Notes:
When you relist or change a listing title, your listing might not be searchable in a keyword or category search until several hours after you've changed it.
In most cases, you can't change the listing format. For example, you can't change from an auction-style listing to a fixed price listing.
You can't extend the duration of a listing if 2 or more hours have passed since you submitted the listing.
You may be able to end your listing early and then relist it with any changes you want to make. However, if there are 12 hours or less remaining in an auction-style listing and the item has a bid, you can't end your listing. Removing a bid doesn't enable you to revise the listing.
Durations of more than 7 days can incur a fee and change some upgrade and insertion fees. If your item doesn't sell and you relist it, you might be able to get an insertion fee credit. Fixed price listings are not eligible for insertion fee credits.
