eBay Error 196: This item was not relisted because the listing does not exist or is still active.

Why this happens

eBay may have deleted the ended listing, but the software you're using has not deleted the data yet. Or, the listing was relisted, but the software is not updated. Why eBay enforces this: eBay can only relist an ended listing that still exists in its records. If eBay has removed the ended listing, or the listing is still active, the relist request has nothing to act on. When it usually happens: It appears when a listing tool's copy of the listing is out of date, for example after the listing was relisted or ended directly on eBay.
