The RelistFixedPriceItem call can be used to to relist fixed-price item that has ended. It is recommended to use this call instead of creating a new listing using the AddFixedPriceItem call to take advantage of the recent sales score associated with the listing.
Here is a Java RelistFixedPriceItem sample for re-listing a multi-variation item; a variation from the original listing is deleted and a new variation is added during the relist operation. This sample has been written using the Java SDK v673.
Below is the code. Corresponding SOAP request is attached with this article.
/**
*
* Sample code for using RelistFixedPriceItem to relist an item with variations
*
* The following steps need to be done to delete a field from an existing listing.
*
* 1. Create an ApiContext Object.
* 2. Set the auth token and target api url (Webservice endpoint).
* 3. Create a RelistFixedPriceItem object.
* 4. Create an item object and set the SKU for the item.
* 5. Create a VariationType for each variation that is to be listed.
* 6. Add item specifics for each variation.
* 7. Set all the variations to VariationsType object and set this to the item using ItemType#setVariations(VariationsType)
* 8. Set the item as the itemToBeRelisted in the RelistFixedPriceItemCall object.
* 9. Add any field that is to be deleted to the RelistFixedPriceItemCall#setDeletedField(String[]) array.
* 10. Invoke RelistFixedPriceItemCall#relistFixedPriceItem() to re-list the item(A new item ID will be generated).
