How to relist an item on Vinted
Visibility5 min readUpdated
To relist an item on Vinted, delete the existing listing and create a new one with the same photos and details. Vinted has no one-tap relist button — a relisted item is simply a new listing, which is why it appears at the top of the feed again.
Relisting is free, but it deletes the item's view count and, more importantly, everyone who had favourited it. That is often a worse trade than it looks.

How to relist, step by step
Save your photos before deleting anything — once the listing is gone, so are the images stored against it.
- Open the listing and save or screenshot the photos if you no longer have the originals
- Copy the description text somewhere you can paste from
- Delete the listing
- Create a new listing with the same photos and details
- Take the opportunity to improve the title and price rather than copying them verbatim
What relisting costs you
Favourites are the real loss. Anyone who favourited the item is notified when its price drops, which makes a well-favourited listing a small, warm audience. Deleting the listing deletes that list.
You also lose the view count, which is the diagnostic that tells you whether the problem is visibility or price. Relisting resets the evidence you would use to decide what to fix.
When relisting is the right move
Relisting makes sense when the listing itself is the problem and there is nothing worth preserving.
- The photos are poor and you can reshoot
- The title or category was wrong, so the item was never findable
- The item has almost no views and no favourites after several weeks
- You want to substantially reposition the price and the description
When to bump or drop the price instead
If the item has favourites, a price drop is usually the stronger move — it notifies everyone who favourited it, which relisting would have thrown away.
If the item is correctly priced but buried by newer listings, bumping keeps the history and buys the visibility directly. Relisting achieves a similar position for free but at the cost of everything the listing had accumulated.
Deciding this across a large closet
For a handful of items this is a judgement call you can make from memory. Across a few hundred listings it becomes guesswork, and the items that most need attention are the ones you have forgotten about.
Per-listing view, favourite and offer history is what makes the decision mechanical rather than intuitive — that is what shop insights is for, and auto-bump handles the cases where the answer is simply visibility.
Frequently asked questions
How do I relist an item on Vinted?
Delete the existing listing and create a new one with the same photos and details. Vinted has no dedicated relist button — a relisted item is a new listing, which is why it returns to the top of the feed.
Does relisting on Vinted cost anything?
No, relisting is free. The cost is that you lose the listing's view count and all of its favourites, including buyers who would have been notified of a price drop.
Is it better to bump or relist on Vinted?
Bump when the listing has favourites or views worth keeping and the price is right. Relist when the listing itself is the problem — bad photos, wrong category, weak title — and there is no accumulated interest to lose.
How often should I relist items on Vinted?
Sparingly. Repeatedly relisting the same item wastes the interest it accumulates each time. If an item is not selling after several relists, the price or the item is the problem, not its position in the feed.
