What changes can I make?
Here's an overview of what you can change and when you can do it:
- For most listings on eBay, you can edit a listing title, add or change photos, and add optional listing upgrades at any time
- For fixed price (Buy It Now) listings and auction listings with more than 12 hours left and no bids, you can lower the price
- In most cases, you can't change the listing duration or format. However, you can send a fixed price listing to auction by going to Seller Hub Active Listings - opens in new window or tab and selecting Change to auction from the Actions menu
- If you change from fixed price to auction, you will not have the option to add a Buy It Now option
- The previous view and watcher information from the fixed price listing will not be carried over to the auction listing
- If the fixed price listing has only one item, it will be ended when the auction listing is created
- If the fixed price listing has more than one item, one item will be sent to the auction listing and the quantity in the fixed price listing will decrease by one
- If you'd like to sell a different item, you'll need to create a new listing for the item, instead of editing an existing listing
