Can I ask a seller to make a new Buy It Now listing?

[ramsemarmar]

Hi all,

I recently bid on an auction listing that has now ended and unfortunately I did not win. In the listing, the seller stated in the description:

"Stock remaining: 21"

The auction was for a single unit, however.
I've checked the seller's other items and the remaining stock doesn't seem to be listed anywhere. My question is, is it acceptable for me to message the seller asking them to create a new Buy It Now listing for one of the remaining items at a similar price to the winning bid so that I may purchase through ebay?  Would that be against ebay terms?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your help.

It might be an error, as Auctions are not intended for selling multiple items and once one sells I would have thought that seller would have instantly relisted another.

No harm in asking but if you were the underbidder seller could have made a Second Chance Offer if he wanted to sell at your bid price.

You can message the seller and ask them that, no problem.
