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 an item with some minor modifications (title updated. subtitle deleted).
/**
* Sample code to relist an item (with minor modifications) using the RelistFixedPriceItem call
*
* 1. Create an ApiContext Object
* 2. Set the auth token and target api url (Webservice endpoint)
* 3. Create a RelistFixedPriceItemCall object.
* 4. Create an item object and set the SKU for the item whose field(s) is/are to added/modified.
* 5. Set the InventoryTrackingMethod in the item object and set it to the ReviseFixedPriceItemCall object.
* 6. Execute the API call RelistFixedPriceItemCall.relistFixedPriceItem() to relist the listing
*
