Auto-Relist
Auto Relisting allows you to define up to how many times your ad will automatically be relisted.  The default setting is for 3 Auto-relists which gives your item up to a year to run before you will have to manually relist it.  The usual listing fees will apply each time the ad is relisted.
  • This 90 day window gives you the opportunity to review your items to see how many times they have been viewed and consider updating the information about your item.  Once you have relisted your item, go to the OPEN ITEMS section of your "My Mart" pages where you can  EDIT the new listings to add to the description, change categories, lower (or raise) the price, or add more images.
  • Each time (every 90 days) your items relist, you will receive an email notification listing all the items that have been relisted.  This is designed as a backup system to remind you the items included have "open item" status on the Children's Book Mart database in case you have sold any of the items elsewhere and forgotten to close the sold item listings on Children's Book Mart.  Always review the listings in these relist notification emails to be sure they are still available for sale.
  • This reminder should not be viewed as the primary system for closing Children's Book Mart items sold elsewhere.  As indicated in the User Agreement which each Member agrees to when they register, Sellers are required to keep their active inventory records up to date by closing records of sold items immediately. 
    Note: Items purchased through Children's Book Mart are automatically closed and removed from open item status when they are sold.

Sellers who list on multiple sites should develop a system to identify items listed on Children's Book Mart so they can  close them when they are sold elsewhere or no longer available for sale. One simple system is to flag each book with a colored bookmark or a light pencil mark code to indicate it is an open item on our site.  Whenever you sell a book that has your designated indicator, simply login to Children's Book Mart,  and then either (1) go to the OPEN ITEMS section of your "My Mart" page or (2) view the item and click on the Close this Item link (only visible to the seller when they are logged in).   Once you are viewing your Open Items, click on the red CLOSE button next to the listing you want to close to remove it from open item status.  The record will still be available for viewing by the seller for 90 days after it is closed, but it will no longer be viewable by anyone but the seller.

Manual relisting is a simple process.  First, review the list of your titles in your CLOSED ITEMS section of your "My Mart" pages, then either manually select the ones you want to relist or globally select them all using the SELECT ALL checkbox, and finally click the RELIST SELECTED button.
