# Relisting Auctions

Relisting creates a new auction for a product that has already been auctioned. Use this when:

* The item **did not sell** (no bids, or the reserve price was not met).
* The winner **did not pay** and you have cancelled the winner.
* You have **additional inventory** of the same product.

***

## Before You Relist

Cancel any existing unpaid or scheduled auction listings for the product first. Only one live auction per product is allowed at a time.

***

## Relisting an Individual Product

1. Navigate to **Create Auction**.
2. Select **Select existing products**.
3. Search for and choose the product(s) you want to relist.
4. Configure the new auction settings.
5. Click **Create**.

***

## Relisting a Collection

1. Navigate to **Create Auction**.
2. Select **Select a collection** and choose the collection.
3. An auction is created for each product in the collection (up to 500 products). This method requires an [Auction Event](broken://pages/1QAwJm5tmpOyrrzjN6tX).
4. Configure shared settings and click **Create**.

You can also use [CSV Import](/auctions/csv-import-export-guide.md) to batch-import auctions into an event.

## Troubleshooting Relist Errors

You will see an error when trying to create an auction for a product that already has an active listing.

To resolve:

2. **If the listing has an unpaid winner:** Click **Cancel Winner** to release the product.

## Tips

* Review the previous auction's bid history before relisting. If there were no bids, consider adjusting the start price or auction duration.
* If a winner did not pay, you can [send a second-chance offer](/auctions/managing-winners-and-second-chance-offers.md#sending-offers-from-bids) to a runner-up bidder instead of relisting.
