# Restarts an ended item, listing it again as a new item. The restart is processed asynchronously: on success the response carries the id reserved for the new item, which becomes retrievable once the restart completes. An item can only be restarted while it is ended, unsold and has restarts left; when it does not qualify the response is returned with \`isSuccessful\` false and a \`validationError\` describing why. Returns 404 if the item does not exist or does not belong to the seller.

`POST /v4/listings/items/{itemId}/restart`

## Path parameters

- `itemId` integer, required

## Response `200`

OK

- RestartItemResult — Outcome of a restart request for an ended item.
  - `isSuccessful` boolean — Whether the restart was accepted. A restart runs asynchronously, so a successful response means the restart was queued, not that the new item is listed yet.
  - `oldItemId` integer — The item that was restarted.
  - `newItemId` integer, nullable — The id reserved for the restarted item. Null when the restart was rejected. The item becomes available under this id once the restart completes.
  - `validationError` string, nullable — Why the restart was rejected, for example "Item is not ended" or "Item has already been restarted". Null when the restart was accepted.
