Please follow the steps outlined in the Delete-Relist SOP to review how to delete and relist a listing.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In the standard delete-relist process, the listing is deleted and then relisted after 24 hours. However, in the case of removing a listing from a parentage, the listing will be relisted immediately after confirming its deletion from the catalog.

NOTE: Before relisting, ensure that the various attributes of the child listing are removed from your flat file to guarantee that the child ASINs will be detached from the current parent listing and appear as individual listings on your inventory page after relisting.
