Relist
Relist is a refresh tool with teeth. It deletes a stale listing and posts a brand-new copy with the same content, optionally with subtly modified photos so the marketplace’s duplicate-detection doesn’t flag it.
The result: your item gets a fresh listed-date and re-enters the search feed as new content, instead of being buried by the algorithm as old stock.
When to use it
- A listing has been live for weeks with no traction.
- The Depop refresher and Vinted re-uploads aren’t enough.
- You want to swap the lead photo or update wording without losing the price history showing in your shop activity.
If you just want to nudge a listing up without recreating it, use the Refresh tab instead.
How it works
For each item you select:
- SaleLinx reads the source listing’s title, description, price, category, condition, brand, size and photos from your cloud backup.
- Optionally applies photo modifications (crop, brightness or hue tweak, re-order) so the photos aren’t byte-identical to the originals.
- Posts a fresh listing on the same marketplace with all that content.
- Once the new listing is live, deletes the original.
- Updates your unified Listings view to point at the new ID.
This sequence is the safer order: post first, delete second. If posting fails partway, your original is still live and you haven’t lost anything.
Photo modification
Marketplaces aggressively de-duplicate listings by perceptual photo hash. SaleLinx’s photo modifier tweaks each photo just enough to break the hash without changing how the photo looks to a buyer:
- Crop - trims a small uneven border off each edge.
- Hue / brightness - nudges colour balance by a couple of percent.
- Order shuffle - reorders photos beyond the first one (the lead stays where you put it for buyer recognition).
Modification is on by default. If you toggle it off, photos are re-uploaded verbatim and you may end up with a duplicate-flagged listing.
Running it
From the Listings tab:
- Select the rows you want to relist (single or multiple).
- Open the bulk-action toolbar and click Relist.
- Confirm the photo-modification settings (or accept defaults).
- Click Start.
SaleLinx queues the relists and processes them with safe pacing between items so the marketplace doesn’t flag the burst as automated activity. Progress shows in the panel; you can keep working in other tabs.
Plan and access
Available on every paid plan, including the 7-day free trial. There’s no tab-level lock. What varies by plan is your monthly relist allowance - the higher tiers raise it considerably. See the pricing page for current numbers.
If you only need a lighter visibility bump (no delete + repost), the Refresh tab is the lower-touch alternative.
