Sold a couple items today and realized that on e 1 I forgot to mention that I had additional pieces available. Is ther a setting to relist an original listing or do I need to create a whole new listing.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

Let me guess - I am the only person to ever sell anything on iOffer......... Hey guys - maybe the amazing lack of assistance from other users could be a a hint as to why these sites are not growing as fast as they could.

Maybe no one else here ever actually SOLD anything on Ioffer? It's not as easy as it sounds to actually get someone to pay for an Ioffer purchase!

fenix03 - go into your iOffer account and look at your sold items to see if it is possible to relist. I'm not sure. I sell multiples and usually relist from expired items. If you can't relist, cut and paste the description into a new listing format, upload the pic and with minimum of fuss you have a new listing.
iOffer is going through some upgrades right now. I have decent sales there. iOffer provides lots of ways to promote your shop and item listings. They index you to google and froogle. Its all about links.
I have been selling there since before it was iOffer. Within the past 6 months, iOffer has really grown. Its amazing at the exodus of eBay sellers to iOffer. It takes patience and time like with any site. There are non paying bidders but I have found the incidence to be less than on eBay. There are scam sellers as well as buyers.
My one critisim is that western union auction payments does not make payments for iOffer transactions. PayPal, checks, money orders and cashier's checks are the typical payment methods. I know there are other online payment systems but it seems none of them have created the "comfort" level PayPal has with the buyers. As a seller, I sweat PayPal payments.
I know other sellers have different opinions of iOffer but I like the no fee listing, the final value fee is in line with eBay's and the iOffer user agreement is straightforward. There is a community feeling there if you care to participate. You have a lot of freedom in the ways that you sell your items.

Chimpchamp I have had some people pay with Bidpay on items they won on Ioffer, for others it doesn't work. I'm not sure what the difference was. I have sold quite a bit on Ioffer and I have quite a few international customers there. Melanie

Ive been selling on iOffer for quite some time now and have had sold few items there. I like the total environment you get there specialy the community section.
Regarding the relisting problem, You can go to your expired/ended section of seller center and relist the item you have sold. The item will be highlighted in light Yellow showing it has been sold.
I tried to sell on ioffer. It didn't go very well. Only sold a few things. Others wanted the item for nothing or didn't send a payment. A couple didn't pay on ioffer, but came to eBay and bid on the same thing, won and paid. Go figure.
You can go into Ended/Expired and relist (copy) an item. At that point you should be able to edit to fit the new item.
Be kind. Everyone is fighting their own secret battles.
