I did ask support, their reply was to move the listing to drafts to retrieve back the item. But how can i do so when my listing is placed under Sold, labelled Cancelled, but theres no Edit button. How can i get back my item ?

I apologize for the confusion, but this particular listing isn’t actually a sale, nor the item in the listing has been received by the potential buyer.

When you see a listing like this, this means that someone tried to buy it and was canceled before they ever received the item, most likely due to failed payment verification. When this happens, the listing automatically goes back onto the marketplace for someone else to purchase.

The info that Support had provided you was if you have a listing currently on the marketplace which you can find under the “On Sale” tab.

thank you for the clarification ! it would be better if i could tell that my listing has been posted back to the marketplace from viewing the information or maybe some other better ideas would really improve the system 🙂

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll see what we can do to better communicate this as I also feel there’s confusion with this.
