These can be in one of two formats:
An actual item you currently have but at a hugely inflated price.
Or something that no one would ever want to buy. Like a blade of grass for £20
In the unlikely event someone does? Happy days! You've made an insane sale

Using the "Sell Similar" Option:
Once you have ended the listing for previous items you had for sale you will want to get them listed again as quick as possible.
DO NOT click on the "Relist this item" button. This will relist your item under the previous selling terms.

A WarningFollow the above advice at your own risk!
I've never known anyone to be be warned or have their account restricted. There is simply no way for eBay to know what you are doing.
In eBays own terms and conditions it states the following:
THANK YOU!!Thank you for reading my thread on this promotion.
It generally appears every 6 weeks or so, sometimes in other formats such as £3 or 10% Max selling fees.
Each time the same principles apply.
