Revision Limitations
The information that you can revise in your listing depends on the time left before the listing ends and whether you have received any bids or sales. You cannot change the listing format (for example, you cannot change from an online auction listing to a Fixed Price listing). In addition, you are not permitted to extend the duration of a listing if more than two hours have passed since you submitted the listing.
Note: Removing a bid does not enable you to revise the listing.
Listing Types
The following tables show the changes that you can make based on the type of listing, the time left before it ends, and whether you have received any bids:
Auction-style listing
Fixed Price listing
Store Inventory listing
Classified Ad listing
Tip: If you want to revise your listing but there are less than 12 hours before it ends, or there are bids for the item, you will need to end your listing early and relist it with your corrections.
