One of my items didn't sell tonight, and I wanted to relist it but mistakenly deleted it from my closed auctions in Vendio and did not archive it! It's still in My Ebay. I'd like to relist it starting Thursday night but I can't do that with Ebay, only through Vendio (that's my understanding anyway--that Ebay doesn't allow us to schedule a listing time. I never list through Ebay directly so am ignorant about this).
Is there a way to import my Ebay listing to Vendio so I can schedule a start date? Or am I sunk?

Roadsmith...Maybe I've been asleep at the wheel, but I wasn't aware you could delete a closed auction in Vendio. I thought they were all archived. Did you try looking for it in the recently archived section? You can relist directly from Ebay, but Vendio will charge you a dime a pic for attaching the pictures to a non-Vendio auction. It would be cheaper to recreate the auction from scratch and launch it as a new one than pay for the pics. However, I bet if you dig deep enough, you can still find that auction lurking dormant in Vendio's servers.

Hi:
Just go to: Sales Manager-Sales Archive-Restore Archive.
You will find your auction in there,check the box and restore.
Then your back where you started.

Also if you save to inventory - a copy will be there too. You couldn't get your listing fee refund if it sells but it would save some work.

Thanks, everybody. It's absolutely true that I deleted that auction from Vendio! It wasn't in archives, it wasn't in closed auctions or unsold auctions. I did something unusual with it and have no idea what.
But it was in Ebay--just more trouble and expense to relist than I wanted to do, so I just copied the description itself and did a new auction entirely, taking Lucy's advice.
I think I'll never do that again. It was late and I was tired!
Edited to add: I just checked this morning in archives and "restore archives," and none of my items ending last night are there, so perhaps there's a lag on Vendio's part. Anyway, it's done, and I've learned a lesson (not sure what I did, so not sure what the lesson is!). . . .

Very interesting! I have never deleted an auction, just let Vendio put them in Archive. I have gone into Archive & brought back unsold auctions fro a month or so back.

On ebay,
You can pre-schedule to start an auction on the page where you insert your dollar amount and images. Costs 10 cents.

Roadsmith...I would like to see you pursue this in the Auction Manager - Image hosting forum. We used to be able to delete auctions, but Vendio disabled that option and switched to the archiving scheme they have today. My guess is that there was a glitch on Vendio's part and your closed auction is just lost or "misplaced" somewhere. If there is a method to permanently delete a closed auction, I would love to know about it , as I'm sure many others would also. The mods should be able to chase down that auction number and find out what happened.

Sparkz--too lazy and tired to pursue this further with Vendio! I started from scratch and listed it again on Vendio. I hope I never do that mistake again with an auction. It took me at least an hour to figure out what to do! But thanks for your help and interest.
