Can't edit a relisting. Frustratingly hard to sell something on eBay.

- I spent a lot of time making 2 nice listings.

- I foolishly included a URL to more information about the products.

- eBay flagged both listings for containing URLs, and ended them both.

- I get an email to resolution center and the option to relist.

HOWEVER

- I'm trapped in an infinate loop of failing to relist

- You cannot edit a ended listing

- And when I click relist, it doesn't let you ammend the listing, although the resolution center suggests you can.

- The result of this is I have to make both entire listings again from scratch.

- There is no simple way I can find to remove the URLs, and relist the items. If there is, it is hidden behind a dreadful UI. 
Request: When clicking relist in resolution center (or anywhere) open the edit listing display BEFORE relisting.

How frustrating. Is there any way it will let you click on 'Sell Similar'?

I had the exact same problem after having one of my listings removed. The endless loop you describe with a red banner message at the top of the page. I couldn't find any way to edit or relist it either.

 

I was lucky as it had previously been listed a few times & I was able to relist one of those.

 

The only thing that may help save you time is to open your ended listing & copy & paste your description in to a new listing - if you have 2 tabs open you can make sure the rest of the info is also correct.

 

It must be a bug as the option should work as the button to revise is there, & not greyed out... just doesn't work.

I haven’t found a way to even get rid of the removed listing from my unsold items.

And no one to tell to get it fixed except powerless fellow victims. Our robot overlords are deaf to our pain.
