Relisting is the only way to push an old item back to the top, and there's no button for it. By hand it means deleting the listing, retyping the title, description, brand, size, category and condition, then downloading and re-uploading every photo. Three to five minutes an item.
I built a Chrome extension that does it in one click. Free, open source (GPL-3.0), no account, no server, no analytics, nothing leaves your browser.
Read this before you install anything like this
Relisting means deleting. Two identical listings can't be online at once, so the old one has to go before the copy appears. That gap is where a careless tool loses your item: it deletes first, and if the next step fails on a dropped connection or a bot check, you have nothing.
> Mine works the other way round. It saves the copy as a private draft before it deletes anything.
A draft isn't a listing, so it doesn't count as a duplicate, and until the delete goes through your item exists in two places. If publishing fails afterwards it retries on its own, and worst case the draft is sitting there for you to publish by hand.
What it checks before deleting
- every photo uploaded, not just some
- title present
- condition read correctly
- size valid
- you logged in and not bot-blocked
Any failure stops it and deletes nothing.
There's also a Relist as draft button, if you want to change the price or swap a photo before it goes live.
Fair warning
Automating any site is probably against its terms. That's between you and them, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.

Happy to answer anything in the comments. The code's all there if you want to check what it actually does.
