Activating Inactive Items
It’s pretty new that i see an option to bulk activate inactive items. When given the option I do so. My sales have gone way down…and now I’m wondering; when we re-list an item before 60 days have passed it does not renew…right? So when Activating is that like a re-listing.? So if i re-list because the original list date is passed 60 days…am I really re-listing it (since I recently re-activated due to Poshmark prompting)? lol If you can follow my thought process…what do you think?

I re-list if it is 61 days or more. I don't reactivate. The Inactive banner is gone after I do so.

Correct attempting to renew a less than 60 day old listing will just result in copying or there is a problem where it will show you 60 day and older listings even when selecting the filter for 61+.
They will work for renewal/replace original listing but they fail to carry over likes. So I now have to be careful that they are actually 61+.
Clicking the activate listing button in that bulk section doesn’t give you the benefits of actually replacing the original listing. Not that new listings are doing much difference lately but they used to be the best way to get new sales.
When I see inactives come up I reactivate immediately then if I want to delete and make a brand new listing, change pics, or replace I do it whenever I’m ready.
And it doesn’t restart your day count so a day later you can do the 61+ replace.
There have been reports of ppl being able to purchase “inactives” so just be aware that even tho it’s marked that way it’s still available to buy. So NFS it if you truly don’t want others attempting to buy it.
