome, free- Sold item: open it from your completed sales and tap Relist. Check tags, shipping and price on the copy.
- Inactive item: My listings, Inactive, Reactivate. You can select several at once.
- Stale item: Promote with at least a 5% price drop, once every 24 hours.
- Mercari prohibits duplicate listings and excessive reposting.
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.
Relist a sold item
If you have another of the same item, open the sold item from your completed sales. Next to View order you will see Relist. It copies the listing into a new draft with the same photos and details.
Sellers report that the copy sometimes loses tags or changes the shipping or price, so check every field before you publish.
Reactivate an inactive listing
Deactivating hides a listing without deleting it. To bring it back, go to My listings, open the Inactive tab and tap Reactivate. You can select several listings, or all of them, and reactivate them together. Vacation mode deactivates everything at once, and turning it off brings them back.
Deactivate or delete?
- Deactivate when you might sell the item later, or you are taking a break. The listing, its photos and its likes are kept.
- Delete when the item is gone for good. A deleted listing cannot be brought back, so you would have to list it from scratch.
Bump a stale listing with Promote
Promote lowers the price by at least 5% and boosts the item in search, and Mercari notifies people who liked it. You can promote an item once every 24 hours, and each new promotion must go at least another 5% below the lowest price the item has had. The price cannot go below $1, and the drop is permanent.
- Offer to likers: at least 10% off, sent to up to 50 recent likers, valid for 24 hours, once every 72 hours.
- Time-limited sale: at least 10% off for items listed 7 days or more, runs for 3 days and shows the item in Deals.
What Mercari’s rules say
Mercari lists creating multiple listings of the same item and excessive reposting of previously listed items as prohibited conduct, and it removes duplicate listings. Relisting a sold item you have another of is fine. Deleting and reposting the same item over and over to get to the top of search is not.
Relist on other marketplaces too
If an item is not selling on Mercari, it may sell elsewhere. Crosslisty imports the Mercari listing and fills the listing form on eBay, Poshmark, Depop, Etsy, Vinted or Facebook in seconds. When it sells, the Mercari listing is removed for you after you confirm. See Mercari to eBay or Mercari to Poshmark.
