RISK

Why ebay_relist_item is rated Medium

This tool re-creates/restores a previously ended listing on eBay, which is a write operation (creating a new active listing from an ended one). It may include modifications to listing details. While it involves a marketplace listing, it doesn't directly move money or commit financial obligations — it only makes an item available for sale.
