Order cancellations, decoded: when Disconnect relists your Discogs listing (and when it will not)

The cancellation reason decides the outcome

Cancel an order because the item is unavailable, and Disconnect will not relist it on Discogs — that reason means the stock is genuinely gone, so relisting would just create another oversell.

Cancel because the buyer asked to back out, or because they never paid, and Disconnect relists automatically. Those two reasons mean the item is still sellable, so there is no reason to leave it dark.

Automatic relisting is not a blanket safety net. It only fires for the cancellation reasons that actually mean the item is still in stock.

The checkbox that undoes it

Whichever platform the cancellation happens on shows a "relist item for sale" checkbox at the moment you cancel. For the reasons Disconnect handles automatically, leave that box unchecked — if you check it yourself, you and Disconnect can both try to relist the same item.

This behaves differently depending on your inventory setup, too: sellers using the Notes/Comment method get the relist logic above, but sellers on the Discogs quantity field never get an automatic Discogs relist from a cancellation, full stop, regardless of the reason. Know which method you are on before you assume what happens next.
